The Sopranos is one of the most successful and legendary television shows and was one of the first HBO series' to take storytelling to a new level. It won numerous awards and was integral in helping the careers of James Gandolfini, Edie Falco and Jamie-Lyn Sigler. Here is a quick rundown of some of the most important characters on the Sopranos, none of them easily categorized in terms of good or evil, they are human who may spend too much time at thepoker tables, strip club or mistress' house but they are essentially products of their environment, not rotten to the core. Christopher Moltisanti A protg of Tony Soprano and eventually made a Capo in the Crime family, Christopher is often compulsive and aggressive with a very short temper. Tony has a lot of patience and love for Christopher who is a nephew to him but has a few moments during the show where Christopher had to make the decision to abandon his screenwriting and Hollywood dreams to dedicate himself to the DeMio family. Christophers girlfriend Adriana La Cerva puts up with much abuse from Christopher but seems to genuinely care for him but moreso is addicted to the lifestyle and wealth that it brings. Silvio Dante Played by Bruce Springsteen E Street Band member Steven Van Zandt, Silvio Dante is one of the closest friends to Tony and is a Consigliere to the family. Silvio keeps a low profile as the owner and manager of the Bada Bing strip club. Unlike many of the other characters on the show, Silvio is very level headed, often able to keep his cool in the worst situations. He is known best for quoting lines from the Godfather III film, namely Just when I thought I was outthey pulled me back in to great laughter from his friends.About the Author:
