DiMeo crime family • Ercole "Eckley" DiMeo: a.k.a. "Old Man", is the founder and the longtime
boss of the
DiMeo crime family. He is an
unseen character in the series but is portrayed by the series creator
David Chase in
The Many Saints of Newark, in an uncredited cameo appearance. By the events of Season 1, he is boss in name only and never demonstrates any influence over the family due to being incarcerated since 1995, held at
United States Medical Center for Federal Prisoners in
Springfield, Missouri. • Richard "Dickie" Moltisanti: Former soldier in the Soprano crew who lived in
Paramus, New Jersey next to the
Westfield Garden State Plaza, "the largest mall in New Jersey" with his family. He is an unseen character in
The Sopranos. Born before 1959 (when Tony was born) and died in the mid-1970s, married to Joanne Moltisanti née Blundetto, father of Christopher and cousin to
Carmela Soprano. Hugh DeAngelis, Carmela's father, has a sister Lena who is Dickie's mother, thus making Hugh DeAngelis a great uncle to Christopher Moltisanti. Dickie was in the
U.S. Navy (as was Hugh) stationed at
Naval Weapons Station Earle and saw action in the naval battles of the
Vietnam War and later served time in prison, making it unlikely that he spent much time with his family when he was alive. It is suggested from his Navy photograph that he was in the
Fleet Marine Force. Dickie was killed during Christopher's infancy, outside the house while bringing TV trays home. In 2002, Tony Soprano told Christopher that Dickie's killer was
Clifton, New Jersey Detective Lt. Barry Haydu, who had just retired from the force. Tony delivered Haydu to Christopher Moltisanti as a part of his process of bonding Chris to him and slowly easing him up the family hierarchy. When confronted by Christopher, Haydu initially denies having heard of Dickie Moltisanti. Moltisanti is played by
Alessandro Nivola in the 2021 film
The Many Saints of Newark. In the film, Moltisanti and his crew fight with black criminal Harold McBrayer. In the early 1970s, Moltisanti is shot in the back of the head by an unknown assailant, under the orders of Junior Soprano after Moltisanti had laughed at Junior when he slipped and fell on the steps at a wake, angering him. •
Joseph Siravo (
The Sopranos),
Jon Bernthal (
The Many Saints of Newark) as John Francis "Johnny Boy" Soprano: he is
Tony Soprano's deceased father, the former captain of the Soprano crew. He was the youngest son of Corrado Soprano Sr. and Mariangela D'Agostino from
Ariano in the
Province of Avellino who immigrated to the United States in 1911; he was a master
stonemason who helped to build a church in
Newark, New Jersey. Johnny was married to
Livia Pollio and they had three children:
Janice,
Tony, and
Barbara. Johnny worked closely with his older brother
Corrado ("Junior") during Tony's childhood. Johnny was sent away to prison, for a short while when Tony was young, and the family members said Johnny Boy was in
Montana working as a cowboy. Johnny and Junior both went on to become
capos in the
DiMeo crime family. Johnny was well-liked in the organization – before his death, boss Ercoli "Eckley" DiMeo was thought to have been considering having Johnny take over. Sal "Big Pussy" Bonpensiero and Paulie Gualtieri were both in Johnny's crew. Bonpensiero stood up for Johnny in the unrest of '83, and Johnny's leadership led to Sal's becoming a
made man shortly afterward. Both Sal and Paulie followed Johnny's wishes and supported Tony's becoming capo after Johnny's death of
emphysema. Johnny took Tony and his friend Silvio Dante under his wing and brought them up in the organization as part of his crew. Johnny was only seen in flashbacks to Tony's childhood or in Tony's dream sequences. In 1969, Tony witnessed Johnny cut off Francis Satriale's pinky finger while Junior held him in place; Satriale owed gambling debts and was avoiding giving Johnny payment. This event contributed to Tony's first panic attack at the kitchen table that evening. Tony also saw his father and Junior attack Rocco Alatore over a debt, then recalled his father's discussing a possible move to
Reno, Nevada in 1967 to manage a
supper club for Alatore (who was restored to good terms with Johnny since the debt was repaid) and his mother's refusing, which move Livia would later sweep under the rug when Mr. Alatore later became a billionaire with his investments. It is revealed in the episode "
A Hit Is a Hit" that Johnny was a silent partner in
Hesh Rabkin's record company "F-Note Records". Tony also witnessed Johnny plotting a scheme in 1967 at a children's carnival by bringing Janice along. Tony had originally thought his father favored Janice over him but later learned the truth: that mobsters brought their daughters to their meetings as a ruse. When Janice recalled the time Johnny shot through Livia's beehive hairdo while they were driving home, Tony thought the anecdote was shameful and made their family look "dysfunctional". Tony described his mother's relationship with his father as wearing Johnny down to "a little nub"; for her part, Livia tearfully remembers Johnny as "a saint" several times. Johnny kept a mistress named Fran Felstein, whom he had met during Tony's childhood. In 1976, when Tony was 16, Johnny stayed all night at her home when his pregnant wife was in the hospital. The next morning Johnny and Tony went to the hospital, and Tony lied to his mother saying they went to a New York Yankees baseball game and stayed in New York. Livia saw through Johnny's lie and lost the baby due to bleeding. In September 1982, when his son Tony was 22 years old, and just two weeks before the birth of his granddaughter
Meadow, Johnny ordered his son to murder a local bookie: Willie Overall. This was Tony's first murder, and it helped hasten his climb toward becoming a made man. Johnny died of emphysema in late 1986, aged 62. Not long before his death, he saw the incarceration of many of his fellow mobsters due to Fabian "Febby" Petrulio's becoming a government witness. Johnny never recovered from the news of Febby's betrayal, and it may have hastened his demise. • Ercole "Eckley" Soprano was an unseen character. Ercole was
Tony Soprano's late uncle, the middle son of Corrado Sr. and Mariangela D'Agostino, and brother of Junior and Johnny. He was born between 1924 and 1928 in
East Orange, New Jersey. Tony never met him and finds out about his existence from Junior in "The Happy Wanderer". Junior Soprano tells Tony that he and Johnny Soprano started the high-stakes $5,000-buy in "executive"
five-card stud poker card game over 30 years before 1999, to help financially support Ercole. The executive game brought in big-time players like
David Lee Roth and
Frank Sinatra Jr.. Ercole had an
intellectual disability and
developmental disability and was placed in a state-run
assisted living facility early in his life by his mother. The family concealed Ercole's existence because of the stigma at the time of having a mentally handicapped child. In "Do Not Resuscitate", while Junior is trying to feign mental incompetence during his RICO trial, he remembers how people in the neighborhood used to mock and make fun of Ercole; according to Junior Ercole was "strong as a bull" and looked like
