Over the course of six seasons, that acclaimed HBO drama introduced us to several dozen members of New Jersey's powerful DiMeo crime family, including its brilliant and fascinating kingpin, Tony Soprano, and the various uncles, cousins, rivals and lovers who fill out the engrossing drama of the character's fraught, volatile life. Billed as a Tony Soprano origin story, it instead focuses largely on Dickie Moltisanti, a close friend and associate of the family who, seeing great potential in Tony, takes the young Soprano boy under his wing.
Tony Soprano
"The Sopranos" begins as the respected but beleaguered Jersey mob boss Tony Soprano enters therapy to get a handle on a series of increasingly severe panic attacks. Son of Dickie and distant cousin of Tony's wife, Carmela, he's considered part of the Soprano family, usually referred to as Tony's nephew.
Giovanni "Johnny Boy" Soprano
Giovanni "Johnny Boy" Soprano, Tony's father, died of natural causes in the late '80s, before the events of "The Sopranos," and is glimpsed in the series only in flashbacks; one of those flashbacks is restaged in "Many Saints," with Jon Bernthal now playing the Soprano patriarch in place of the show's Joseph Siravo.
Corrado "Junior" Soprano
A perennial thorn in Tony's side, Corrado Soprano, better known as Junior, is Johnny Boy's brother, and partly helps raise Tony while Johnny Boy is serving time.
Janice Soprano
Sister to Tony, and daughter to Johnny Boy and Livia, she's resented by Tony as the family's golden child, much spoiled and doted on.
