Jackie Aprile, Sr.

Alex Mahaffey is played by Michael Gaston. He is a "degenerate gambler" in debt to Tony and Hesh Rabkin, an old Jewish friend of Tony's father, Johnny. Tony concocts a scheme for Mahaffey's company to make insurance claims payable to non-existent clinics in order to pay off his debts. Realizing that he would die if he refused, Mahaffey complies with the fraud.

Giacomo Michael "Jackie" Aprile, Sr. is played by Michael Rispoli. He was born in 1955, and rose through the ranks of the DiMeo Crime Family with his older brother Richie and close friend Tony Soprano. Jackie was the brother of Liz La Cerva, and the uncle of Adriana La Cerva. Jackie and Tony, along with Silvio Dante and Ralph Cifaretto, belonged to a small crew moving weed and stolen goods. Around this time, Jackie had the idea to rob a card game held by capo Michele "Feech" La Manna in order to make a name for themselves.

Jackie's star rose considerably in the intervening years, during which he started a family. He married Rosalie Aprile, and they had two children together. Jackie never wanted his son Jackie Aprile Jr. to get involved in the mob despite his success. He and Richie appointed Aprile crew associate Peter "Beansie" Gaeta to peddle heroin for them, taking the largest cut for themselves. Aprile was the acting boss of the family from 1995, when boss Ercole DiMeo went to prison, until 1999 when he dies of stomach cancer in the fourth episode of Season 1, and is succeeded by Junior Soprano.

Michael "Mikey" Palmice is played by Al Sapienza. Mikey starts out as a soldier in Corrado "Junior" Soprano's crew as his driver and bodyguard. After Jackie Aprile Sr. dies, Junior becomes boss. He is a very loyal, obsequious minion to Junior. In Tony's brief and bloody war with Junior's crew, following Junior's attempt on Tony's life, Paulie Gualtieri is assigned the hit on Mikey, along with Christopher Moltisanti. Chris' friend Brendan Filone had previously been killed by Mikey while in his bathtub on orders from Junior in retribution for Brendan stealing his merchandise. Tony decides to confront his uncle and Mikey by beating Mikey to the ground and stapling his jacket to his torso. He then goes to have a sit-down with Junior. Later, in retaliation for the attempted hit on Tony, Mikey is killed in the woods after Chris and Paulie chase him down while he is jogging.

In the episode "From Where to Eternity", when Chris becomes clinically dead for a few minutes after his heart stops while in his comatose state, he has a morphine-induced dream in which he visits Hell and sees his deceased father "Dickie" Moltisanti along with his deceased friend Brendan Filone and Mikey Palmice. Chris informs Tony and Paulie that Mikey had a message for them: "Three o'clock".

Paulie subsequently begins to have nightmares of being dragged to Hell and, at the recommendation of his mistress, he goes to see a medium in Nyack, New York. Much to Paulie's chagrin, the authenticity of the medium is confirmed when he apparently begins communicating with people that Paulie has killed, with Mikey apparently giving details of his murder. Paulie remains unsettled and paranoid, as he feels he is being haunted by Palmice and others he had murdered throughout his criminal life.

Agent Dwight Harris is played by Matt Servitto. Harris is an FBI Supervisor Agent-in-Charge specializing in the investigation of the DiMeo crime family with the FBI's Newark Organized Crime Division Task Force. After September 11, Harris is reassigned to counter-terrorism duty with the Joint Terrorism Task Force in Pakistan. He approaches Christopher, and eventually Tony, for information on terrorism-related organized crime from his criminal connections at the Port of New York and New Jersey in exchange for banking "goodwill" in possible future RICO trials. In the Season 6 episode "Kaisha", Harris appears at Satriale's Pork Store to inform Tony that someone in his crew could be in danger, although he has no specific details. While investigating the murder of Gilbert Nieves at the Crazy Horse and Matush, with the possible terrorism links, he takes over the investigation from Long Branch, New Jersey police.

Later, Agent Harris and his partner, Agent Goddard, approach Tony at his home, requesting that Tony inform them should he come across any terror-related information in his line of work. Later, he suspects that two Muslim former patrons of the Bada Bing (Ahmed and Muhammad), who had been paying Christopher Moltisanti for stolen credit card numbers, were involved in terrorist activity. Tony provides their names and a cell phone number to Agent Harris, who is appreciative. In return, Agent Harris promises to write a letter detailing Tony's assistance that will be placed in Tony's FBI file for a judge to consider in sentencing should Tony ever be convicted of a crime.