George Raft. In the episode "House Arrest" after Livia finds out about Tony seeing a psychiatrist, she mentions to Junior that Tony might be on his way to be institutionalized at
Essex County Hospital Center "(Cedar Grove Mental Hospital)" in
Cedar Grove, New Jersey. Junior explains that society did not understand these things back then and nowadays they would have enrolled him in a
trade school, but praises his mother for making sure Ercole was taken care of at a home in
North Jersey. Junior also boasts to Tony that Johnny paid for his care with their criminal proceeds. Tony recalls that in his youth he would overhear his mother Livia at times mentioning a "
feeble-minded brother" when arguing with her husband Johnny Boy (Tony's father), but at the time Tony had always assumed his mother was referring to Junior Soprano. Ercole reportedly died around 1985, shortly before Johnny Boy's demise. • George Loros as Raymond "Buffalo Ray" Curto: he was a
capo in the
DiMeo crime family. A capo in the DiMeo/Soprano crime family before Season 1, Curto is approached by fellow capo
Tony Soprano and asked to replace
Jackie Aprile Sr. as boss of the
DiMeo Crime Family, due to his age and experience, as Jackie is dying of cancer in the hospital. Curto declines, and insists, along with the other capos, that Tony should take over instead, fearing Tony's uncle and fellow capo
Corrado "Junior" Soprano would step up as the new boss. However, Curto is also an FBI informant, as revealed in the episode, "
Proshai, Livushka". It has never been disclosed when or why he became an informant, although he is briefly seen in the episode "
Nobody Knows Anything" being busted at a brothel along with Detective
Vin Makazian. In 2006, Curto unexpectedly dies of a
stroke in his FBI handler's car. Curto was handled by both Agent Robyn Sanseverino and Agent Frank Grasso. •
Anthony DeSando as Brendan Filone: he was
Christopher Moltisanti's friend and partner in crime and a low-level associate of
Tony Soprano. Brendan was addicted to
crystal meth, and often used it with Chris. In the episode "
46 Long", Brendan and Chris hijacked a
Harrison, New Jersey Comley Trucking truck and stole a number of DVD players. Comley Trucking was under the protection of
Junior Soprano, who demanded restitution. At a sit-down, Junior tells Tony to keep Brendan and Christopher's "loose cannon" behavior under control. In a nightclub, Brendan tries his best to convince Chris to defy Tony and Uncle Junior since both Chris and Brendan were getting nowhere by following the rules. Early the next morning, Brendan urges Chris to get ready for the next heist, a truckload of high-end Italian suits. Christopher tells him that he has decided that he would not participate. Brendan, this time without Christopher, hijacks another Comley truck with two others. In the process, the driver of the truck is accidentally shot and killed by a ricochet bullet when one of Brendan's men drops his gun. Tony is angry when he learns about the hijacking and orders Chris and Brendan to return the truck to Comley. However, Junior is not satisfied. Junior's trigger man Mikey Palmice and sister-in-law
Livia Soprano, both give Junior advice on the matter. Junior orders that Chris undergo a
mock execution and that Brendan be killed. Brendan is killed while in his bathtub by Mikey, while Junior waits outside in the hall. In the aftermath, Chris and his girlfriend
Adriana La Cerva find Brendan's body in his bathtub, and Chris calls for harsh retaliation against Mikey. Tony decides to confront his uncle and Mikey over their severe punishment by beating Mikey to the ground and stapling his jacket to his torso. He then goes to have a sit-down with Junior for his orders. Later, in retaliation for the attempted hit on Tony, Mikey is killed in the woods after Chris and
Paulie Gualtieri chase him down while he is jogging. In Season 2, after Chris is shot by Sean Gismonte and Matthew Bevilaqua, he has a near-death experience in the hospital where he goes to say he went to Hell and explains that he saw Brendan and Mikey playing cards with a bunch of Roman soldiers and Irishmen. Chris also mentions that Brendan and Mikey are friends in Hell. Hearing this, Paulie becomes obsessed with his own fears of ghosts. •
Tony Darrow as Lorenzo "Larry Boy" Barese: he is the
caporegime of his own crew which is the biggest in the DiMeo crime family. Larry's cousin, Albert "Ally Boy" Barese, is his second-in-command. Larry is also the godfather of Soprano associate Benny Fazio. In the Season 1 episode "
Pax Soprana", Larry, along with Jimmy Altieri and Raymond Curto, met with Tony after Junior had Mikey Palmice murder Larry's top earner, Rusty Irish, for selling ecstasy to the grandson of one of Junior's friends; the grandson committed suicide while high. Larry and the other capos considered this to be a sign of Junior abusing his power as boss. Larry found out from an FBI secretary that an indictment was going to be issued against the crime family in the
New Jersey Superior Court. Soon after, along with Junior and
underboss Joseph "Beppy" Sasso, he was arrested and charged with violations of
racketeering and
fraud and sent to
Green Haven Correctional Facility in
Beekman, New York. While being held without bail in prison, Larry promoted his cousin Albert Barese to acting caporegime of his crew. Three years after the indictments, Larry was released following a mistrial and put under
house arrest. However, he took control of his crew back from his cousin. At the premiere of the fictional slasher film
Cleaver that
Christopher Moltisanti had produced, Larry was arrested by federal marshals for violating his house arrest. It is strongly suggested that Larry was working with the FBI by the end of the series, which ends with him in jail awaiting a retrial. •
Val Bisoglio as Murf Lupo: Elderly soldier and former capo of Junior Soprano's old crew, who is starting to mumble and show signs of
dysarthria when talking and is starting to show the early signs of dementia that worries Junior. Junior also notices that he is starting to look unkempt, with food on the front of his shirt when he goes out and he goes to bed early. •
Dan Grimaldi as Phillip "Philly Spoons" Parisi: Phillip is a soldier/acting capo of Junior's crew and
Patsy Parisi's
identical twin brother, born March 4, 1950, eleven minutes after Patsy in
Bloomfield, New Jersey. He was killed on Tony's orders by Gigi Cestone in retaliation for spreading rumors about Tony, shortly after the conflict between him and Junior. In a deleted scene from Season 2, it is revealed that Philly Parisi is both Junior's godson and Tony's maternal cousin. • Louis Gross as Perry Annunziata: also known as "Muscles Marinara," is from
Bloomfield, New Jersey He serves as a bodyguard and
chauffeur for
Tony Soprano during his recovery from a gunshot in 2006. Tony calls him "Penne Arrabiata" (as in the pasta dish
penne all'arrabbiata), on account of his road rage (Italian:
arrabbiato) towards a rude driver while driving Tony. •
Vitali Baganov as Valery: Valery was a "Bratok" in the
Russian mob, acquainted with
Tony Soprano through his business association with the organization. Valery's friend and boss Slava Malevsky revealed to Tony that they served together in the
Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation where he worked with the
Russian Airborne Troops during the
