If only he'd been Tony's heir to the throne, son he never had instead of Crissy

[@jbach7274]

By comparison: Chrissy seems like he's further down the trail, along with being pre-destined to addiction via both of his parents. As well as one of them being quite literally absent due to his untimely death. Christopher not having a father is portrayed so well. He's cursed in more ways then one from the get go, so many ways in fact. Almost by default, he's pressured by Tony into handling way more responsibility than he was ever made for. His father's almost mythical reputation casts a shadow over him too; in Tony's eyes, Chrissy is supposed to be the potential of being the mobster Dicky was. But all Chrissy ever had to look up to are these myths & legends, that cement his father as this flawless figure. As so many of those who grow up without guidance, he will never know the man he only recognizes through these tales. along with that, he will never know how the man lived, loved, and moved through the world. He will never know the hardships, nor will he know how he handled them. Chrissy is without a shadow of a doubt, one of the most depthy characters in the show.

His parents came from Northern Italy, so naturally he speaks Northern Italian as a second language. Northern Italian is quite different than it's southern counterpart. So the Italian actors gave "Corky" a crash course in southern Italian so that it sounds somewhat right on the show (but I guess it wasn't perfect).

@@joshuasaltzman2403but Corky fulfilled all his roles flawlessly (other than his wacky Italian). The fact that the hit failed had absolutely zero to do with Corky. That was, I believe, Paulie and maybe Patsys fault.

Corky has come a long way since buying up all that property to build a football stadium in that jet li movie. I always wondered what happened to him after he took off in the helicopter at the end.

[@antoniousai1989]

I can tell the actor speaks proper Italian, cause even though he was born in the US, he has an accent from Lombardy; you'd think a person would not get it directly, remarkable.

[@FF-js4kj]

No , he speaks in Neapolitan , a dialect of southern italy

[@antoniousai1989]

@@FF-js4kj Man, I'm Italian, he's not speaking with a Neapolitan accent, he's speaking Neapolitan with an accent from the north. Also, the actor is originally from the North, the father is a Milanese poet and he lived in Milan too.

[@ever5529]

come on, he can't speak Italian

[@gunreddy]

@@ever5529 Says who? A lot of Italians are saying he speaks good Italian, the father of the actor is Italian and the actor Edoardo Ballerini also grew up in Milan. I'm not Italian but I speak a bit of it. In my country there are loads of Italians and I've interacted with a lot of them in my old job. His accent sounds pretty good

[@ever5529]

​@@gunreddy dude, come on, you may know some Italian words, but you don't know the language. Here Bellerini is speaking Neapolitan, not Italian, even thought he kind of mixes up the two languages. I am Italian, born and raised in Naples, I can tell if somebody speaks good Italian and Neapolitan or not, and he just can't. Be honest, you don't know Italian or Neapolitan, that's why you think his accent sounds good.

[@xneapolisx]

These aren't accents, or variations of modern standard Italian (which is based on the language of 13th century Florence), they're completely different languages. I am from Napoli and if I met someone from Sicily and we each spoke Neapolitan and Sicilian respectively, we wouldn't be able to understand one another. Same goes for people from Venice and Florence. It's not a North vs South accent. It's languages. When you go to school in Italy you learn standard Italian. On TV, movies, mass media, etc, they all speak standard Italian, which enables someone from one region, North or South, to understand the other. This is a VERY complicated subject matter, but it is interesting. ARRIVEDERCI (Italian) STATEVE BBUONE (Neapolitan) 😂
