Because a Google search for Daily News gossip Jo Piazza returns a Jossip page as the first result, we're guessing an email from Sopranos actor Vince Curatola, pictured here on the left, that arrived in our inbox but was addressed to Jo, got sent to us by mistake.
Bummer. For him.
The note is a response to Jo's Full Disclosure column on Sunday, where she was talking about the possibility of a Sopranos movie. At the launch for Lorraine Bracco's new wine label (which didn't even get a mention!), Jo namedrops cast veterans like Michael Imperioli (Christopher Moltisanti), Steve Schirripa (Bobby 'Bacala' Baccalieri), and Dominic Chianese (Uncle Junior).
But no love for Curatola, who played Johnny 'Sack' Sacramoni, or Tony Sirico, who played Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri.
And Sack is sorta upset.
He writes:
Dear Jo,
As much as we all love Dominic Chianese, Steve Schirripa and Michael, I feel that i's important for your readers to know that Tony Sirico and I also attended Lorraine`s evening at Hard Rock. Normally I would not take the time to write this but for for many years we have all supported each others enterprises and causes and I feel it is important that our efforts are acknowledged. Your paper has always left some cast members off to the side when reporting our activities as a group. Reading your column this past Sunday only reinforces my point. We on The Sopranos are all costars. Thanks for taking the time to read this.
Vince Curatola
I loved Vincent(Johnny Sack), especially when he found Ginny on the floor with her candy bars, he was probably the most convincing mobster on the show, and there was nobody like Paulie Walnuts, he was perfect in the part. The entire cast was golden, they should all get mention, there will not be another show like it in the near future.
she should have known better!!

Oh brother, get your publicist on it, or get some more work. Stop your whining, your residuals should more than make up for it. You are a great actor, you should welcome being distanced little by little from the show, since it is OVER, and move on. Ever heard of the word typecast? It's almost as bad as the word DIVA.
Capiche?
hey vince stop crying biotch.
I'm glad Vincent took the time to write her. He is a true Italian; watch out for yourself and your fellow man and always try to correct an injustice, no matter how big or how small. Salut', Mr. Curatola.
Mr. Curatola and Mr. Sirico helped make the show into what it was. Actually, they're the reason I even started watching it. They worked just as hard as the other characters from the show so of course they should be mentioned as well and they have every right to speak up when they aren't. If it was one of us, we'd speak up for ourselves, so what's the big deal?
