The Sopranos

Get the latest photos, news, and more

Adrianna
Relationship to Tony: Christopher's girlfriend
Profile: A Mob wife in training, she stands by her moody (clinically depressed?) man while all too aware of her powerlessness to change his rash, unrealistic ways. Restaurant hostess who aspires to a career in music management.
Played by: Drea de Matteo

Anthony Soprano Jr.
Relationship to Tony Son, 13
Profile: Husky, uncommunicative couch potato (think Bobby Hill animated); mildly delinquent (downloads porn, steals sacramental wine), though sensitive enough to be nervous about Dad's life-threatening gig.
Played by: Robert Iler

Meadow Soprano
Relationship to Tony: Daughter, 16
Profile: Straight-A student, star athlete, and featured choir soloist, she's the symbol of her parents' fumbling attempts at middle-class normalcy (her name says it all). As a result, she "hates being a Soprano."
Played by: Jamie-Lynn Sigler

Father Phil
Relationship to Tony: None that Tony can tolerate
Profile: Vaguely smarmy schnorrer who depends upon the kindness (and well-stocked larders and wine cellars) of local Mafia widows; the priest is Carmela's confessor and frequent DVD-watching houseguest.
Played by: Paul Schulze

Artie Bucco
Relationship to Tony: Law-abiding childhood pal; owns Italian eatery Vesuvio — until Tony secretly torches it to prevent an even worse calamity (that's what friends are for).
Profile: Affable, forgiving — unlike wife Charmaine, a vocal Mafia critic and estranged best friend of Carmela.
Played by: John Ventimiglia

Mikey Palmice
Relationship to Tony: Junior's top soldier
Profile: Dapper (Tony refers to him as Mr. GQ) yet generally disliked for tactless boorishness ("Like the grim f---in' reaper," says a cancer-ridden capo afer Mikey visits him in the hospital). Hates Tony — especially after the latter attacks him with a staple gun.
Played by: Al Sapienza

Christopher Moltisanti
Relationship to Tony: Junior soldier/bag boy driver for his crew; son of Carmela's sister
Profile: Ambitious, immature, with a hair-trigger temper; feels unappreciated (and resents not being "made" yet); devoted to girlfriend Adrianna and his $60,000 Lexus; avid movie buff.
Played by: Michael Imperioli, who was Spider, the gofer Joe Pesci shoots in the foot in GoodFellas; coincidentally (or not), Christopher shoots a guy in the same place. (Also appeared in Witness to the Mob.)
