ADD QUOTES
- Dominic: (about The Sopranos and his character on the show) For TV, I don't think I could have gotten a better part than Uncle Junior because of the intimacy of the character based on David Chase's brilliant writing.

- Dominic: I'm writing an autobiography, and I want to tell people that we have to learn something in life. We're here for some reason.

- Dominic: (talking about Oliver!) When we went on the national tour, I played Sowerberry [the undertaker]. At the Paper Mill Playhouse, I went on for Fagin. It was one night, but I realized that I could hold down a lead role. It was the highlight of my life!
