Series creator David Chase was a longtime fan of Steven Van Zandt's music, and had always wanted to write a role for him. When Chase saw Van Zandt induct The Rascals into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, he invited him to audition for Tony Soprano, even though he had never acted before. Van Zandt did not want to take a role away from a real actor, so Chase wrote the role of Silvio Dante for him. The Rascals' performance footage ended up being featured in season one, episode seven, "Down Neck".
