he portrayed scenility and such well, and his acting otherwise was okay, too. Keep in mind that it's hard for older actors like him because they don't have the same range of motion, even facially, that younger actors do, so to make it work requires embracing that among other things
Silvio is clearly the worst, he could only do one facial expression for the entire series. There’s a reason why the writers never did anything with his character and give storylines like they did with Paulie, Chrissy, and Vito
This. I mean, he's Bruce Springsteen's guitarist who went to an audition on a whim and just so happened to end up in the greatest series of all time. He plays his character well, but it's obvious he can only do it in a narrow range of situations.

wasnt then the mistake to sign him into such a huge consigliere role?
Every actor unironically works perfectly for the show. They don't talk like normal people but that is exactly how I imagine moronic mobsters to talk and then you see the stark contrast with normal people, who, you know, act and talk like normal people.
AJ is the only actor that's really bad. He doesn't play his role well at all.
AJ really captured what was like to been a teen boy then well. Having Boomer parents was exactly like that except Tony and Carmella would have fought a lot more.
A big part of the show is how much modern mob culture is influenced by media. The Sopranos crew talks like that because they believe they are expected to talk like that based on the movies they watch.
If you ever listen to AJ's actor interviews, it's clear why his character is such a putz. He was a designer drug abusing clout kid who fell upwards into what is considered the greatest show of all time. While Gandolfini and co. were giving it their all, he spent off-season snorting molly and dropping percs. David Chase made him pay in the end though
bullshit. his existential freakout at the end of the bacala sr. episode couldn't have been pulled off by a bad actor. you were filtered, plain and simple.
Silvio and Valentina (chick tony cucks ralph w/) are a different story.
Jamie Lynn Siegler was the weakest out of the cast. Honestly if I was the writer I wouldn't have cast as attractive. I would have probably had her mirror Tony.
She has a pretty expressive range. When she's in bed with a guy she acts all cute and submissive. In social situations she acts refined and mature. I found myself impressed with her acting a few times.
i wasn't too impressed by steve buschemi's performance only because you can't expect much from the people who had never acted before. i would say that johnny sack was probably the best character in that regard.
He is literally one of the best actor in the show, actually he has give third best acting performance in the show after Gandolfini and Carmela, maybe fourth since there is Ralphie, but yeah these 4 gave best performances in the show, and its not even close.
nah, the worst actor was by far this fat frick in see through socks. Any scene he is in his delivery is flat and emotionless. At least Bobby was a bad actor but his charecter was smarter than the actual person so it worked out for him.
Chase was mocking the whole affair. Blubbering over self-indulgent italiano ballads when the people responsible for Jackie's death are stuffing their faces with zucchini flowers.
I guess I'm a sucker for romanticism and sentiment and don't really see the hypocrisy as a bad thing, just a lamentable fact of life. Jackie had to be put down after what he did, there was no way around it. That doesn't make the emotions surrounding it any less meaningful.
Explain why. Juniors song was a beautiful moment in time, and moralistic "analysis" just seems reductive and detached.
Meadow was overwhelmed by the conflicting emotions, but life is full of conflicting emotions. She was just young, whereas everyone older than her already learned to live with the contradiction, like most adults do.
I feel that the editors explicitly making the point via swapping the music was heavy handed compared to just implicitly making the point.
the sopranos was pretty heavy handed most of the time.

Well it was an unusual editing choice that made me ponder, I'll give it that. Having just finished season 3, I have yet to get into all the horse stuff.
One of my favorite editing moments so far is https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=114&v=uwobmOjAyM4
The whole scene, but especially around the timestamp. The beat-matching and song mixing is beyond what I'd expect from a drama, and I was honestly surprised and stunned when I first heard this. Had to immediately go back and rewatch it a few times and that musical transition was looping in my head for the whole day.
His episode on Talking Sopranos put the hosts to shame. Told stories from 70 years ago without skipping a beat, had a wise and illuminating perspective, and was witty off the top of his head. Really goes to show how shit that podcast was when a nonagenarian was running laps around them.
Hey Paulie, remember how I told you 'remember when' is the lowest form of conversation? I was wrong, you found sometin even worse: 'can't remember shit'
every single character in this show was executed good. there are literally no flaws. if you disagree go outside more and observe society. i can't stress this enough. every interaction and behavior is so extremly realistic that even if someones acting is "bad" it still replicates real humans to a T because real people aren't charismatic beings that exist to enthrall you
You got a lot of sense for an old gal
You and Tony Egg again
He's regarded as one of the best though
Go shit in your hat
Imagine unironically disliking Larry David
It's not you junior.. it's a television program.. a movie
Im fodder for frickin shitposters now?
he portrayed scenility and such well, and his acting otherwise was okay, too. Keep in mind that it's hard for older actors like him because they don't have the same range of motion, even facially, that younger actors do, so to make it work requires embracing that among other things
>scenility
he worked for the scenesters union
heh'd and check'd
I want to creampie hunter s on the daily. Imagine that shaved italian pussy and little high school breasts and her begging you to pump a load in her

