'Sopranos' Actor Physically Removes Climate Protester From Show: VIDEO

Turns out Michael Imperioli might be a bit like his "Sopranos" character Christopher.

Imperioli starred on the legendary show about an organized crime outfit, and has had a lot of success in entertainment since the drama ended.

He's currently on Broadway doing "An Enemy of the People" with former "Succession" star Jeremy Strong. That's a hell of a one-two punch for a Broadway show.

Michael Imperioli removes climate protester from show.

However, some climate protesters decided to try to interrupt the Thursday show, and Imperioli wasn't having any of it. He physically removed a man like it was straight out of "Sopranos."

Watch the chaos unfold below, and hit me with your thoughts at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.

Who knew Michael Imperioli had a little bit of Christopher in his soul? You think Tony, Paulie, Bobby Baccelieri, Phil or any other character from the show would have tolerated being interrupted? Absolutely not.

There's a code to live by, and the "Sopranos" code demands respect. Interrupting a show people paid to be at is the definition of disrespect.

It's the ultimate sign you think you're more important than everyone else. That simply can't be tolerated. We all have a First Amendment right to free speech, but nobody has a right to go into a private venue and ruin everyone's evening.

Michael Imperioli gave them a few seconds to chill out, and then jumped into action in a fashion that would definitely put a smile on Tony Soprano's face.

Don't interrupt a show Imperioli is performing in or expect to pay a price. Let me know what you think at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.
