Gay history like this needs to be immortalized! “The Sopranos” wasn’t exactly the most forward-thinking show when it came to queer people – so the fact that this guy existed, was a win for audiences… even if not ideal.
In fact, Vito Spatafore: the show’s one out-gay character, famously had to live a double life in order to stay in the crew. When he was discovered dancing his ass off at a gay club still on the mob’s payroll, he had to go on the lam just to escape being brutally hate crimed, which gave us the iconic episode “Johnnycakes,” a New Hampshire fantasy in which Vito finds queer community simply by leaving New Jersey.
We love the art that toy company Retrogimmick makes! Bravo. Check out actor Joseph Gannascoli with his new doll AND a clip of the original character after the jump. Ehhhhh!
