Jenny was the journalist who outed LaPaglia as an Aussie from Adelaide, not the American he purported to be. Prior to that, LaPaglia had been attending auditions pretending to be a New Yorker from Brooklyn. Regardless, Jenny and Anthony have continued to be great friends for over 30 years. In a very honest, open and rare chat, Anthony reveals how he missed on the role of Tony Soprano in the HBO blockbuster 'The Sopranos', how the TV show 'Without A Trace' ended up being a very unexpected hit with a very unexpected ending, and how hard work and good work has kept him grounded through the ups and downs of Hollywood.