Harris later tells Tony at Satriale's that an informer among Phil Leotardo's crew told them that Tony is being targeted by the Lupertazzi family. Agent Harris meets with Tony, and Tony offers him the name of the Muslim men's bank. In return, Harris tells Tony that while in hiding, Leotardo has been making calls from a pay phone in Oyster Bay, Long Island, information he apparently obtains from a female agent from the Brooklyn FBI Organized Crime Division Office he has sexual relations with. When Agent Goddard later reports Leotardo's murder, Harris exults in the success of his ploy, stating "we're gonna win this thing!"

Father Phil Intintola is played by Paul Schulze and Michael Santoro (pilot episode only). Father Phil is the priest at the Sopranos' local Catholic church. Initially, Father Phil and Carmela Soprano have a robust friendship based on a mutual interest in romance films and Italian culture. Carmela's husband, Tony, finds their friendship—and Father Phil's constant, uninvited visits to their home for Carmela's home-cooked food— irritating. Carmela describes Father Phil as a "spiritual mentor" she utilizes "to become a better Catholic", and the rare male friend who appreciates things that the ultra-masculine Tony finds to be unmanly.

One rainy evening, with Tony and Meadow in Maine and AJ at a friend's house, Father Phil visits a sick Carmela, and the two share ziti and wine together. After much wine and watching a film together, the two come very close to kissing. He sleeps over without having sex with Carmela, resulting in an awkward feeling between the two the morning after. Carmela gets jealous when she makes a surprise visit to the church to bring Father Phil home-cooked food—only to see him already being fed a home-cooked dish by her friend, Rosalie Aprile, and him having the same chemistry with Rosalie that she thought he only had with her. Soon after, Carmela confronts Father Phil and ends her friendship with him, accusing him of developing para-romantic relationships with women parishioners to gain gifts and other favors.

Although Father Phil was mostly seen ministering to female parishioners, he also counseled men. He repeatedly invited Tony to attend church and confession more often in order to reduce his anxiety attacks by improving his relationship with God. He counseled Artie Bucco when he was told about Tony burning down his restaurant by Livia. Father Phil encouraged Artie to go to the police and to tell Charmaine about the arson, which Artie ultimately didn't do. He counseled Ralph Cifaretto when he came to him devastated and perplexed by his teen son's life-threatening injury after an accident whilst playing bow and arrows with a friend. Father Phil encourages Ralph to view the tragedy as an opportunity to change his life's course; he also gently rejects Ralph's assertion that God allowed his son to be injured in order to punish Ralph for his criminal sins.

Later in the series, Carmela and Father Phil seem to be on good terms again until she confesses an act of adultery to him. He turns cold and is clearly disappointed, as he'd always urged Carmela to work on her marriage and had dissuaded her from considering divorce. He orders Carmela to do a penance by way of doing something nice for Tony, which she later does. In Season 6, when Tony is comatose after being shot, Carmela was again dependent upon Father Phil, who comforts her and the Soprano children at Tony's hospital bedside.

Vin Makazian is played by John Heard. Vin was a Newark, New Jersey, police detective who worked on narcotics and vice squads and fed information to Tony Soprano. He was raised by an abusive alcoholic father who beat him as a child and his mother. His salary was $40,000 per year and he had two failed marriages. Tony also used Vin as a personal private investigator, engaging Vin to find information about his psychiatrist Jennifer Melfi when Tony first started therapy in 1998.

One night he tailed her and pulled her car over under the ruse that the vehicle was seen leaving a crime scene earlier in the day. He then questioned Jennifer's date, a lawyer, under the suspicion that he was driving drunk, and beats him unprovoked. Vin was responsible for informing Tony that Sal "Big Pussy" Bonpensiero was an FBI informant, prompting Tony's suspicions of Pussy. This was later seemingly dismissed when Tony found out Vin owed Big Pussy $30,000 in Super Bowl XXXIII gambling debts with interest payments, and Vin would like to see Big Pussy taken out to absolve him of that debt.

The best man at one of Vin's weddings sits on the New Jersey State Police Organized Crime Task Force and gave Vin the initial hint that Big Pussy was an informant. Vin frequented an illegal brothel and had a relationship with the madam there. He was arrested at the brothel along with Soprano crime family capo Raymond Curto during a police raid.