First Chechen War in
Chechnya. Valery had personally killed 16
Chechen Republic of Ichkeria rebels, saving Slava's life in the process. In "
Pine Barrens",
Paulie Walnuts and
Christopher Moltisanti visited Valery at his apartment to collect payment. Valery readily handed over the envelope of money, but Paulie responded to a perceived slight by being intentionally careless with Valery's entertainment system. In the ensuing brawl, Christopher and Paulie believed they had killed Valery. They drove out to the
Pine Barrens to dispose of him, but when they arrive, find him alive. They marched him into the snow to dig his own grave, but he attacked Paulie and Christopher with the shovel and ran. Christopher and Paulie gave chase, firing as they ran. Paulie seemingly hit Valery in the head, leaving a trail of blood. The two men continued looking for him but eventually gave up, and realized they were lost in the wilderness in the middle of winter. Chris and Paulie then spent a miserable night in an abandoned van in the Pine Barrens. On rescuing the pair, Tony made it clear that if Valery makes it back to North Jersey alive, it would be Paulie who would have to deal with Slava, not him. Valery's fate after this point is unclear; Valery's body was never found, and Paulie's car was stolen from the remote location where it was parked in the wilderness. An HBO promo shows notable characters who have been murdered over the course of the series and does show Valery as having died in this episode, but with a question mark, indicating some doubt. David Chase said in an interview at the Writers' Guild: •
Maria Grazia Cucinotta as Isabella: Appears in "
Isabella" as a figment of Tony Soprano's imagination. Soprano sees a beautiful Italian woman in the Cusamanos' garden next door. Isabella tells him she is a foreign exchange dental student from Avellino, staying there while the Cusamanos are away. He takes her out to lunch. As she describes the beauty of Avellino, where Tony's grandfather came from, he has a drug-induced daydream from the
lithium medication he is taking. Isabella is in a village house, in a rocking chair, nursing a baby named Antonio. Then Isabella is no longer there. When the Cusamanos return and he asks about her, Tony realizes she never existed: it was a delusion. Dr. Melfi instructs him to cease taking lithium and theorizes that Isabella was an idealized maternal figure. •
Sofia Milos as Annalisa Zucca: Daughter of Zi Vittorio, head of a Neapolitan
Camorra family in Italy. She is also married to the acting
Camorra boss, Mauro Zucca, who is currently serving a life sentence, and a distant cousin of Tony Soprano. When Tony took over Junior's luxury car hijacking business, he went to visit "Zi" (Uncle) Vittorio in Naples to discuss the parameters of their arrangement. When he finally meets Zi Vittorio, Tony finds out that he is a senile old man who is unable to walk, and that it is Annalisa who runs the organization now. Tony finds this hard to accept at first, but eventually works out a deal with Annalisa—he would cut the price of the cars he supplies to Naples, in exchange for her to supply him with members of her organization. This resulted in
Furio Giunta being sent to the United States, and later, in Season 6, Tony being supplied with the hitmen to take care of the hit on Rusty Millio, and Philip "Phil" Leotardo. •
Chris Tardio as Sean Gismonte, an associate of the
DiMeo crime family from
West Orange, New Jersey in
Essex County, New Jersey. He was Matthew Bevilaqua's partner in crime and an associate in the Gualtieri crew in 2000. He was born and raised in
Hoboken, New Jersey. Sean was convicted of an undisclosed crime and had spent time in
county jail and it is implied that, unlike Matt, Sean has worked
pump and dump stock broker scheme before. It is suggested that he attended
Lubin School of Business at
Pace University with Matt but wanted to pursue a life in crime, considering themselves more intelligent but underappreciated considering their skill set by Chris. Sean and Matt worked with Christopher at various aspects of organized crime, including the Massarone Construction site, an
over-the-counter brokerage house in
Bayonne, New Jersey that was responsible for implementing a
pump and dump scheme focused on the website Webistics,
Junior Soprano's executive card game held in a hotel by
Newark Liberty International Airport, and some burglary jobs with Matthew and Chris. He was reprimanded for beating a stockbroker and stealing a
Porsche Carrera from the parking lot of where the stock brokerage is. Looking to move up in the ranks, Sean and Matt attempted a hit on Christopher as an attempt to win favor from
Richie Aprile. The hit was botched and Sean was killed by Christopher in the ensuing gun battle. •
Frank Albanese as Patrizio "Uncle Pat" Blundetto: a former soldier in the Soprano crew who worked alongside Johnny Boy Soprano. Chris compares his ruthlessness to
Jake LaMotta. Unlike many of his contemporaries, he was able to retire from "the business". Pat is the uncle of Tony Blundetto and Chris Moltisanti, and the father of Louise Blundetto. Tony Soprano calls him Uncle Pat but they are not blood relatives. Pat's brother Al Blundetto married Quintina Pollio,
Livia Soprano's sister. Pat owns a farm at
New York State Route 146, Route 9a,
Kinderhook, Upstate New York that his nephews used to visit in the summers of their youth. In the episode "
All Due Respect", Tony Blundetto hides out at Pat's now empty farmhouse from the Lupertazzis after shooting Phil Leotardo's brother
Billy Leotardo. •
Edoardo Ballerini as Corky Caporale: an associate of
Christopher Moltisanti and a heroin addict. Christopher enlisted him to accommodate the Italian hitmen provided to Tony for the hit on
Rusty Millio. Corky was chosen primarily because he speaks Italian and would therefore be able to communicate effectively with the hitmen. Christopher paid him for the job with heroin. Corky performed well, delivering weapons and instructions at a remote spot without revealing much about himself, and the hit went smoothly. Christopher delivered the second half of Corky's payment at the Feast of St. Elzear and included more heroin as a substitute for some of the money. Corky injected the drug in Christopher's car, which initially prompted Christopher to encourage him to get into rehab. However, Christopher was eventually tempted into joining him. In the series
penultimate episode "
The Blue Comet" in 2007, which takes place after Christopher's death, the Soprano Family again uses Corky, this time through
Patsy Parisi. The target this time was
Phil Leotardo. Fluent in Italian, Corky assigned Neapolitan hitmen, Italo and Salvatore to the Leotardo hit, but it was botched when they mistook the father of Leotardo's Ukrainian mistress for Leotardo and killed him and his daughter instead. When Corky heard from the hitmen that the man spoke Ukrainian to his daughter, he mumbled "whatever." However, he did ask Patsy Parisi if Phil spoke Ukrainian. •
Tony Siragusa as Frankie Cortese: he served as a driver and bodyguard for Tony as a soldier of the Soprano crime family in 2004. • Jeffrey M. Marchetti as Peter "Bissell" LaRosa. Bissell, also known as Petey, was part of the group Little Paulie took to vandalize Carmine Lupertazzi's restaurant in the HUD dispute.

