The worst of the major characters on the Sopranos by far, he could be removed from the show completely and it would detract nothing.
The worst of the major characters on the Sopranos by far...
agreed from a plotline aspect but i liked him anyways.
I really don't think there's any benefit to keeping you around, faggot.
He was the rock, the straight man, maybe not the most interesting character but was important to the team dynamic
he's the level headed voice of reason so he was necessary to the family. He was also comic relief whenever something crazy came up since he's so stoic about it.
didn't he kill adrian though?
They should have given him less retarded hair and mannerisms then
Tony killed her since it was his order to.
OHHHHHHHH
that's not bobby though
I have le anxiety, ton'
Don't make me kill dat little baguette...
why didn't tony kill him after he beat him up? weird how forgiving he is
that shaved twat belongs to him tho
They did.
Just when I thought I was out
Would have been interesting if they had a decent actor playing him. Van Zandt's lack of acting skills is glaring compared to Gandolfini playing Tony, Sirico playing Paulie, or even some of the minor characters like David Proval playing Richie and Dan Grimaldi playing Philly/Patsy. He just doesn't feel like a real gangster and he has no emotional range - every scene is the same scowl and exaggerated mannerisms
He just doesn't feel like a real gangster
I thought he was fine. He was more of a businessman as opposed to a street-tough guy since he ran the strip club. Not all mafia guys are scary psychopaths. A lot of them were just regular guys who focused more on business stuff while the low-IQ members did all the muscle work.
He held his own in a couple scenes. Like when he tells tony he has a problem with authority
Dude is so ugly its unreal
Say what you will about the guy, he had the best OHH in the entire series.
youtu.be
That clip shows how shitty they were to each other when they are not trying to be all bullshit family mobsters. They eventually kill more of each other in the end. Same as the niggers.
insane how this was his first acting role. he nailed it
He probably gets as fat as Tony by the end
I liked him and his acting was fine in the show. Theres many other characters that are worthless dogshit like AJ, Meadow, Janice, Jamal Ginsberg etc
They should have given him your sisters cunt.

Filtered, embarrassingly so.
We get it, you have a disabling porn addiction, specifically to interracial porn. Your favorite scene is when meadow gets dick downed by a Jew nigger. What did David Chase mean by this? Are all Italians niggers anyway like le based "True Romance"?
AJ is an S tier character
AJ is by far the worst character
FUCK you
I think that's a wig, right?
I love that about him. It makes his character feel more unique and above all this shit. You never even see him lose his cool except during the card game and when he slaps Tracee, twice over seven seasons. He's great in the two parter where he takes over as acting boss while Tony is in the hospital too.
There are much more egregious examples of bad actors being outclassed in the show (Meadow, AJ, Hunter, Jackie Jr, Albert Barese immediately come to mind). Compared to them, Van Zandt is Oscar caliber.
you're a wormy cocksucka, you know that?
one of paulie's all time funniest lines
He unironically had the best hair, you fat balding orangutan.
Silvio despite being the worst actor of the main bunch had plenty of great moments, he ripped on people effectively and hard, he was a solid consigliere, his status as a hitman was perfect with that Adrianna hit probably being the top hit of the show, telling off the strippers was good, and he would've been fun to lead the family a bit longer if they didn't do that pathetic asthma attack shit
(Meadow, AJ, Hunter, Jackie Jr, Albert Barese
Everyone on that list except Albert is a child.
You're saying the only people worse than Sil are children.
Pathetic.
It was a "fair enough" fight, and it was only witnessed by Carm and Janice. Plus he was married to Janice. Tony's not a complete monster. it would've made him out to be less nuanced had he killed Bacala.
AJ and Janice's acting is fine.
Silvio is supposed to be an autist obsessed with mob movies to the point of becoming their caricature. His clownish attire and hair are exaggerated mob movie stereotypes. His scowl is a Robert DeNiro impression. His speaking demeanor is an imitation of movie mobsters. He's even known to recite scenes from mob movies that he has committed to memory.
This is the behavior of an autistic man. Silvio is emotionally detached except for sudden and unexpected bursts of unprovoked rage. He reads books about household cleaning and uses krazy glue to fix various broken junk items around the office. He obsesses over keeping his hair and costume pristine. He melts down when faced with more than routine responsibility. Silvio is autistic.
AJ is pure kino
They added a lot to his character when they let him be acting boss for 1 episode and he had a cardiac arrest lol
this guy would've got his lights punched out
he perfectly encapsulates the younger generations and their faults and insecurities
This fag too
Vito was great when you weren't watching his crust get busted, even the whole drunk driving homicide scene was an instant classic
The series was circling the drain by then. Vito was just another crew member until he must have been approached by writers to see if he would like to become a fag to appeal to more of HBOs viewers. Chase must have been catching heat for the fags and niggers comments and decided to throw in a queer and have AJ date a woman of color.
kek
Actually, the actor who played Vito suggested the gay arc to Chase
Probably because he's a selfish prick who loves the attention
Sil represented competency and viciousness. Wrapped up in a kind of goofy package.
For me its youtu.be
Chrissy always had some strong "OHHHH's, same with Paulie
This is literally it. Also the first few episodes of season 5 gave a lot of airtime to vito losing weight for no plot reason.
Nah, he's the essential quiet rock of the group. Like Ronnie was on The Shield. Once Tony / Vic fell out with all their close friends ( Pussy / Lem, Chrissy / Shane etc... ) it was Sil / Ronnie that were there as the anchor. Having these kind of dependable characters who inevitably get fucked over at the end of the series is an essential plot device that helps conclude the protag's arc
hes ok, meh consigliere, better side character
the gay shit was not very good but the build up of his character from being a guy laughing at the construction sight, to best earner, to trying to subtly usurp Tony before he went on the run was a fun sequence of events to follow, he felt like a real person for the most part
It was a strange way to kill off a character. Plus, I doubt that many fans of the show wanted or approved of watching a mob guy turn into a fag and then follow his gay fireman story.
the worst character was tony
the whole show is garbage
immoral dregs made by kikes
The writers did they best they could with what they were given, but in later seasons AJ plots were very limited by Robert Iler's range.
Unfortunately you're always rolling the dice with child actors.
He's the one character who doesn't have some retarded scheme or personal thing going on that makes him a detriment to the crew. Yeah he can be a hotheaded retard but that's every single one of them. I always enjoyed his scenes because I knew it was going to be a straightforward discussion about what was going on.