He did try to get out
>I mean
you mean
But he's pretty good in Lillyhammer
Pretty shallow character for Sopranos standards but van Zandt's acting was really good for a Bruce Springsteen guitarist. Angry Silvio was kino
If it was today they would've trained him to be a whatever, or something.

AJ is a damn good actor, and I'm tired of pretending he's not.
AJ really captured what was like to been a teen boy then well. Having Boomer parents was exactly like that except Tony and Carmella would have fought a lot more.
A big part of the show is how much modern mob culture is influenced by media. The Sopranos crew talks like that because they believe they are expected to talk like that based on the movies they watch.
This is why Silvio is so believable despite being over the top
It's crazy how Silvio works
If you ever listen to AJ's actor interviews, it's clear why his character is such a putz. He was a designer drug abusing clout kid who fell upwards into what is considered the greatest show of all time. While Gandolfini and co. were giving it their all, he spent off-season snorting molly and dropping percs. David Chase made him pay in the end though
Why was my reply to this deleted? Frick you troony janny homosexuals
Silvio and Bobby Bacala are easily the worst actors on the show
You are talking shit! Bob Bacala was a good actor.
bobby worked great
I dunno, knowing what Bobby is like in real life I'd say he was really good at being someone else,
He's on top along with Imperioli and Falco and only behind Gandolfini.
Meadow and AJ were annoying but they were teenagers so their "bad" acting wasn’t a big deal
I found chrissy to be me too
bullshit. his existential freakout at the end of the bacala sr. episode couldn't have been pulled off by a bad actor. you were filtered, plain and simple.
Silvio and Valentina (chick tony cucks ralph w/) are a different story.
YOUR SISTER c**t
Janice is the best actor after Gandolfini
Fantastic bait.
Perfectly stupid yet believable.
The frick? What kind of likeness is that?
moron
He made me cry

> worst actor
>SISTERS c**t

Wut
I guess he means by contrast with half amateurs, buscemi really fell flat, given his experience
>johnny sack
Huh, he was hardly in anything prior to the sopranos, pretty based.
>is actually the worst actor of the sopranos in you're path
He is literally one of the best actor in the show, actually he has give third best acting performance in the show after Gandolfini and Carmela, maybe fourth since there is Ralphie, but yeah these 4 gave best performances in the show, and its not even close.
he's right
not only that, chase wanted him to BE THE LEAD. the fricking lead, can you believe that?
luckily hbo convinced him not to.
What the frick is this moron bait thread, Junior is probably the best actor on the show.
youre runnin off at the frickin mouth you know that?
GATSA MALENGA!
>I beat cancer now I'm gonna beat da can!
>CATARI, CATARI
>PECCHÈ ME DICI STI PAROLE AMARE
>PECCHÈ ME PARLE E 'O CORE

nah, the worst actor was by far this fat frick in see through socks. Any scene he is in his delivery is flat and emotionless. At least Bobby was a bad actor but his charecter was smarter than the actual person so it worked out for him.
the best answer so far, he has absolutely - charisma
also
Johnny Sack and Ralphie deserved to have more of an arc tbh
>muh arcs
Chrissy please, you were never meant to be in hollywood
big breasts small feet
I just finished season 3. It was somewhat jarring how they cut off Jr.'s song with random other songs at the end.
The true performance was the rest of the characters pretending to give a frick.
Chase was mocking the whole affair. Blubbering over self-indulgent italiano ballads when the people responsible for Jackie's death are stuffing their faces with zucchini flowers.
this. it was mocking the mafias hypocrisy. Oops I did it again!
I guess I'm a sucker for romanticism and sentiment and don't really see the hypocrisy as a bad thing, just a lamentable fact of life. Jackie had to be put down after what he did, there was no way around it. That doesn't make the emotions surrounding it any less meaningful.
You're just a fricking idiot
EDIT: I'm trans BTW

Great bait, but I'm not falling for it
