Falcone (TV series)
Falcone is an American crime drama television series that ran for one season on CBS from April 4 until April 12, 2000. The story follows Joseph D. Pistone (Jason Gedrick), an FBI agent who goes undercover to bring down the American Mafia. The events depicted were based on a true story, which was also portrayed in the film Donnie Brasco, which was originally based on the autobiographical book Donnie Brasco: My Undercover Life in the Mafia by Joseph D. Pistone and Richard Woodley. Cast

Production
The series had been expected to air on CBS in fall 1999, but it was initially left off the 1999–2000 television schedule. The pilot episode had been screened for CBS executives a week after the Columbine High School massacre, and CBS Television president Les Moonves thought its violent content was inappropriate to air so soon after the massacre. The pilot was filmed in New York City, but after it was picked up for a series, the other eight episodes were filmed in Toronto for budgetary reasons. Episodes
