Sopranos: Silvio - loyal till the end

Bobby's rise was one of the best parts of the show. From waddling fat joke to Underboss.

[@luvfreedom1470]

@Jamie D Joe Beppy Sasso was Junior's underboss.

[@JaseWescott]

@Jamie D you have to KILL to be MADE and Bobby didn't until later seasons yet somehow his character was MADE into the New Jersey Mafia xD.

[@walterwilliamson6174]

MP R a

[@Dr.TJ_Eckleburg]

He did the right thing, made smart decisions, and put in his time. When all the shit went down early in the series Bobby kept his head and showed respect to Tony even though he hated him at the time and was being treated like shit. Then he took care of Junior hand-and-foot even though it cut into his ability to earn, but he didn't complain or look for a payoff, he asked Tony respectfully for the opportunity to earn his keep. Shit like that goes a long way with Tony. Then when Janice came into the picture he married her, which made him family to Tony. Suddenly Christopher looked like way more of a liability than he was worth, and Bobby became the obvious choice for underboss. He's one of the best and most underrated characters on the show.

[@theconsciousobserver6829]

Fat fuck not fat joke....there's a difference.

[@anthonynasti1279]

The very end, with Tony and Silvio doing "Raging Bull" while Bobby looks on with a big grin on his face kills me every time. All the years of friendship and trust distilled into this one scene. Heartbreaking and powerful.

For a man who never acted before The Sopranos. Silvio Dante nailed it... I also heard David Chase thought about him as the role of Tony, before he met James Gandolfini of course.

[@wsuptrick]

the producers wanted him to play tony, but HBO said they wouldn't approve the show if their main character was a guy who never acted before. so they brought in James to play tony

[@samd7476]

I think it was just perfect. I don't think it would of been as good. James has that unique tone and accent in his voice. Just can't hear Steve's voice to sound right for those lines.

[@O.G.H.]

wsuptrick Funny thing is that in the show, during Tonys coma, Silvio told his wife that he was also considered to be the boss of the family despite Tony.

[@tantemarianne7190]

"I never talked with you about my work. Ima tell u something i never told anybody. Back when the Sopranos was made David threw the idea of me stepping up for the Big role. Not James. Me. But I thought: that's not for me."

Silvio Dante nailed it? 😂 Moron.

[@elviejo1997]

In life it's worth having a Silvio in your corner. Someone who sticks with you even when leaving seems like a good choice. He was the most stand-up guy in the whole series second only to Bobby Baccala, Jr.

[@elviejo1997]

***** I get what you mean. If you factor out his morals and some of his actions (killing a woman for her cooperation with the FBI, etc.), Silvio was a great man. Bobby was the least tainted considering he only killed 1 person over the course of the show. You could tell by his personality that he was in the wrong line of work.

Bobby's rise in power in this show is the best example of what Michael Franzese once told in an interview. ''You must show respect to everyone in this life, even if he is the lowest soldier, because you never know the guy you are talking today where he might be in a week or a year.''

Now nearly all their friends are dead/gone, and it's bitter sweet. Amazing scene.

[@nunya1738]

They've gotta be referencing Raging Bull? I cannot remember the music being there or not, but only an iconic Italian thing could pull them out of the heavy moment, and serve to buck them up for the fight, as this did...Lamotta, Deniro, Raging Bulls?

[@neculaiandrei]

Nun Ya btw, i find deniro's jake lamotta his greatest role

[@nunya1738]

Andrei Neculai You are probably right, there. Either way, a high cotton compliment, considering that after Brando, for at least a while there he was thought by many to be the greatest American actor. Now that I think of it, sometimes (more recent movies), if I have any kind of critique of him as an actor, it is that he doesn't appear convincing when he has to cry, at times...maybe just to me (and by the way, it comes from him being SO good, you are looking at some one, little flaw). In Raging Bull, he was of course an angry animal, but I wouldn't make such a claim, as to the sadder moments. Incredible performance. Sadly, younger folks today, they won't even bother to watch a film if it is in black and white. Best to you.

Forever & always will Silvio be my absolute favorite character from “The Sopranos” saga. At first I really didn’t know why I was so Infatuated by this guy Silvio. Then it hit me. It was his Loyalty.

The kind of loyalty that may even surprise the one it has been sworn unto. A guy like Silvio is a dying breed that everyone needs in these Dog Days of Mooks. To Silvio! 🥂

Tangentially, the ONLY two people who were completely loyal to Tony throughout the entire series were the kindly Bobby and diplomatic, yet cunning, Silvio. Furthermore, it was the Russians who ULTIMATELY killed Tony, and most likely, his entire family, in the last episode. In the final scene, the assassin wearing the jacket going into the bath-room was a Slav, and in no way was Italian, and is the, TO ME, only explanation for the enormous plot-hole from Season 3 where the entire Russian situation-the guy got-away and there was never a single mention of The Russians from that episode to the end--just stopped with ABSOLUTELY no conclusion of any kind...until the very last scene. If you could possibly disagree, I very strongly recommend that you go-back and watch the four episodes, or so, with the Russians involved, and then watch the final episode, and you will see exactly what I mean. Also, the "fade-to-black" represented Tony being shot and not even hearing it, and "the lights-going-out" from the shot. There you have it, folks, all in three paragraphs.

