Forgiven: A Vinnie/Sonny Wiseguy Tribute

This is a tribute to Vinnie/Sonny from "Wiseguy". The song used is Within Temptation's "Forgiven". I do not own the rights to any of the items used in this video. Stephen J. Cannell and Frank Lupo created "Wiseguy".

When u look at it and how they bonded..Vinny always knew he had to bring sonny down..good always will outweigh bad..but it also comes with a price if u have a conscious..it will be the one betrayal Vinnie can never forget..because they bonded like brothers

I know a few people that has went thru this. Been on both sides of these worlds. It can break a person down don't matter what side their on

This was absolutely BEAUTIFUL...the captivating sorcery of the Vinnie / Sonny relationship was something seldom seen on the screen....and you captured some of the best moments. I loved the music, too, perfect. It is so sad that shortly after the end of the Wiseguy series, Ray Sharkey left us at such a young age. And around the same time, Ken Wahl's motorcycle accident ended his career at the very pinnacle. Its like they were both beautiful and doomed but their magic lives on, thirty-some years later. You have a real feel for this show, the people and the scenes. Very well done.

Look up the lyrics to this song. They are inexpressibly moving and very appropriate, being about the loss of someone beloved through suicide.

This is so moving 😢 I wish Sonny wasn't killed off ..

[@wolfieears1984]

Apparently a lot of the audience thought the same but Cannell was adamant the series had to move on. I personally think they should have extended this story in the middle and then ended with the same conclusion (if Sonny was indeed to go). That "bringing him back" in Vinnie's drug induced dreams (season 2 episode 12) didn't work in the least and effectively gave the lie to the closeness of their friendship.

This was so well done. Thanks for posting. Two amazing actors with on screen chemistry that is unmatched.

I have the series on dvd. My favorite tv show of all time. Vinny and Sonny had a relationship as even though Vinny was a cop. He stuck by what was right even though he was so close to Sonny.

So many years have passed and yet we are still deeply touched by this story. Great credit to Ken Wahl and the late, great Ray Sharkey. Ray Sharkey left us way too soon. May he rest in peace as we thank him for the great performances he left us, especially Sonny.

[@marinda3262]

@@theweirdturnprofessional9321Amen to that👌👌👌👌

[@marinda3262]

The best of the best.I always thought it was a mistake to let Sonny die. The chemistry between these 2 were superb. Sonny should just have gone to prison.A storyline to be continued

[@juxiantang]

Wow, it is really fabulous. And very touching! The song and the choice of scenes look very beautiful. So sad to see them two but Vinnie/Sonny is a perfect OTP :) Thank you so much for this vid!

Sim ...Pelomenos uma mudanca nesse final do episodio, deveria de ser mudada.Mesmo sendo um caso de policial verdadeiro.

[@marinda3262]

The people around Sonny didn’t trust Vinny.But Sonny did. Maybe it said something of his character after all. He knew in his heart Vinny was a good man
