Was Sylph the most pointless Soprano?

Which one is the most rare?
Which one is the most common?

Most common: Paulie
Least common: Chrissy

Sil was the self insert. You assume he was the guy with the most awareness of the bigger picture. And yes I did make that up based on absolutely nothing.

Is that why he gets shot and put into a coma in the last episode

he got a little time of his own when he was acting boss, the scene with him and his wife talking about his ambitions comes to mind

I guess to elaborate: In the show, Chris is shown as one of most open-minded guys, whether it's about people of other ethnicities, cosmopolitan culture, even social issues (remember Chris didn't care Vito was gay, just thought it was funny). He represents a further generational change in the Italian mob and a further blending with American culture (From Junior, to Tony and his crew, to Chris...)

In most Little Italy's you just get the older, more conservative wops. All the guys who would be more like Chris have moved out and just joined normal American culture. Chris' generation was probably the last that really felt more 'Italian' than 'American' if that makes sense.

I like how they gave him asthma in that one episode to flesh out his character

Even Vito?

I think Chris never said "disthinguvours" or "gabbagool"

I elaborated here but yeah, fair point. Not many open fags in Little Italy. I hadn't actually considered Vito when answering your question. That's another group of wops that just joined American culture at large.

Actually, Chase wanted him to be Tony at first, but Steven declined. Paulie isn’t an actor either, but he pretty much plays himself

Tony Sirico had more acting experience that Steven Van Zandt. Tony got into acting after a group of prisoners-turned-actors gave a presentation at the jail he was in

>Sirico was convicted of several crimes and had been arrested 28 times, including for disorderly conduct, assault, and robbery, before taking up acting.[2][4] On February 27, 1970, he was arrested at a restaurant, and found with a .32 caliber revolver on his person. In 1971, he was indicted for extortion, coercion and felony weapons possession, convicted, and sentenced to four years in prison, of which he served 20 months at Sing Sing.[5][6][7] According to a court transcript at the time of his sentencing, Sirico was the owner of a discotheque in Manhattan, and also had pending charges for criminal possession of a dangerous drug.[5] Sirico has stated that he was visited by an acting troupe composed of ex-convicts during his imprisonment, which inspired him to give acting a try.[8]

>chris didn't care vito was gay
>"I want to kill the fat faggot myself, cut off his dick and feed it to him"

sketchy 70's disco club owner with a significant rap sheet
Now I understand why he acted so naturally while playing a career criminal

What the fuck are you talking about you retard

Chris said he wanted to kill the fat faggot himself, be a fuckin honor: cut off his pishadeel and feed it to him
I thought you meant that Chrissy was a lot more introspective and preoccuppied with the absurdity of life or whatever. His open mindedness depends on the season, in the first one he admitted that things were going to shit because new guys don't respect the old, he was racist towards moolies etc

Carmine: What? Ralph sexted with Ginny?
Johnny: He insulted her. He posted a very insensitive meme about her body to some shitposters of our's...
Carmine: What did it say?
Johnny: Do I have to repost it? Are words not good enough?
Carmine: Not if you want him banned over it.
Johnny: He posted... that she was... a hecking... chonker.
Carmine: It's an outdated post, it was highly newfag. You want, I'll demand he's taxed. But ban him?
Johnny: Is it all just about server-boosts?
Carmine: I'll crack him good. I'll ask for four boosts.

Go watch the scene where they're sitting around the table and talking about Vito being gay. Everyone is furious, and Chris is just fucking joking around. Some of the older guys even get mad at Chris for not taking it seriously. I mean cmon, Chris wants to make it in the film industry, he doesn't hate gays like the other guys do. Chris' homophobia is completely different than the sort of homophobia the other generation felt.

I mean, it's no different than today. Modern homophobes are the kind of people who say "Look, you can be gay, but don't do it around ME." People from 100 years ago would beat the shit out of someone just on the suspicion someone MIGHT be gay.

Chris is all talk in that scene. He's not emotional about it at all. Meanwhile, look at how Paulie reacts. He's literally ready to go drive and beat the shit out of him, he's actually livid.

Sil is middle management

Just because thought it was funny doesn't mean he condoned it or wanted Vito to still be in the family, it was he that told Tony about it in the first place, he literally made a B line to the Bing from his AA meeting just to tell him first hand

So anyway hows your daughter doin.

>>When I came to open up one morning, there you were with your head half in the toilet, your hair was in the toilet water... disgusting.
