Anthony Borgese, best known for his role in the TV series, The Sopranos, was sentenced Wednesday to six months of house arrest for extortion.
He faced a sentence of three years behind bars after pleading guilty to enlisting Joseph Orlando, an associate of the Gambino crime family, to collect $5,000 for him. Orlando dispatched people who broke the jaw and ribs of the man the money came from. Borgese claimed that he did not know that someone would be brutalized.
