Robert Patrick Addresses “Sopranos” Fan Theory Linking Davey Scatino to Tony’s Fate

Hollywood, CA – Robert Patrick, the veteran actor best known for his roles in “Terminator 2” and “The Sopranos,” has weighed in on a popular fan theory surrounding his character, Davey Scatino, and the controversial ending of the iconic HBO series.

Patrick, who played the gambling-addicted high school friend of Tony Soprano, recently addressed speculation that Davey may have played a role in Tony’s potential assassination during the show’s ambiguous final scene. The theory suggests that Davey, driven by resentment over Tony exploiting his gambling addiction, might have orchestrated the hit.

Speaking to TV Insider while promoting his current series, “Tulsa King,” Patrick expressed intrigue at the theory. “I think that was interesting. Did that really get a lot of traction?” he asked. However, he clarified that he had no inside knowledge of the storyline. “David Chase [the show’s creator] is the only one that knows. I was never contacted about it. I don’t know. Was there a guy that might have looked like me, or people thought that it was me?”

While Patrick remained noncommittal, he expressed gratitude for the enduring interest in his “Sopranos” character. “I feel blessed that people would really still be thinking about my character at the end,” he said.

Patrick also shared a heartwarming anecdote about the late James Gandolfini, revealing the origin of a line in “Tulsa King” referencing “The Sopranos.” “How’s your balls, Manfredi?” Patrick asks Sylvester Stallone in one scene, a line that originated from Gandolfini during a scene where Tony Soprano assaulted Davey.

Fans eager to revisit the “Sopranos” universe can stream the series on HBO Max. Patrick’s current project, “Tulsa King,” is available on Paramount+.
