This was James Gandolfini's pet project before he passed away and HBO had passed on the project in 2012, but they picked it back up in honour of Gandolfini after his passing. You see his name in the credits. John Turturro is playing his role, but it was supposed to go to Robert De Niro due to scheduling conflict. Thank you "scheduling conflict". John took the role as he was a close friend of James and he wanted to play the role for his friend.
