Joe ("Joey Pants") Pantoliano, Hoboken's second favorite son (he hasn't been able to knock off Sinatra) tells his fascinating story of growing up in a real-life Sopranos family. Everyone knows him as Ralphie Cifaretto on
The Sopranos, or the traitor in
The Matrix, or Guido the Killer Pimp in

Written in a style that will be instantly familiar to Joey's numerous fans-tough, outspoken, but with a charming side, too- Who's Sorry Now is the fascinating story of one street-smart kid's convoluted journey from Hoboken to Hollywood.