Vin later committed suicide, by leaping off the Donald and Morris Goodkind Bridges into the Raritan River shortly after he was released from jail and suspended from the police force. Tony later visited the madam Debra with whom Vin had a therapeutic relationship, and she divulges to Tony that Vin viewed him as a friend, and was prone to depression. This leaves Tony with guilt because he had always treated Vin with disdain and never showed him any respect or kindness.

Dick Barone is played by Joe Lisi. Dick owned and operated Barone Sanitation, a container and trash removal service, and front business for the Soprano crew. The company handled their legitimate garbage hauling routes across New Jersey, including an illegal medical waste dumping site in Dayton, New Jersey, an asbestos removal project in Corning, New York, a weigh station in Dayton, New Jersey and a landfill in Pennsauken Township, New Jersey. Dick 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 the D'Allessio brothers divide up the rest. Dick's son Jason works as a ski instructor at Deer Valley in Summit County, Utah and knew little about the waste management business. In 1999, the lucrative new office parkway, the Triborough Towers in Essex County, New Jersey along the Eisenhower Parkway in Roseland, New Jersey and Livingston, New Jersey route was subject to a bidding war between Barone and Czechoslovak-based waste management company, Kolar Brothers Sanitation. Dick Barone was part of the crews' discussions about the problem and was at Satriale's when Christopher Moltisanti took it upon himself to deal with the issue and murder Emil Kolar. He also gets a route that was previously managed by Richie Aprile in Fairfield Township, Essex County, New Jersey when it comes up for bidding.

Chris' action led to the Kolar Bros. withdrawing their bid which Dick was happy to report to Tony. He worried about Richie Aprile due to Aprile's and Junior Soprano's front business, Zanone Bros, carting cocaine on his garbage association routes because he could lose his "901", saying that he can handle the Department of Sanitation due to having a contact inside the Environmental Protection Agency, but not the Drug Enforcement Administration. Dick died in 2006 from Lou Gehrig's disease. His funeral was attended by many members of the DiMeo crime family. Dick was survived by his wife, Helen Barone, and son, Jason.

Following his death, Barone Sanitation was bought out by Lupertazzi crime family firm, Cinelli Sanitation. Tony asked John Sacramoni for 25% of the sale price and a year's salary until retirement plus a skim from the company which is $2,000 a week when the company went up for sale. He agreed to lower the sale settlement by staying on the payroll and lowering the skim profits.

James "Jimmy" Altieri is played by Joseph Badalucco Jr. Jimmy was a capo in the DiMeo/Soprano crime family. In the episode "Nobody Knows Anything", Jimmy was arrested for gun charges while running an illegal card game. The FBI found pool tables full of guns. Big Pussy Bonpensiero was also present and arrested but was already working for the feds at this point. Agent Skip Lipari stated he had been with them since 1998, although Tony thinks Pussy "flipped" in 1995.

Vin Makazian, Tony's inside detective, who works clandestinely for Tony, informs Tony that Big Pussy Bonpensiero is "wired for sound" – that he is an informant. Tony finds this very difficult to believe. Shortly after Jimmy's arrest, he is released. He shows up one night at Tony's home during dinner. He and Tony walk into the basement where Jimmy begins asking Tony a lot of questions, making Tony very suspicious. Tony finds Jimmy's behavior very peculiar and also believes he was released too promptly after his arrest.

Tony then begins to suspect that Makazian mistook Jimmy for Pussy as they are both big, burly guys. Pussy abruptly disappears after being confronted by Paulie Gualtieri. Earlier in the episode, Vin Makazian, who had chronic depression, committed suicide by jumping off a bridge, so Tony was not able to confirm whether Vin had confused Jimmy and Pussy. Tony decides to go with his instincts and decides that Jimmy is an informant.

At a meeting with other administrators and capos, it is apparent to everyone else Jimmy is acting somewhat odd. As such, Uncle Junior sanctioned a hit on Jimmy and said he wanted a message to be sent. Christopher lured Jimmy to a hotel room using a stripper as bait. Once Jimmy was seated in the room, Silvio entered and put a gun to the back of his head. Jimmy realized what was about to happen and went for a gun in his ankle holster, at which point Silvio shot him in the back of his head. Jimmy's body was found in an alley with a rat stuffed in his mouth. Carlo Gervasi subsequently takes over Jimmy's abandoned crew after Jimmy's death. Following the revelations that Puss is the FBI informant, Altieri's is scrutinised but never made clear how long he flipped as Tony was never able to verify from Makazian who was arrested and died.

