Goodfellas influenced The Sopranos
Added by Media Influence Map · 5 October 2026

David Chase has called Goodfellas his Koran. The show's ordinary, domestic, unglamorous gangsters come from Scorsese's film, and it cast more than two dozen of its actors, among them Lorraine Bracco, Michael Imperioli and Tony Sirico.
