Liotta said last year that he turned down the chance to star in “The Sopranos” in an interview with The Guardian.
“[Director] David [Chase] once talked to me about playing Ralphie. But never Tony,” Liotta said.
He then explained why he didn’t want to take part.
“I didn’t want to do another mafia thing, and I was shooting ‘Hannibal’. It just didn’t feel right at the time,” he continued.
The late actor was engaged to Jacy Nittolo and leaves behind his daughter Karsen, 23, whom he shares with ex-wife Michelle Grace.