Irina Peltsin is played by Oksana Lada. Irina is Tony's 24-year-old Russian comàre during the first two seasons. Tony broke up with Irina in Season 2 because she wanted him to commit to a relationship. Irina then attempted suicide but was found by her cousin, Svetlana. As a sign of friendship, Tony sent Silvio to tell Irina to move on with her life and present her with a one-time payoff of $75,000. In Season 4, Assemblyman Ronald Zellman tells Tony that he has been dating Irina for quite some time, and Tony does not seem to care.

However, Tony later gets jealous and humiliates Zellman in front of Irina by whipping him with a belt. Svetlana later tells Tony the couple had broken up because, after the emasculating attack, Zellman "could not perform." When Uncle Junior's nurse Branca, who works for Svetlana, walks in on Tony and Svetlana just after they had sex, she later tells Irina. Irina calls Tony's house and then tells Carmela that she is Tony's ex-mistress and informs Carmela of Tony's tryst with Svetlana. Carmela warns Irina never to call the house again, but the call prompts Carmela's violent confrontation with Tony and their marital separation.

Frank Cubitoso is played by Frank Pellegrino. He is an FBI chief of the Newark FBI Organized Crime Division Task Force located at 11 Center Place, Newark, New Jersey, who is constantly looking for new insight on the ongoing Soprano/DiMeo case. It was his idea to bug Green Grove Retirement Community when Tony Soprano, Jimmy Altieri, and Larry Boy Barese move their mothers in, despite other agents' skepticism. He successfully coordinates a mission to put the Soprano residence under surveillance though the use of an old lamp in their basement. The operation ends when Meadow takes the old lamp to college.

When Agent Sanseverino worries after Adriana disappears, Cubitoso decides it is time to move on.

Elliot Kupferberg is played by Peter Bogdanovich. Elliot is the therapist of Jennifer Melfi, who is the psychiatrist of Tony Soprano. Elliot tries to convince her numerous times to refer Tony to another colleague. Elliot calls her "Jen" during their sessions. Vin Makazian, Tony's inside cop, reveals to Tony when he is asked to survey Jennifer that she sees her own psychiatrist, Kupferberg, which surprises Tony. Elliot has a daughter, Saskia. Saskia, a butch lesbian, was an upperclassman at Columbia University when Tony's daughter, Meadow Soprano, was a freshman and gave a presentation that led Meadow to join the South Bronx legal clinic that eventually put Meadow on the path to law school.

Elliot once unknowingly encountered Tony in the parking garage at Columbia University, while both were visiting their daughters. He followed Tony in his car in the hopes of taking Tony's parking space when he left but annoyed Tony by driving too closely. In the episode "Employee of the Month", Elliot urges Melfi to cease treating her gangster patient, whose name she inadvertently reveals to Elliot. In 2007, following Tony's shooting by Junior and the rise of his media profile, Melfi accuses Elliot of directing their therapy towards discussing "Patient Soprano" because of his desire for gossip and continuous shows of interest in the Mafia.

In the episode "The Second Coming", he tells Melfi of a study that concludes that talk therapy enables sociopaths. In the episode "The Blue Comet", he further presses Melfi about Soprano at a dinner party, where he reveals to guests that Soprano is Melfi's patient, to her embarrassment, a serious breach of doctor-patient confidentiality, although he dismisses her protests casually, saying everyone at the table is a professional. However, she later reads the study at home and is convinced of its findings. At her next session with Tony, she permanently ends further sessions.

Elliot frequently drinks from a very large reusable water bottle during therapy sessions, which Bogdanovich claims was his own bottle at the time.

Hugo "Hugh" DeAngelis is played by Tom Aldredge. Hugh is Carmela's father who is in his mid-70s. Hugh has been married to Mary for over 40 years and is a resident of West Orange, New Jersey.

Hugh has a brother named Lester and a sister named Lena, who is the mother of Christopher Moltisanti's father Dickie, thus making Hugh Chris's great uncle.

During Carmela and Tony's separation, Hugh was eager to see Tony whenever possible and often took Tony's side in family discussions. He did not want to be present at a family gathering if "the man of the house" was not there, in the episode "Marco Polo". Hugh became involved in a real estate investment with Carmela involving a spec house. However, construction of the spec house was halted after a building inspector found that low-quality wood had been used. Carmela blamed her father for the setback and Hugh became angry that Carmela was treating him as a subordinate rather than a partner. Carmela and Hugh reconciled enough for him to attend Christmas celebrations at the Soprano home later that year – after Carmela's spec house started to go ahead again.

