Steve Schirripa On The Set Of The Sopranos Places Please : Becoming A Jersey Boy

Steve Schirripa is best known for his roles as Bobby Baccalieri on The Sopranos and Detective Anthony Abetemarco on Blue Bloods. But before he was a successful actor, Schirripa was just a shy and awkward teenager growing up in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn.

In his new memoir, Places Please Becoming Jersey Boy, Schirripa chronicles his journey from a shy and awkward teenager to a successful actor. The book is a funny and moving account of growing up in a working-class Italian-American neighborhood, coming to terms with his sexuality, and finding his place in the world.

Schirripa's writing is honest and self-deprecating, and he doesn't shy away from sharing the difficult moments in his life. He writes about his struggles with weight, depression, and anxiety. He also writes about his experiences with homophobia and discrimination.

But despite the challenges he faced, Schirripa never gave up on his dreams. He eventually found his way to acting, and he has since become one of the most successful actors in Hollywood.

Places Please Becoming Jersey Boy is more than just a memoir. It is a story about perseverance, self-acceptance, and the power of dreams.

If you are a fan of The Sopranos or Blue Bloods, or if you are just interested in a good story about a working-class Italian-American kid who made it big, then you will love Places Please Becoming Jersey Boy.
