00:00So I wanted to next ask you about your new Hallmark movie that's coming out.

00:04February 22nd.

00:05What can you tell us about it?

00:07It's called Sisterhood Inc.

00:08and it stars Rachel Leigh Cook and Daniela Monet.

00:13And I've never did a Hallmark movie.

00:16I was offered one years ago.

00:18It was, believe it or not, a bucket list thing.

00:22I go, how many guys can go from The Sopranos to Hallmark?

00:26But I made the jump and I was very happy

00:28and I had a wonderful time and we shot it up in the Albany area.

00:32And it's a Valentine's Day kind of movie.

00:36And the cast is wonderful.

00:38And I really had a good time.

00:40I hope to hope to do more.

00:42I like I liked it.

00:43You know, very nice.

00:45No arguing, no killing, no, no nothing.

00:49Even on Blue Bloods, which I love.

00:51But, you know, I must have killed four or five people.

00:54I killed more people as a cop than I did as a mobster.

00:57Um, do you watch a lot of Hallmark movies yourself?

01:00I watched my share.

01:02I mean, I'm not glued to it, but yeah, I've watched.

01:05You know, listen, it's

01:08it's just a nice, you know, nice vibe.

01:10You know, sometimes you're not in a great mood.

01:12You don't want to watch anything heavy, you know.

01:15You know, if I want to watch bad stuff, you put the news on.

01:19Sometimes you just want to watch something nice.

01:23We're going to talk about your Fresh Pet ad,

01:25which unfortunately does not star Willie.

01:27But please tell us about how it came about.

01:30You know, they approached me.

01:32Willie's been eating Fresh Pet for two years, so it's kind of amazing

01:36when they called and they said, well, if I would like to do the ad and

01:41I read it and it's so funny and I kind of slipped.

01:45I've been playing a detective for the last nine years,

01:48but I slipped back into my old soprano esque ways, as we say.

01:54And this question was really, really funny.

01:56And I wanted to bring awareness to people.

02:00You know, the dogs eat different now.

02:03You know, it's better for your dogs to eat, you know, fresh meat

02:06and vegetables and fruits.

02:08And it's OK to have the dog food in the refrigerator like we do.

02:11And we've had for years, you know.

02:13So I wanted to kind of bring awareness that it's OK.

02:16No more kibble, no more canned food.

02:17None of that stuff. Good, fresh stuff.

02:20And they live a longer life, a happy life.

02:23Look at him. This guy's going to be six years old.

02:26He eats fresh bread. He can't wait to eat it.

02:28I mean, it's quite a bit.

02:30He starts. He eats at 5 p.m.

02:33He starts up at about 430 out of a dead sleep.

02:36Boom. Trying to eat, you know?

02:38Yeah. They always know exactly what their dinner time is.

02:41Yeah, it's it's amazing.