Mary DeAngelis (née Pellegrino) is played by Suzanne Shepherd. Mary is Carmela's mother who is in her mid-70s. Mary has been married to her husband Hugh DeAngelis for over 40 years. Shortly after Carmela began dating Tony Soprano, she became extremely protective of her daughter and tried to prevent her from marrying him. After Carmela got married, the De Angelises met Tony's mother, Livia Soprano, with whom they became very angry after Livia told Carmela that "Tony would get bored of her." Mary also has psoriasis.

Agent Skip Lipari is played by Louis Lombardi. Skip is an FBI agent who handled Salvatore "Big Pussy" Bonpensiero. When Sal begins to confide more and more to Skip as a friend, Skip tries to tell him that he is not his friend and he is there to help the federal government.

During a meeting at a party store, Sal coincidentally is seen by mob associate Jimmy Bones and introduces Skip as "Joe from Dover, Delaware" without much success in holding up the story.

This later leads to Sal murdering Jimmy to cover up his connection with the FBI. Sal tries to trap Christopher in a RICO predicate with Tony by offering to get his girlfriend a BMW M3 convertible and give the information to the FBI. Sal fails to follow Moltisanti to a hijacking job when he hits a bicyclist. After Sal aids Tony in the revenge of Matthew Beveliacqua, Lispari warns him his agreement is in jeapordy if he commits murder and does not believe Sal's denials/ In the Season 2 finale, Sal is murdered by Tony, Paulie, and Silvio after they discover he is an informant. His last appears in a meeting at the beginning of season 3 where they are reviewing Sal's conversations with Tony. As the conversation surrounding Bevilacqua is brief he states the Sal must be dead.

Matthew Bevilaqua is played by Lillo Brancato Jr. Matthew was Sean Gismonte's partner-in-crime and paramour from West Orange, New Jersey and an associate working under Christopher Moltisanti in the Gualtieri crew. Born in 1977, he was 23 years old when he was killed, in "From Where to Eternity." In "Mr. Ruggiero's Neighborhood", Bonpensiero is overheard on an FBI wiretap that Bevilaqua's family is involved in the construction business and that the family saw him as a scion. Matthew also mentions that he, Sean and Bear Iyer attended the Lubin School of Business at Pace University and are licensed stockbrokers and Webistics jobbers.

Matthew worked with Christopher in various aspects of organized crime, including the Massarone construction site; a pump-and-dump stock scheme at an over-the-counter brokerage house in Bayonne, New Jersey involving an internet company called Webistics; assisting with Junior Soprano's executive card game; and some burglary jobs with Chris and Sean.

Silvio referred to Matthew and Sean as "Chip 'n' Dale" after the cartoon because of their ineptness. He drives a Buick Park Avenue that he abandons after Sean is shot and killed in the passenger seat during the failed mob hit on Christopher.

Despite their general lack of talent, Matthew and Sean wanted to move up in the ranks of the family. They tried to impress Tony whenever possible but eventually angered him by attempting to directly discuss criminal activity with him at the toilets in a men's room, unaware of the threat of wiretapping. Then, hoping to gain favor with Richie Aprile, Matthew and Sean decided to make an assassination attempt on Christopher, who they knew Aprile disliked. Attempting a drive-by ambush in the parking lot outside the Skyway Diner in Kearny, they hit Christopher twice but were unable to kill him. Before collapsing from blood loss, Christopher was able to return fire, killing Sean.

Matthew fled to seek protection from Richie Aprile, who reacted angrily and chased him away by throwing a baseball bat at him. When Tony Soprano and Big Pussy Bonpensiero found him hiding in Hacklebarney State Park, they interrogated him before they emptied their guns into him in one of the park's concession stands. Before he is killed, Bevilaqua pleads to Tony that it was all Sean's idea to shoot Moltisanti. There was a witness in the park who connected the murder to Tony, although the witness retracted his statement upon learning that one of the shooters might have been Tony Soprano. The newspaper identified Matthew as a Soprano crime family "associate."

Giacomo Michael "Jackie" Aprile Jr. is played by Jason Cerbone. Jackie Jr. was born into a North Jersey mafia family in 1978 and raised in Lincoln Park, New Jersey. His father, Jackie Aprile Sr., was once the acting boss of the DiMeo crime family, and his uncle Richie Aprile was a longtime DiMeo capo. Jackie Jr. was a linebacker for his football team at Boonton High School and was selected for All-State. Despite attending Rutgers University, Jackie Jr. drifted towards a life of crime after his father's death, and he began helping his uncle Richie when Richie was released from prison.