AA sponsor of
Christopher Moltisanti. Murmur made Christopher's rounds while Christopher was in Los Angeles, California – buying credit card numbers from Beansie Gaeta's pizzeria and from Hillel Teittleman at the Teittleman's Fly Away Motel, then selling the numbers to Mohammed and Ahmed at the Bada Bing. Murmur also went out to LA to meet Christopher because Christopher was "chipping" (relapsing). While there, Murmur and Christopher tried to intimidate
Ben Kingsley and robbed
Lauren Bacall of a gift basket she received at an awards ceremony. Murmur later attended Christopher's belated bachelor party at Nuovo Vesuvio and continued to hang out with the crew at Satriale's. Murmur was skeptical of the benefits of Christopher's relationship with fellow addict
Julianna Skiff, warning Christopher that it could be
enabling as
codependency (to relapse into substance abuse), and of the possibility of Tony finding out about his recent slip at the Feast of
St. Elzear. He was also responsible for informing Tony that
Phil Leotardo had a heart attack – Tony had warmed to him a little by this point and rewarded him with a club soda. In 2007, in the episode "
The Blue Comet", Murmur (unknowingly) informed Paulie and Silvio, by showing them a newspaper article on the murders of two civilians, that Phil Leotardo was still alive and the job to kill him failed because the hitmen had misidentified their target. • John Cenatiempo as Anthony "Tony Black" Maffei: a soldier in
Bobby Baccalieri's crew. Alongside his captain, he collected proceeds from John Stefano's (Joey Perillo) illegal asbestos-dumping
asbestos abatement operation in

freon disposal and
refrigerant reclamation deal. Former
made man in the
Junior Soprano crew, defected to
Tony Soprano's crew in 2000 after he murdered Philly Parisi (the acting capo of Junior's crew while Junior was incarcerated). The hit was ordered by Tony as revenge for Philly spreading rumors about Tony's mother with regard to Tony and Junior's feud. Gigi was quickly made part of the inner circle of Tony's crew unlike fellow new member
Patsy Parisi. Gigi made a final transition in the fall of 2000 when he was promoted to the position of capo over the Aprile crew, following
Richie Aprile's "disappearance" making him the only
made man in the
DiMeo crime family to serve in three different crews.
Ralph Cifaretto was angered as he had hoped to receive the promotion himself. Gigi died in the episode "
He Is Risen", after he had a fatal heart attack while constipated on the toilet in his social club. Ralph was subsequently made the captain of the Aprile crew. •
Paul Herman as Peter "Beansie" Gaeta: a former associate of
Richie Aprile from
Elizabethtown, New Jersey, supervising a drug operation in New Jersey for him. Upon Richie's release from prison, he tracked down Gaeta at his pizza parlor and demanded payment that he allegedly still owed to him. His pizzerias are used by the DiMeo crime family for
money laundering. After Gaeta denied the validity of the debt, Richie broke a coffee pot over Beansie's head, beat him, and later ran him over with his car, rendering Beansie hospitalized and
paraplegic from his injuries (in "
Toodle Fucking-Oo"). After this, Beansie began using a wheelchair and moved to
Miami Beach, Florida. •

Jackie Aprile Jr. and partner in crime and an associate in Ralph Cifaretto's crew. He was a classmate of Jackie Jr. at
Rutgers University. It was his idea to extort protection money from a coffee house at Rutgers and rob the
Jewel concert being held at the university, but he was arrested for drug possession and in jail when the robbery was actually pulled. Jackie Jr. and Carlo Renzi feel that Ralph Cifaretto is holding them back from their full potential. He looks up in admiration to
Christopher Moltisanti who was at that point in time a rising figure in the
DiMeo crime family. He was involved in Jackie Jr.'s scheme to rob Eugene Pontecorvo's low-stakes card game to make names for themselves and gain the respect of the higher-level mobsters. They team up with Carlo Renzi, who wields a heavy shotgun. Things do not go their way when "Sunshine" the card dealer gets whacked during the robbery, triggering a barrage of gunshots from both sides. This scuffle leaves Carlo dead and Furio wounded. Dino and Jackie Jr. run for the street, but their getaway wheelman, Matush, had fled out of fear after hearing the gunshots. Jackie boosts an oncoming car and quickly speeds out of the area, leaving Dino to face an angry Christopher Moltisanti and Albert Barese. Dino tries to save himself by mentioning he's with Ralph, but that does not help. Chris and Albert promptly shoot Dino in the face, killing him. • Richard Maldone as Albert "Ally Boy" Barese: a paternal cousin of
Larry Boy Barese, acting capo of the Barese crew when Larry Boy was in jail, and soldier in the Barese crew. Larry is involved in
price-fixing and
bid rigging of waste hauling contracts in New Jersey and New York. In a discussion with Richie Aprile and Tony, Tony says that all the garbage collection routes north of
Paterson, New Jersey belong to Barone Sanitation while Larry Boy Barese and his firm Sani-Cruiser and the D'Allessio brothers divide up the rest. The crew's contest for the routes continued as Albert was briefly involved in a "garbage war" with Ralph Cifaretto who claimed to be a "capo" of his own crew. Larry burned two of Ralph Cifaretto's dumpsters and Ralph torched one of Larry's
garbage trucks in
West Side, Newark, New Jersey. •

Silvio Dante. In the final episode, Benny Fazio and Belfiore locate
Phil Leotardo and Belfiore shoots Phil in the head and chest before making a getaway with Fazio. • Ron Castellano as Terrence "Terry" Doria: a soldier of
Carlo Gervasi's crew. It has been speculated that it was Doria who informed the
Lupertazzi family of the whereabouts of
Vito Spatafore, resulting in Vito's murder. Doria had just borrowed $20,000 from Vito, which due to Vito's death meant he would not have to repay. • Artie Pasquale as Burt Gervasi: a younger paternal cousin to
Carlo Gervasi and uncle to Carlo's sons Jason and Justin Gervasi. Burt was made a formal member of the Soprano crime family in 2006, at the same time as
Phil Leotardo's soldier
Gerry Torciano was made a capo in the Lupertazzi family. He lives with his wife Lorraine and toy terrier Spencer. He and Patsy Parisi run the North Ward Emergency Merchants Protective Cooperative: an extortion racket hitting storeowners in New Jersey. As revealed in the episode "
The Blue Comet", according to
Silvio Dante, Burt was eventually swayed to take the side of the Lupertazzi Family and went to Silvio to convince him to go along in a coup d'état, but Silvio instead responded by
garroting him to death in his home the next day. •
Robert Desiderio as "Black" Jack Massarone: he is the owner of Massarone Brothers Construction in
Fairfield, New Jersey. In 2004, Jack had become a federal informant and wore a wire concealed in a baseball cap to several meetings with Tony. In a discussion between Frank Cubitoso and the District Attorney at FBI headquarters, it is said that Massarone is offering information on the stolen airline tickets case involving Livia Soprano in 2002, the jury-tampering investigation of Junior Soprano's RICO trial, and the Matthew Bevilaqua murder in 2000. But the D.A. tells Cubitoso that even if Massarone and a hundred other snitches were called to testify against Tony Soprano it would not be enough to convict him in a trial. Tony realized something was off when he was tipped off by Patsy Parisi that the FBI had staked out one of his meetings with Massarone at the "Neapolitan Diner" in Fairfield, New Jersey. Raising Tony's suspicions further was the fact that Massarone gave him a framed picture of the
