Summary
I was asked to consult on The Sopranos before it ever aired. I turned it down. The rest is history. Now I’m finally giving you the breakdown nobody else can give — a real former mob boss rating every major character from the real deal to flat-out mamaluke. Tony visiting a psychiatrist? Dead in a week. Christopher Moltisanti? Never should have gotten made. Vito Spatafore? Don’t get me started. I go through every major character and tell you exactly where they’d land in real mob life — and where the show got it right and dead wrong. Learn more about your ad choices.
