'Sopranos' life imitates art

The Newsday reports:
Feeling in a charitable mood, most of us dismissed the first arrest four years ago as "coincidence" -- as in, "Hardy har har! What an amazing coincidence!" Then came the next arrest, and we added the word "bizarre" that time,as in "What a bizarre coincidence!" Then, there was the revelation of multiple felonies by one actor alone -- dozens, in fact.

"A truly amazing, bizarre coincidence!"

But when two actors on the same show are arrested a couple of days apart, it is time to drop the gape-mouthed Gomer Pyle "Shazam!" innocence and face the cold, brutal facts: Could everyone on "The Sopranos" be a potential felon?
Heh.
