It's safe to say that the late James Gandolfini wasn't messing around while filming his iconic Sopranos beatdown scene.

During an appearance on the Talking Sopranos podcast on Sunday, Robert Patrick — who played Davey Scatino — recalled his experience working alongside Gandolfini on the acclaimed HBO drama. Patrick, 62, said he "had never met Mr. Gandolfini" prior to getting "bitched slapped around" by him on-camera.
