Leftist actor Michael Imperioli said on Sunday that he made the cast of a play that he was directing watch video clips of the January 6 riot to prepare for a scene.
Imperioli — known for his role as Christopher Moltisanti in “The Sopranos,” a violent drug addict — made the remarks during a Sunday interview with NBC News’ “Meet The Press” with host Kristen Welker while discussing the play, a revival of the 1882 Ibsen classic “An Enemy of the People.”
“We looked at, during rehearsal, videos from January 6th,” he said. “I mean, the violence that happens in our play, we made a direct parallel to what happened. Because there’s misinformation, and there’s manipulation of, ‘Listen. People attacked the Capitol based on absolute lies.’ That was confirmed by pretty much every judge and expert and everybody, lies and lust for power. And people were hurt, and people died as a result of that.”
Welker asked: “Why was that important to go back to January 6th?”
“It’s just something we were talking about, how quickly these – because it starts with words and ideas, that scene,” he said. “And how quickly it turns into violence.”

Imperioli said that he was not upset when the play was interrupted by far-left climate protesters.
“I wasn’t offended. I wasn’t, ‘How dare they interrupt my play?’” he said. “I think they did it in a constructive, respectful way.”
