Gotti was a criminal, vile thug. Paul Sorvino is simply a blowhard. I know this. He once told me he was going to star at The Met in a production of “Rigoletto.” I’m still waiting for THAT to come off...

Well, that would be to his benefit in terms of playing the role of Gotti. Gotti was a braggart. Very outgoing and talkative. A showoff. Sorvino is comparatively low key. He comes across as a nice guy, at least in his films. He might have a difficult time trying to portray someone as mean-hearted and big-mouthed as Gotti. His character in Good Fellas, for example, was not a Gotti-type guy.