Rat Pack at that meeting, and later asked him if he had lost weight. Jack was murdered and found in the trunk of his car with a golf club cover stuffed in his mouth. •
Sig Libowitz as Hillel Teittleman: a

Muslim associates of
Christopher Moltisanti from
Brooklyn, New York. They are frequent customers at the
Bada Bing!. They steal money via the Internet with acquired credit card information from customers of various businesses, as per the scam of Christopher and "Murmur". They later seek help from Christopher in purchasing
TEC-9 semi-automatic pistols, which they claim they need "for a family matter". In the episode "
Walk Like a Man", Tony passed their names and Ahmed's cell phone number to the FBI. The FBI agents do not recognize them at first, but later tell Tony they may be involved in
terrorism financing. In the series finale "
Made in America", Tony passes details of their Mitner First Merchants' Bank to Agent Harris hoping to gain information on Phil Leotardo's location in return. •
Nick Tarabay as Matush: an
ecstasy dealer who has had some association with the Soprano/DiMeo business over the years. He was often found in and around the
West Long Branch, New Jersey alternative rock Crazy Horse nightclub owned by Adriana LaCerva, and initially, Furio and Chris were hostile to him and threw him off the premises. With the reassurance of Jackie Jr., he returned to dealing outside the club and was put in the hospital by Furio, in traction with his jaw wired shut. Chris did not want Matush dealing inside The Crazy Horse because ecstasy was a class A narcotic and would bring the attention of drug task forces. Matush was later recruited as a driver in Jackie Junior's failed robbery of a card game in 2001. He bolted with the car as soon as the robbery went awry, leaving Dino Zerilli to be caught and killed and forcing Jackie Jr. to improvise his own escape. In 2004, Matush had returned to dealing at the Crazy Horse – Adriana's drug habit and Furio's disappearance made the club more welcoming. He murdered an upset customer, named Gilbert Nieves, in Adriana's office, and forced her to help him dispose of the body. Another dealer, Kamal, was also involved. This was recorded by FBI surveillance outside and was instrumental in Adriana's attempt to flip Christopher which resulted in her death. •
Gregory Alan Williams as Reverend Herman James Jr.: he is from
Newark, New Jersey and his heritage can be traced back to
the Confederacy, when his grandfather was a slave on a plantation. His father was
WWII veteran and a
United Association plumber and belonged to the same union as the one they were extorting. Herman arranged a secret deal with Tony, assisting in a shakedown of a Massarone Brothers construction and real estate development company: James organized a group of
African-American union plumbers to argue about being paid low wages because of perceived racial
employment discrimination by Black Jack Massarone at a job site. The Soprano associates Sean Gismonte, Matt Bevilaqua and Bobby Baccalieri Jr. then attacked with baseball bats, adding drama to the protest and causing a riot. James and Soprano then split the earnings. He is a friend of Assemblyman Ronald Zellman. •
Richard Portnow as Harold Melvoin: he is
Junior Soprano's lawyer from 1999 to 2004. Following Junior's arrest on Federal Racketeering charges, Mel allows him to use his office to conduct business as it is one of the few places he is allowed to visit while under house arrest. He allows Junior and Tony to use his office to meet with
Angelo Garepe and
Lorraine Calluzzo. It is also one of the places that the FBI is not allowed to wiretap. He conducts Junior's defense throughout his first RICO trial and helps Junior with such schemes as hiring an
audio engineer expert witness and
sound engineer minimization expert to dispute what is recorded on the tapes from Green Grove Retirement Home, getting him released from house arrest so he can attend several funerals including Jackie Aprile Sr.,
Jackie Aprile Jr.,
Bobby Baccalieri Sr.,
Karen Baccalieri and Febby DeAngelis, exaggerating about a
benign malignant growth on Junior's body to get him a
compassionate release and pretending that a (presumably) minor head injury from being hit by a
boom microphone and falling on the
Mitchell H. Cohen United States Courthouse steps in
Camden, New Jersey has affected his
cognitive ability to stand trial. Hal charges Junior $1,000,000 for his RICO trial. Following his stroke, it is predicted that it will be nine months to a year before he will be able to work a full schedule again and that they will have to postpone Junior's trial. After having a stroke that affects his ability to speak, Melvoin is fired by Junior, who considers his attorney's weakened condition a reminder of his own mortality. •
David Margulies as Neil Mink: he is Tony Soprano's lawyer. He advises Tony to stay off the street and distance himself from the day-to-day work of his crew – this contributes to Tony's insulating himself by communicating through closely trusted friends whenever possible. He also advises Tony to spend more time in his legitimate businesses, such as Barone Sanitation, instead of the Bada Bing. When Janice Soprano attacks another soccer mom at Sophia Baccalieri's soccer game in
Essex County, New Jersey at Summit Avenue Park in
The Palisades, Janice wants to sue the Essex County Sheriff's Office for
wrongful arrest. But Tony demands that Janice see Neil and plea the charges down so as to not increase media attention and not make it a
cause célèbre. In the final episode, "
Made in America", Mink informs Tony that the government most likely will indict him on federal weapons charges stemming from the arrest made in "
Soprano Home Movies" at the beginning of the season, and it is strongly implied that he could consequently be facing a prison sentence for
Criminal possession of a weapon. He also says that the
Essex County Prosecutor's Office has a witness testifying for a
grand jury, but whose identity is unknown, although it is believed to be
Carlo Gervasi. •
Peter Riegert as Ronald Zellman: an Assemblyman (member of the lower
house of the
state legislature) for the East Ward consisting of
Four Corners (Newark),
Five Corners, Newark,
Gateway Center (Newark) and
The Ironbound and acted as a political operative on behalf of the Soprano crime family. He aided them in securing the Esplanade
gentrification construction contract and the mixed commercial real estate and condominium development at
Pennsylvania Station (Newark) that was developed by Black Jack Massarone. Zellman was a friend of the Reverend Herman James Jr. and helped Tony set up the HUD scam by introducing him to Maurice Tiffen, a friend of Zellman's from his days at the
University of Michigan. His influence later allowed A.J. to be released from police custody, with no charges filed, following his failed attempt to kill his great-uncle Junior, in the Wyckoff Rehabilitation Clinic in
Wyckoff, New Jersey.
