Joseph Gannascoli’s weight loss may have been a plotline on The Sopranos 20 years ago, but he’s still a work in progress.
Known to audiences as Vito Spatafore, the actor was a chef before becoming a TV star on The Sopranos. Gannascoli’s 150-pound weight loss — taking him from 400 pounds down to about 250 — was written into the hit HBO series. And while his weight has fluctuated in the nearly two decades that the show has been off the air, he’s buckling down once again.
