A Big Challenge
Tackling this story turn is a challenge Smith is looking forward to. “I’m excited about it,” he says. “For me, tapping into aggression or dominance is… I wouldn’t say is easy, but it is accessible.”
Yet, it is a big change from the nice good guy Sonny has always been. Smith sees the correlation between what’s happening to his character and what happened to Michael Corleone The Godfather.
“One of the first conversations that I had [when I came back to the show] was about Michael Corleone,” shares Smith. “I kind of new that was the direction we were going. I just didn’t know at what point it would actually happen. Now that it’s here, it’s been a lot of fun. And what’s airing right now is just the tip of the iceberg. It’s going to get crazy.”
A New Sonny
Viewers are going to get to see another side of Sonny in the months ahead; a side that has been lying dormant inside of him and is finally ready to surface.
“Yeah, definitely,” confirms Smith. “It’s almost like it gets away from him in a way. There’s kind of going to be a shift, in general, in the character. Sonny’s going to be in this place that he’s never really experienced before and he’s really going to run with it. He’s going to find out that he really kind of likes the power.”
