Who'd Want To Whack Chris?

Michael Imperioli, who played mobster Chris Moltisanti on The Sopranos, owns a studio theater in Chelsea. Someone threw a explosive device in the direction of the studio theater, and it rolled back towards the street, damaging a van parked outside the studio. No one was hurt, but police are investigating the matter further.

It was either a pipe bomb or other similar device:

One official described the device as a small pipe bomb. Another source said the small explosive was meant to scare as opposed to cause significant damage or injuries.

Computer records indicate the ground floor of 257 West 29th Street is "Studio Dante", a company partly owned by 'Sopranos' actor Michael Imperioli. Law enforcement officials said they were looking into whether the actor still owns the studio. Investigators said they do not know the motive for the incident or if the building or anyone who lives or works there was a target.

Several officials said the explosion is not terror-related. No arrests have been made at this time.
