Little Steven Says Goodbye to 'The Sopranos'

HBO's 'The Sopranos' was whacked into television history on the June 10 series finale. Little Steven Van Zandt's character, Silvio Dante, took a 50 Cent-worthy number of bullets from a rival New York mob hitman in the second-to-last episode, and in the controversial finale, Tony said his goodbyes to his comatose consigliere.

"I'm going to miss 'The Sopranos,'" he tells Spinner. "It's really been a wonderful meditation for me to be somebody else a couple of days a week. It's very, very rewarding that way."

Despite Van Zandt's love for the craft, the E Street guitarist -- who also hosts his own 'Little Steven's Underground Garage' Sirius radio show and owns his own Wicked Cool Records -- isn't looking to make acting a full-time pursuit. "If somebody comes to me with something, I certainly would consider it," he says. "But they're going to have to come to me. I don't have time to go knocking on doors."
