Overview: Cut to the Chase has Alec asking David about his dreams and aspirations earlier in life, what his influences were, and what ultimately got him to do The Sopranos. Alec gets David to talk a bit about the advantages to doing a mob story through a television series, where he got his real life references from for the show, the nerves behind competing alongside Analyze This, and even a little bit of an argument that was stirred up amongst staff while writing the College episode in the first season.
