Where You’ve Seen Him: You ain’t seen him nowhere – you got that?!?! He was home reading a book at the time. Fogeddaboudit!.

Why He’s Someone To Watch This Fall: Imperioli’s commanding presence, combined with the appeal of New York circa 1970, will surely produce some riveting scenes. And sideburns.

Quote: ” I thought there was a lot of truth to the character, and I thought he’s different enough from what I had done in the past, although it seems to be most of the stuff I’ve been doing is either a cop or a robber….. but if that pays the bills, that’s okay.” –On his selection criteria when signing on for his latest role in ABC’s new cops and robbers show.