Jackie's mother Rosalie Aprile began a romantic relationship with Ralph Cifaretto, who became a mentor in Jackie's attempt to follow in his father's footsteps. Tony had been a close friend of Jackie Sr. and had promised to keep Jackie Jr. away from organized crime. Ralph's bad influence, Jackie Jr.'s own faults, and each of their perverse reaction to Tony's efforts to keep the kid out of the Mafia life propelled Jackie Jr. into a brief, humiliating and fatal criminal career.

Jackie and his Rutgers fraternity brother Dino Zerilli began selling ecstasy to college kids. Jackie later planned the robbery of a Jewel-Amnesty International benefit concert at the Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers and drove the getaway car for Christopher Moltisanti and Benny Fazio. Tony is outraged that Chris involved Jackie Jr. and attempts to exclude his activites, as he is not "made for the life". Jackie Jr. has Matush deal drugs outside Adrianna's club, resulting in Matush being beaten and excluded.

Jackie dated Tony's daughter, Meadow, and tried to maintain the appearance of a respectable college student while drifting further into the Mafia life. Tony began to see through Jackie's facade when Tony caught Jackie at the casino on Bloomfield Avenue in Bloomfield, New Jersey and then later at a strip club. Ralph gave Jackie Jr. a .38 revolver, which infuriated Tony, who beat Jackie up in the bathroom of the club after catching Jackie getting a lap dance.

Jackie failed out of Rutgers University after he was caught cheating during an exam. Tony expresses disappointment as he had always defended Jackie jr. to his father when he was alive. Meadow suggested that he enroll at the Fashion Institute of Technology because Jackie said he has a passion for designing men's suits. Meadow later broke up with Jackie after she found Jackie cheating on her. Resentful of Tony's hypocrisy, Jackie began working directly for Ralph, forming his own minor crew in the process.

Upon hearing Ralph tell the story of when Jackie's father and Tony robbed a card game held by Feech La Manna, Jackie was inspired to follow in his father's footsteps. Using his dim-witted crew of Carlo Renzi, Dino Zerilli and Matush, Jackie attempted to hold up a card game run by Soprano soldier Eugene Pontecorvo. In the robbery, Jackie looses control of the situation, first by shouting, causing Christopher to recognise his voice, then due to heckling killed "Sunshine" the dealer, and made man Furio Giunta was shot in the leg. Christopher killed Carlo, who high on drugs fires his shotgun, nearly killing Albert Barese who was exiting the toilet and after hearing the gunshots, Matush fled in the getaway car. Jackie escaped by jacking a car and sped past Dino, who was killed by Christopher and Albert Barese. Christopher reports to Tony that he was certain the masked gunman who escaped was Jackie jr, leaving him vengeful and full of rage.

In "Army of One," Jackie was hiding in a Boonton housing project when he called Tony to claim he attempted the robbery in imitation of Tony and Jackie Sr. During the call he invoke his father in an attempt to get Tony's help but is refused Ralph implies that Jackie should be given a pass for the failed robbery. However, Tony implies that the near-unconditional protection given to "made men" should take priority, which leads Ralph to give the order to have Jackie killed. Jackie Jr. was walking through the Boonton projects when Vito Spatafore shot him in the back of the head. Rosalie, Meadow and the rest of the family were told that Jackie was killed by black drug dealers during a botched transaction. Though Meadow and Jackie's sister Kelli really know the truth as Jackie Jr. aspired to follow in his father footsteps.

Gloria Trillo is played by Annabella Sciorra. Gloria is a car saleswoman for Globe Motors, a Mercedes-Benz dealership in Fairfield, New Jersey. Like Tony, she is a patient of Jennifer Melfi's. She meets Tony at Melfi's office due to a scheduling mix-up. There is an immediate attraction between the two and within days they are having an affair. She tells Tony that she has "murdered" seven relationships to date. Although she presents the facade of a strong and independent woman, Gloria is mentally unstable and exhibits signs of borderline personality disorder, which leads to occasional violent arguments and physical altercations with Tony, bouts of severe depression, and frequent suicidal thoughts.

