Despite HBO insisting their was no alternate endings, many actors from the cast have at least admitted that other scenes were shot that didn’t make the final cut. “I was shocked by the ending,” Peter Bogdanovich, the nerdy film historian told the New York Observer. Bodanovich, who played Dr. Elliot Kupferberg, Tony’s therapist’s therapist said he had shot another scene in which he was comforting an exhausted and bereaved Dr. Melfi (Lorraine Bracco).
The brainy director, oftentimes more well-known for curating a friendship with Orson Welles than making his own films, said that the climax was very Chase-ian. “David has been consistent by doing everything with a vengeance he was not allowed to do on network television, so he gave you a very ambiguous ending. Which is not what the American audience is used to.” Or the mooks at the New York Post who are complaining every two fucking seconds.
