Tony Soprano- A powerful Capo in the New Jersey mob. After having numerous anxiety attacks, due to his two familys, the legitamite and illegitamite, pulling him in two different directions, he decied to see a therapist. (Dr. Jennifer Melfi)Scince this is forbidden by the Mafia code of omerta, he must do this secretly without his Uncle Jr finding out. Carmela Soprano- Carmela, Tony's wife of 18 years, is the mother of Anthony, Jr. and Meadow and has a large helping of stress on her plate, too. Being a mob wife isn't all money, maids and Mercedes -- Carmela's well aware of what Tony does for a living, and that knowledge can be tough to live with. Meadow Soprano- Meadow is Tony and Carmela's sixteen-year-old daughter. She's an eleventh grade honors student who plays volleyball and soccer, is a featured soloist in the school choir, and frequently displays more worldliness than her parents are comfortable with. Anthony Soprano, Jr.- Tony and Carmela's second-born, Anthony, Jr. is a garden-variety suburban adolescent: a worshipper at the Nintendo altar who is the apple of his mother and grandmother's eyes, and the bane of his older sister's existence. Livia Soprano- Seventy-year-old Livia Soprano is the widow of Johnny Boy Soprano and the mother of Tony and his two sisters. Since Johnny Boy's death -- and subsequent canonization by Livia -- she has lived alone, a situation that worries Tony greatly Corrado "Junior" Soprano,- Uncle Junior is Johnny Boy Soprano's older brother. He's the kind of uncle who took Tony to ball games and played catch with him when he was kid. But he's first and foremost an old-school mobster who gets a serious case of agita from the younger guys coming up. Christopher Moltisanti- The son of Carmela's cousin, Christopher is in Tony's crew. Tony loves him like a son, even though hotheaded Chris is an expert at pushing his uncle's buttons. Although Chris wants nothing more than to be a made man, he spends too much time behaving like an immature thug. Detective Vin Makazian- Makazian is a New Jersey police detective who can�t seem to cover his drinking and gambling habits and two alimonies on $40,000 a year. To make ends come closer to meeting, he does free lance investigation work for Tony. Pussy Bompensiero/Silvio Dante/Paulie Walnuts- These guys are the core of Tony's crew -- lifelong buddies who eat the same food, drink the same wine and can quote Godfather movies like scripture. Artie and Charmaine Bucco- Artie and Charmaine are the proprietors of Vesuvio, a restaurant popular with individuals in Tony's profession. It's a insular bunch -- Artie is a childhood friend of Tony's, and Charmaine has been friends with Carmela almost as long. Hesh Rabkin- A trusted advisor to Tony's father, Hesh continues to provide valuable counsel to the Sopranos. He's Jewish, making him the only member of Tony's inner circle whose family doesn't hail from "the boot." For this reason, he cannot be a made man. He was a record producer in the payola '50s. Dr. Jennifer Melfi- Jennifer Melfi is a calm, thoughtful Italian-American psychiatrist who says yes to a referral and ends up with none other than Anthony Soprano in her waiting room. To say that her sessions with her newest patient are outside her regular clinical experience would be something of an understatement. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