Lupertazzi crime family •
Patti D'Arbanville as Lorraine Calluzzo: an associate of the Lupertazzi crime family, known as "the lady
shylock." During the infighting following boss
Carmine Lupertazzi's death in 2004, Lorraine
kicked up to
Little Carmine, who was also reportedly her
lover as well as her
second cousin.
Phil Leotardo roughed her up and even shot at her (using a telephone directory to stop the bullet) during a shakedown, warning her to stop cutting in Little Carmine. Lorraine sought a sit down with
Tony Soprano through
Angelo Garepe to ask him to intercede in the Lupertazzi infighting. During a sit-down, Christopher suggests that John ask for a share of Little Carmine's nightclub businesses in
South Beach,
Miami and let him keep Lorraine under his crew, something John turns down saying if he wanted Little Carmine's businesses he'd move to Miami. Tony suggests that John Sacrimoni, Angelo Garepe, and Little Carmine operate the family under a
triumvirate to help keep the peace with Lorraine because Carmine Sr. did not name a successor. Lorraine and her lover are eventually murdered at her home by Phil, his brother William "Billy" Leotardo, and associate Joseph "Joey Peeps" Peparelli. • Michael DeNigris as Charles "Chucky" Cinelli: he is the owner of Cinelli Sanitation – the Lupertazzi crime family's waste management front in
Jamaica, Queens where John Sacramoni works. He was involved in a dispute with Jason Barone over
Newark, New Jersey–based Barone Sanitation following the death of Dick Barone in 2006 which ended with his buying the company and merging. While going over the payroll he finds discrepancies with consultant Tony Soprano, Paulie Gualtieri, and Johnny Sack, but is told to mind his own business by a savvy employee who is in the know. Cinelli agrees (as dictated to by John Sacrimoni) to keep Tony Soprano employed until 2009 (this is later extended to 2015) as a waste management consultant and to keep his
health insurance package and
Form W-2, plus 5% (later increased to 12%) of Barone Sanitation sale price, in exchange to give up his share of skimming profits ($2,000 a month), and that Cinelli leases him a new car. A Barone Sanitation employee is badly beaten by mob-associated Cinelli Sanitation workers over the dispute. John Sacrimoni is on the payroll as a waste management consultant at Cinelli Sanitation, even after his incarceration. Jason tries to convince Charles to compensate Tony Soprano and Paulie Gualtieri in the sale of Barone Sanitation, something that Cinelli is adamant against, telling Jason it could come out of his end. Jason tells Chuckie that he wants to redefine the deal and open up the sale to other potential buyers. • Armen Garo as Salvatore "Coco" Cogliano: he is a soldier in the
Lupertazzi crime family. While inebriated from drinking
Sambuca with Albie Cianflone, he makes aggressively lewd remarks to
Meadow Soprano while she is on a dinner date with
Patrick Parisi (son of Patsy Parisi) in
Little Italy, Manhattan. Shortly after the date, when Meadow tells Tony of the incident and he brushes it off as
public intoxication,
Tony Soprano severely
pistol-whips and
curb-stomps Coco in his restaurant, knocking his teeth out in the presence of Butch DeConcini. This leads
Phil Leotardo to shut down a
Hackensack, New Jersey shopping mall construction site with a
United Association plumber's strike, for which Carmine Lupertazzi Jr. has the
scaffolding contract. Carmine Jr. says that in attacking Coco he was being prudent. Carmine Jr. brokers a meeting with Butch DeConcini and Phil and offers Phil a pallet of
Makita drills as a peace offering over the attack on Coco. Phil mentions the attack on Salvatore, the
forced disappearance and murder of Dominick Gamiello in "Cold Stones" and the murder of his brother Billy Leotardo in "Long Term Parking" as a reason to murder the entire upper management of the DiMeo crime family. Butchie says that "Coco" is an okay guy which suggests that he has good standing in the Lupertazzi crime family, but Tony suggests that, possibly, he is a borderline alcoholic. His name could have been taken from former
Lucchese crime family underboss and acting boss,
Ettore ("Eddie") Coco, who served under
Carmine Tramunti. • Dominic Chianese Jr. as Dominic: he is a member of the Lupertazzi crime family. • Frank Fortunato as Jason Evanina: he is a partner of Lorraine Calluzzo. During the infighting following boss Carmine Lupertazzi's death, Lorraine kicked up to Little Carmine. When Lorraine does not comply with Phil Leotardo's orders, Phil returns with Billy Leotardo and Joe Peeps. Jason is killed off-screen, as Lorraine tries to escape, she is killed by Billy not far from where she discovers Jason's dead body. • Tony Cucci as Dominic "Fat Dom" Gamiello: he is a
made man of the Lupertazzi crime family under
Phil Leotardo. Gamiello joined with Gerry Torciano in murdering
Vito in a hotel in Fort Lee, New Jersey because of Vito's homosexuality, while Leotardo watched. He commented to Phil Leotardo that Vito was "a disgrace" to organized crime. He runs a high-stakes card game in
Canarsie, Brooklyn. Later, Dom visited Satriale's to deliver money to
Silvio Dante and Carlo Gervasi. Although Fat Dom starts passive-aggressively insulting Vito and crudely implies that Gervasi is homosexual, Silvio silenced him with a blow to the back of the head with a
dustbuster. Silvio told Carlo to just "hit him" but Carlo repeatedly and fatally stabbed Dominic in the stomach with a butcher knife. Dominic's murder infuriated Tony Soprano and Silvio and Carlo closed Satriale's to dispose of the body. Carlo and Silvio first planned to dismember his body but finally decided to bury it at a construction site and ditch the car somewhere along the
U.S. Route 1 in New Jersey. They
decapitate Dom off-screen when dismembering his corpse. Carlo was seen disposing of Dom's severed head (which he was keeping in a
deep freezer at his house on the Jersey Shore) at the beginning of the next episode, by shoving it down a storm drain along
Connecticut Route 3. •
Joe Santos as Angelo Garepe: he is
consigliere to
Carmine Lupertazzi for 30 years (1956 to 1986) before his incarceration at
United States Penitentiary, Leavenworth where he served 18 years. Infighting occurred amongst the members of the
Lupertazzi crime family following Carmine's death. Angelo chose
Little Carmine's side along with
capo Rusty Millio. During the infighting, Angelo recruited his old friend, Tony Blundetto, to murder
Joseph "Joey Peeps" Peparelli—an associate of Johnny Sack and member of
Phil Leotardo's crew. Following this, Phil and his brother,
Billy Leotardo, killed Angelo. Angelo's murder had two major repercussions—it caused Little Carmine to forfeit, making Johnny Sack the undisputed successor to Carmine, Sr. It also provoked Tony Blundetto to pursue the Leotardos, shooting and killing Billy Leotardo while wounding Phil. This nearly started a war between the New York and New Jersey crews, and anger from this conflict remained until the conclusion of