She nearly drives Tony to kill her at one point before he stops himself and leaves her house. One such incident occurs after Gloria sees Tony's wife Carmela at her dealership, getting her car serviced, and offers to drive her home. Tony calls it quits and cuts off all contact with her and orders Patsy Parisi to threaten Gloria into staying away from him. Patsy accomplishes this by posing as a customer at the dealership and going on a test drive with Gloria. When they are out of the city, Patsy pulls out a gun and tells a horrified Gloria to shut up and listen to him: if she ever contacts Tony or his family again, Patsy will murder her in painful and gory fashion that will leave most of her corpse burnt into ashes and "it will not be cinematic", destroying her delusion that she can still die at Tony's hands. This unbalance eventually leads Gloria to suicide when she hangs herself in her home a year later. Tony later goes back to Globe Motors and inquires after her to another salesman, who confirms her death. Tony later initially blames Melfi for Gloria's death, claiming that she did too little to save Gloria, before blaming himself.

Carmine Lupertazzi Sr. is played by Tony Lip. Carmine was an old-school boss of the Lupertazzi crime family. He kept a low profile for most of his criminal career while operating out of his social clubs and restaurants in New York City. He lives in Mill Basin, Brooklyn. Carmine was arrested and acquitted of labor racketeering charges in the 1980s. It was around this time that Carmine's longtime consigliere, Angelo Garepe and longtime Lupertazzi family captain Phil Leotardo, were convicted of various racketeering charges and sent to prison, Angelo for 18 years and Phil for 20 years. During Carmine's tenure, his family was the largest and wealthiest of the Five Families in New York City. They maintained close ties to New Jersey's DiMeo crime family.

Carmine groomed his son and namesake Little Carmine Lupertazzi, by making him a captain in the crime family that bears his name. He had a sometimes contentious relationship with his underboss Johnny Sack. During various episodes in the fourth season, Johnny and Carmine each authorized Tony Soprano to put a "hit" on the other, although they were both called off at the last minute. In 2004, Carmine's health began to fail and he suffered a massive stroke while having lunch with Tony, Johnny, and Angelo Garepe at a country club, and soon after died in hospital. This left a large power vacuum in the Lupertazzi family.

The heir apparent for his position was his son Little Carmine, a fact that became a point of consternation for Johnny Sack. Johnny did not think much of Little Carmine and felt as Carmine's underboss, he was next in line to be boss. Even Tony has no faith in Little Carmine's capacity to run New York, jokingly referring to him as "Brainless the Second". Despite his shortcomings, Little Carmine finds backers in Carmine Sr.'s recently paroled former consigliere, Angelo Garepe, and long-time Lupertazzi Capo Rusty Millio.

Angelo and Rusty, along with Rusty's right-hand man Eddie Pietro, pull most of the strings during the war between Johnny Sack and Little Carmine. After a cycle of bloodshed that escalates into war, Little Carmine ultimately finds it difficult to stomach the continuing violence and abdicates. His decision was heavily influenced by the murder of Angelo Garepe. After Little Carmine's capitulation, Johnny Sack becomes the boss of the Lupertazzi crime family.

Rusty Millio is played by Frankie Valli. He is a respected and powerful veteran capo in the Lupertazzi Family. Rusty serves as a mentor and advisor to Little Carmine and is considered to be one of the instigators in Little Carmine's power struggle with Johnny Sack following the death of his father and boss, Carmine Lupertazzi Sr. Johnny Sack displays contempt for Rusty, whom he calls the "Mayor of Munchkinland" due to his 5 ft 5 in height.

Rusty and Angelo Garape attempt to recruit Tony Blundetto into killing Joseph "Joey Peeps" Peperelli, a loyalist of Johnny Sack. Blundetto is initially hesitant but eventually carries out the hit, resulting in a cycle of revenge-killings that culminates in the murder of Billy Leotardo. While in prison, Johnny Sack orders through Tony Soprano a hit on Rusty because he anticipates Rusty is likely to try to wrest power away from him. In the episode "Luxury Lounge", Rusty and his driver Edward "Eddie" Pietro are killed in Rusty's driveway by the Italian hitmen Tony contracted.

Michele "Feech" La Manna is played by Robert Loggia. Feech is a Mustache Pete who was "made" in Southern Italy; he first appears in Season 5 after his release from prison. Feech moved to the US in the 1950s and settled in Hamilton Park, Jersey City. He became involved with the DiMeo crime family in bookmaking and loansharking, then under the leadership of boss Ercole "Eckley" DiMeo. He also operates a bakery that makes taralli, a pastry from the region.

