A huge thrill, Bernthal tells EW of the experience.

That series was everything for me.

It was in its heyday when I was just deciding to become an actor and studying acting.

Its my favorite show of all time.

I think hes such a beautiful kid and a beautiful actor.

Its iconic and I cant say how grateful I am to be a part of it.

I mean, its The Sopranos.

And the late-60s mob movie is the stuff of dreams.

Everyone was at the top of their game.

The only infuriating thing is how long we have to wait.