The Sopranos. •
Lou Martini Jr. as Anthony Infante: he is Ginny Sacrimoni's brother and
Johnny Sack's brother-in-law. Infante is an
optometrist, but also serves as a reluctant back-channel through which
Tony Soprano and Johnny Sack communicate while Johnny is in federal detention. • Greg D'Agostino as Jimmy Lauria: he is an associate of the
Little Italy, Manhattan Leotardo crew. Takes part in the
beat down on Hesh's son-in-law Eli in
Mill Basin, Brooklyn, with Gerry Torciano. Phil thought that Eli was an independent loanshark who was lending out money without making payments to Gerry. Later attends the meeting with Tony, Hesh, Phil Leotardo and Gerry Torciano to make restitution for Hesh's son-in-law's injuries from a
hit and run that happened when Eli tried to run from Jimmy and Gerry. They agree to pay $50,000 for pain and suffering. • Chris Caldovino as William "Billy" Leotardo: he was a soldier in
Phil Leotardo's
Little Italy, Manhattan, crew and Phil's younger brother. Billy killed Lorraine Calluzzo and Jason Evanina with his friend
Joe Peeps. Following
Carmine Lupertazzi's death, a power struggle between
Johnny Sack and
Little Carmine ensued. One side was led by Carmine's underboss, Johnny Sack, while the other was ostensibly led by Carmine's son and Miami capo, "Little Carmine" Lupertazzi. Joe Peeps was killed soon after and Billy took part in the response – a hit on Angelo Garepe in "The Test Dream". Billy himself was killed in "All Due Respect," by
Tony Blundetto in revenge for the death of his friend Angelo, causing lasting distress to his brother Phil, who was wounded in the attack. He is cremated and his urn is kept on a shelf behind the bar of Phil Leotardo's Little Italy social club. •
Joe Maruzzo as Joseph "Joey Peeps" Peparelli: he is an associate in
Phil Leotardo's crew and an
aide-de-camp to Johnny Sack, often going to high-level sit-downs with him. Joey had contacted an Asian hitman "Jerry from
Fort Lauderdale, Florida" that Johnny ordered to kill Ralph in
Delray Beach, Florida, and subsequently tells the hitman to call off the murder when Johnny decides against it, agreeing to pay him half for his trouble. During the infighting amongst the Lupertazzi crime family, Joey and Billy Leotardo kill lady shylock Lorraine Calluzzo, and her partner Jason Evanina, for kicking payments up to Little Carmine instead of to Johnny Sack. In retaliation, Soprano family member Tony Blundetto is hired for a hit on Joey, who is shot to death along with a prostitute in the front seat of his
Lincoln Town Car when leaving a Manhattan
brothel that he collects protection money from. At Joey's funeral, Tony Soprano is aghast that his crew had a formal headstone carved with the deceased's nickname "Peeps" instead of his proper surname "Peparelli." •
Vinny Vella as James "Jimmy" Petrille: he is a friend of Johnny Sack's from Brooklyn who became his
consigliere once Johnny took over as boss of the family. When Billy Leotardo is shot dead by Tony Blundetto, Jimmy is the one that calls Tony Soprano and tells him. Later, he sits in on one of the discussions with Tony and Phil over the Tony Blundetto situation and tells Phil that he gets emotional when he drinks wine. He is also the one that notifies Tony Soprano by telephone from a deli in
Little Italy, Manhattan in code that John Sacrimoni took over the reign of the family from Carmine Lupertazzi Jr. in a bloodless coup. However, it is revealed in "
All Due Respect" that Petrille had been a cooperating witness with the FBI and gave up information on transport truck hijacking and drug dealing going back to Sacrimoni's criminal activities in 1981, which was instrumental in Johnny's arrest by the
Brooklyn District Attorney and the FBI. • Nick Annunziata as Eddie Pietro: he is a soldier in
Rusty Millio's crew and his right-hand man. Eddie was shot in the head multiple times alongside Rusty by hired Sicilian hitmen Italo and Salvatore while backing out of Rusty's driveway. • Daniel P. Conte as Faustino "Doc" Santoro: he is an aging
Mustache Pete in the
Lupertazzi crime family. Santoro ordered a hit on
Gerry Torciano. Torciano was the perceived successor to Phil Leotardo. Doc had him brazenly murdered while he ate dinner with
Silvio Dante. Phil avenges his long-felt humiliations and has Doc murdered, along with his bodyguard, outside a massage parlor and brothel in
Chinatown, Manhattan, cementing his own claim to be the boss. One of the gunmen shoots out Santoro's right eye. Butch DeConcini is one of the getaway drivers. Tony Soprano and the crew learn of Santoro's murder from watching a televised news report at the Bada Bing. • John Bianco as Gerardo "Gerry The Hairdo" Torciano: he was a protégé of
Phil Leotardo. Torciano and
Jimmy Lauria got into an altercation with
Hesh Rabkin and his son-in-law Eli over extortion money collections being done on the crew's territory in
Mill Basin, Brooklyn. Torciano's men burned them out of his car, beat up Eli, and slugged Rabkin. As Eli fled he was hit by a taxi cab in a
hit and run and hospitalized. Later, Torciano apologized to Tony, claiming that he thought Eli was a civilian, and paid Eli $50,000 in restitution for his injuries. He was made official captain in 2006. Dominick "Fat Dom" Gamiello and Torciano murdered
Vito Spatafore in his motel room while Leotardo watched. When Santoro took over from Sacrimoni, Gerry told Silvio Dante that he was surprised that Phil Leotardo seemed to have lost his drive to become boss of the Lupertazzi family. On April 15, 2007, Gerry died at the hands of a hitman (on orders from Faustino "Doc" Santoro) in a
Brooklyn, New York restaurant while dining with Soprano family consigliere
Silvio Dante who was used as a diversion and their respective dates. John Sacrimoni hears about Gerry's death from an orderly in the prison hospital. • John "Cha-Cha" Ciarcia as Albert "Albie" Cianflone: he is the reputed
consigliere to Phil Leotardo. Albie is a former
soldier in the Leotardo crew and has worked for Phil Leotardo since the 1980s. After Johnny Sack was arrested and indicted on various charges, Phil was promoted to acting boss, and Albie was made new consigliere. Albie helped mediate the Barone Sanitation dispute with the Soprano crime family. Alongside newly made underboss Butch DeConcini, Albie was one of Phil's most trusted advisors and confidants. After Phil hatches the plot to kill the entire regime of the Soprano crime family, Albie first protests in shock that taking out an entire family is impossible, however, he later agrees with Phil's decision. Along with Butch, Albie plans the executions of
Tony Soprano,
Silvio Dante, and
Bobby Baccalieri. In the final episode, "
Made in America", Albie meets with Tony,
Paulie Gualtieri, Little Carmine, Butch DeConcini, and George Paglieri, in New York, where the Lupertazzis agree to end their war with the Sopranos.