A young Jackie Aprile Sr. and Tony Soprano robbed his floating high-stakes card game, thereby solidifying their status as rising mobsters in the organization. Despite Feech's anger at having been robbed, Jackie's older brother, Richie Aprile, then a high-ranking earner and soldier in the family, intervened on Tony and Jackie's behalf and got them both a pass. Silvio Dante reveals they were also helped because both Johnny Soprano and Junior Soprano were powerful capos under DiMeo.

After his release from prison, Feech goes to see Tony, now the boss of North Jersey, and is given permission to get back in the action. After a power struggle with Paulie Walnuts over landscaping territory, Feech steals cars from Ira Fried's daughter's wedding in Ringwood, New Jersey and sells them to a dealer in Newburgh, New York; Tony is irate with Feech, having previously made it clear that Fried was a friend.

Tony realizes that Feech still thinks of him as a youngster and Junior as the boss, going to Junior about complaints instead of Tony; recalling Richie Aprile, Tony realizes Feech will not respect or fear him. He sends Christopher Moltisanti and Benny Fazio to convince Feech to keep a truck of stolen televisions in his garage, and when a parole officer suddenly appears at his home, Feech is arrested and sent back to prison.

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. He is praised by many people who are unaware of his deceit, only Pontecorvo guesses during a meeting with the same agents.

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 Lawrence "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 fell off a bridge while high that Irish had sold him. Larry and the other capos considered this and other acts 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 and 13 others 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, when Tony's cousin Blundetto kills Lupertazzi family member and Johnny Sack loyalist Billy Leotardo he voices discontent with Tony's leadership, for sending Feech La Manna back to prison and being very "adept at keeping his family members out of the frying pan". When Phil Leotardo viciously beats Benny Fazio who needs hospitalising he does not visit him even though he is Benny's Godfather. During season 6 he briefly considers backing Vito's powerplay to takeover from Tony, but this idea vanishes when Tony manages to pull through. He also calls to "sever all ties" with Junior who shot Tony, at Pontecorvo's wake, he also gives input to Christopher's film with other members of Jersey's crew. 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, though this is only to mitigate his own circumstances, by revealing (falsely) that Jackie Aprile Sr. committed the murder of a bookie to get made in 1987. When it was really Tony "making his bones" with Paulie aiding him, Larry atill loyal to the Family is left in prison awaiting to hear if a retrial will take place.

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:"OK, this is what happened. Some Boy Scouts found the Russian, who had the telephone number to his boss, Slava, in his pocket. They called Slava, who took him to the hospital where he had brain surgery. And then Slava sent him back to the Soviet Union."

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, paramour 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, he fails to ingratiate himself with Tony by mentioning the profits from a job at the strip club angering Tony who reminds him of wiretaps.

Tony Soprano calls him Uncle Pat but they are not blood relatives. Pat's brother Al Blundetto married Quintina Pollio, Livia Soprano's sister.

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.

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 replacing Santorelli (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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. He splits with his wife and mentions to Tony he is seeing Irina his former comare, angering tony who beats him with a belt making him unable to perform.

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. He mentions that Tony has been picked up on weapons charges.

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.

During the infighting, Angelo attempts to negotiate a peaceful resolution, at the request of Rusty recruited his old friend, Tony Blundetto, to murder Joseph "Joey Peeps" Peparelli—an associate of Johnny Sack and member of Phil Leotardo's crew. It appears likely he did not involve himself in the details, Rusty clearly being the shot caller, in a meeting after Joey's killing he appears dismayed at Paperelli's death and counsels that it will only inflame the situation. Following this his prediction is proven correct, Phil and his brother, Billy Leotardo, killed Angelo, after Tony approached John claiming Angelo pitched the idea suggesting that he, John Sacrimoni and Little Carmine operate the family under a triumvirate to help keep the peace, which John outright rejects as did Angelo who wanted to stay retired. Despite Angelo pleading with Phil not to his pleas are in vain. 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. During the series it is mentioned that he has a son, daughter and grandchild.

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. John is annoyed at Infante's ability to communicate through code, confusing business and personal matters. Though he means well, Tony is shown taking advantage of him by not paying for some stuff he purchased for his shop. John asks Infante what people will think of him, after receiving his terminal diagnosis, to which he honestly replies that he was well liked and popular, but changed to a degree when he became boss. His last appearance comes when he travels to New Jersey to inform Tony and his crew of John's passing.

They agree to pay $50,000 for pain and suffering.

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.

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.

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.

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.
