Frank Santorelli on The Sopranos

Frank was cast as "Georgie, the bartender" (he has no last name) in the first season, and has successfully (for the most part in one piece) survived 5 seasons, until in the tenth episode in season five, entitled, "Cold Cuts". In this episode, Tony Sopranos rage, got to be too much and his character, decided, "enough is enough". Frank's character, Georgie, works at Silvio Dante's strip club, the fictional "Bada Bing". Here are some photos from The Sopranos. Photos courtesy of HBO.

	This photo is from the fourth season episode "Christopher", one of the few times that Frank Santorelli, filmed outside of the New Jersey location used for the Bada Bing Club. Here Frank Santorelli is with John Ventimiglia (Artie Bucco) and Steven Van Zandt (Silvio Dante).
This classic pose, was taken at the fictional Bada Bing Club aka Satin Dolls, located in Lodi, New Jersey. Note the tattoos, on his arm, in reality, Frank sports no tattoos. It would take the make up department, several hours to apply these tattoos.
	Many of the scenes in The Sopranos are filmed in the fictional "back room" of the Bada Bing Club, which is actually a stage set located in Silvercup Studios in Queens, New York. Here Frank is with (left to right) Tony Sirico (Paulie Walnuts), Steven Van Zandt (Silvio Dante), Michael Imperioli (Christopher Moltisanti) and James Gandolfini (Tony Soprano).
No wonder, Georgie can't get the phone to work, it isn't plugged into the base unit.
	Everybody has to get in the act. Here Frank is shown with the character Ralph Cifaretto (played by Joe Pantoliano).
You'd think with muscles like this, Tony Soprano wouldn't even think of messing with Georgie!