FBI agents •
Michael Kelly as Ron Goddard: he is Agent Harris' new partner in 2006 in the

Port of New York and New Jersey. • Frank Pando as Frank Grasso: he is an FBI agent who was with the Newark FBI Organized Crime Division Task Force with an office at 11 Center Place
Newark, New Jersey. He handled mob capo and
informant Raymond Curto, whom he planned to have testify as a
cooperating witness against Tony Soprano and
Ralph Cifaretto, among others. During a raid on the
North Caldwell, New Jersey Soprano residence, Grasso broke a bowl from the kitchen refrigerator. Immediately after, he and Tony developed a grudge when Tony noted his last name and insulted him in Italian. He is an homage to famous New York City Detective
Sonny Grosso who helped reveal the
French Connection. Tony says that if it weren't for Grasso's last name they'd have him sweeping up at the office, and implies that the other FBI agents probably search him before he leaves work to go home every day. Tony thinks that Grasso is
arresting "his own people", fellow Italian-Americans, to get promoted. •
Karen Young as Robyn Sanseverino: she is an FBI agent who handled
Adriana La Cerva after Adriana became very resentful against Agent Ciccerone. She also handled capo
Raymond Curto just before his death from natural causes. Adriana blames her
ulcerative colitis on the pressure being placed on her to be a
cooperating witness by Sanseverino and the FBI. Sanseverino hints to Adriana that
Richie Aprile and
Pussy Bonpensiero are dead and not in the
Witness Protection Program, despite what Tony Soprano and the others say. •
Lola Glaudini as Deborah Ciccerone-Waldrup: she is a special agent who went undercover as "Danielle Ciccolella from
Whippany, New Jersey" to befriend Adriana in order to uncover information about Christopher Moltisanti's relationship with Tony Soprano. She is married to FBI Special Agent Mike Waldrup and has a child with him. She poses as a wealthy woman and makes contact with Adriana in a
Nutley, New Jersey, dress shop. Her usefulness as an undercover agent ended after four and a half months when Adriana saw Christopher try to seduce her, causing Adriana to break off their friendship. However, Deborah did uncover drug use at Adriana's club which the FBI hangs over Adriana's head to motivate her to become an informant. She later meets Adriana at a bakery in
East Hanover Township, New Jersey after her Danielle identity is dropped. Tony later asked Adriana about her friend Danielle, and she awkwardly tells him that she drowned, hence her disappearance. In the episode "
Long Term Parking", Adriana finally tells Christopher about Danielle's true identity, after revealing her own involvement with the FBI to him. The first appearance of Deborah Ciccerone in "
Army of One" was initially aired with
Fairuza Balk in the role until she was recast, and the scene replaced with Glaudini.

Quebec named Eugene, took him back to
Montreal and Janice states that she tried to petition the State Department to have him returned to her. He did not see much of his mother Janice. Janice attempted to send Harpo to military school in
New Brunswick, New Jersey, the same one that Tony tries to send AJ to, but Tony says that "Janice was too late for him." Janice never told Bobby the Third or Sophia Baccalieri about their
step-brother until Tony brought it up during a family dinner. In the episode "
Proshai, Livushka", Janice mentions that Harpo had become homeless when Tony proposes flying him in for Livia's funeral. In Season 5, she says she mentioned Harpo to Bobby once, but that the topic of him is never brought up in the family again.

Tracee later met Ralph at the Bada Bing lounge, where she insulted him in front of the other associates and capos. Ralph followed her out to the deserted parking lot, where he teased her into thinking he would actually marry and support her. He then abruptly changed his tone and gleefully made snide remarks that her daughter would end up as a "cocksucking slob" just like her. Outraged, Tracee slapped him and insulted his masculinity, which led to Ralph brutally beating her to death. An enraged Tony assaulted Ralph due to his "disrespect of the Bing". •
Alla Kliouka Schaffer as Svetlana Kirilenko: she is a cousin of Tony's ex-mistress, Irina, and is manager of a home health/nursing business. During her childhood, Svetlana developed an
osteosarcoma in her leg, which had to be amputated soon afterward. Svetlana's first appearance is after Tony's breakup with Irina; Svetlana contacts Tony after Irina's suicide attempt. Shortly thereafter she appears as the last in a series of home health nurses the Sopranos hire to care for Livia Soprano, after her primary caregiver and daughter, Janice, suddenly flees town in the aftermath of Richie Aprile's death. After Livia dies, Tony allows Svetlana to continue living in Livia's house, until she can find her own place to live. She later works as a temporary replacement for Uncle Junior's nurse, Branca (who works for her), after he falls at the courthouse. One afternoon while Uncle Junior is asleep, Tony has sex with Svetlana on Junior's sofa.

masochistic inclinations, she breaks up with Ralph and begins dating Tony exclusively, which Tony later reveals to Ralph. As Ralph is rather preoccupied at that time with his son Justin's severe medical condition, he shrugs it off and is seemingly indifferent about it. In the Season 5 episode "
The Test Dream", after she pushes Tony to make a decision about staying with his wife or being committed to her, her robe catches fire while trying to cook for Tony. Tony quickly extinguishes the fire, but Valentina sustains
second degree burns on her scalp. Although it is soon discovered that Valentina will fully heal from the wounds without the need for skin grafts or any scarring, Tony breaks the news to her that he is going back to Carmela. He tells her that he will pay for the doctor's bills and also pay for a wig for her to wear until her hair grows back. •

realtor working for
Century 21 and trying to purchase a building owned by Tony, Caputo's Poultry, around the corner from Satriale's. It is a poultry
hatchery that the prospective buyers want to turn into a
Jamba Juice. She was persistent in pursuing the deal, contacting Tony at Satriale's and the Bada Bing and over the phone. At the Bada Bing, Tony seduced Julianna but she told him she was going to exercise self-control and decline because she was engaged. Despite Tony's initial misgivings, her third offer was high enough for him to accept the deal. Tony met her at her home to sign the papers, and they started kissing and began to undress one another, but Tony abruptly ends the encounter and walks out. Following her rejection by Tony, Julianna went to an AA meeting. There she met
Christopher Moltisanti who was also in attendance and who remembered her from when she first approached Tony at Satriale's. He introduced himself after the meeting and invited her for coffee, which prompted the beginning of an extramarital affair. Tony reinitiated his pursuit of Julianna when they met to close the Caputo's Poultry real estate deal and she was initially polite in declining any further contact with him. Ignoring warnings from both of their sponsors that Christopher and Julianna's relationship would be enabling for the two recovering addicts, they began smoking
heroin together. •