[@nitekilla]

ExposingZionistEvil Sure, it's a theory.. and not a bad one, but you can't say it's the truth. By the end of the series Tony had made so many enemies that it truly could be anyone. Revenge for Phil's mutilation comes to mind, among MANY other things... but yeah anyway, it COULD be the Russians. As for the Members Only guy, I personally don't think he looked slavic... he looked just as Italian as anybody in the series. In my opinion he looked like a typical NY soldier/associate and he was probably going to get made after whacking Tony. David Chase in one interview when asked relentlessly about "the Russian" said that he'd like to think he survived but with brain damage and Slava sent him back to Russia to be taken care of. (I'm too lazy to find the link at the moment but I could provide it if you're curious) I've watched every single episode at least 2-3 times so yeah... and as for the ending, I agree... it was made VERY clear that was from Tony's POV, so yeah, Tony was shot in the end.

I love everything about this scene. the beginning where Tony is getting money out of the safe. Looks kinda cartoonish almost. But then the end always hits the feels

[@MoneyMandown]

Everyone needs a friend like Silvio

[@skillet9141]

One of the sweetest “buddy-like” moments in the entire show. Top 5 at least.

[@tonystarks6113]

This was one of the better episodes. The series finale is still my fav but this was good. My only complaint about season 6 is that they spent way too much time on the gay Vito story.

[@tonystarks6113]

Oh yes, far too much AJ as well. I do believe they only used that whole AJ depression thing as a platform to compare and contrast him with Tony. So viewers could get an idea of how differently AJs life would end up from Tonys although they shared some of the same mental health issues. But I totally agree, way too much AJ. His character was so insignificant to the show and I would much rather they took all the time the spent boring us to death with Gay Vito, Anthony Jr and Janice & Bobbys marital issues and fed us some more insight into other things. The inside dealings of the NY family feuds, the investigation by the FEDs, even some good old fashion Paulie shenanigans would have been more entertaining.

[@mckenzie.latham91]

Tony Starks although the whole phil coming out of the closet thing was worth it in my opinion.

[@tonystarks6113]

You mean when he killed Vito right? Or is there a deeper analogy im missing? There are many subtleties to this show that i pick up each year i have my Sopranothon. I kind of watch these youtube videos for the comments because some people pick up on stuff i miss.

[@tonystarks6113]

The beef between Tony and Phil was driven by Phils lack of respect for Jersey and his thirst to consolidate power. Vito and his affair with Johnny Cakes was no "Big Part" in that beef at all. You know full well that the beef would have been incited by Phil whether or not Vito and his gay lifEstyle was exposed when he was outed. I felt like the Vito stories slowed down the sixth season so much that i find myself FF'ing through it during my Sopranothons and sometimes even wanting to skip entire episodes. They made up for it in the end though. Blue Comet and Made in America are 2 of my favorite episodes.

[@5280PolotheKid]

+Tony Starks I was happy when aj was getting along with the Jasons, he was partying , back at college, and seemed like he had some potential in him to maybe become a associate and be tooken under his father's wing...... but then he returned to that little whiny bitch lol

[@youclogthemweclearthem2394]

Sil was a true friend. "And he got his answer " was some cold shit Tony should have listened to Silvio a little more.

[@ArturasDzeikas]

Amazing episode, amazing scenes and definitely amazing actors... I always loved the relations between Tony and Silvio...

[@williamwilson7857]

What an emotional scene. This is why Sopranos stands above any other series or even movie. Everything is perfect and real in this scene, from conversation to boxing movements at the end, to music following emotions what they experience. It is like we have been sitting next to them...

[@SerraPontosSoc]

"BURT!?"- Tony Soprano "Measures were taken"- Silvio Dante

[@bengermanbrowne4378]

raging bull music implies tony n silvio watch that movie since kids and it touch there hearts cuz now they know things are really serious and they both could die yet they still joke about it...

[@christiancharles309]

"Measures were taken"- Silvo Dante

[@marks.6480]

My favorite Sopranos quote after "You have to nip it in the bud".

[@ronanlynam3238]

Man oh man, what a show I'm 47 now and that show is like yesterday, jeez this tiktok generation now will never appreciate what a true piece of art this show really was.

[@solephonic]

raging bull at the end. they just cant resist...haha. best show ever.

[@andreww5574]

personally my favorite scene in the series

[@rebeccaaustin3065]

Silvio was the coldest of them all. He DEFINITELY was loyal to Tony!

[@kaveman1021]

The Raging Bull bit at the end was one of those unspoken moments that made this series. A man and his two most loyal friends.

[@anthonyanderson9303]

I always impressed with how far up the ranks Bobby climbed by this point in the series. Shame he had to go out the way he did.

[@12345balla12345]

He was playing both sides of the fence with New York...I immediately thought of Paulie. I

[@RFJersey]

12345balla12345 The older members were disloyal to Tony because he was disloyal to them. He passed over more qualified members when he promoted people like Bobby and Christopher.

[@SantomPh]

@@RFJersey Bobby was ultra reliable and a closer family member to Tony once he married Janice. You keep your family real close in this thing, even when others are around that seem more qualified. Paulie was a veteran but incredibly foolish- no legitimate income to distract the feds, attacking civilians like Jason Barone, failing to kill Phil Leotardo, being a jackass in public and not dealing with most of the internal issues a suttocapo is supposed to be dealing with. Bobby never let Tony down even when he wasn't with Tony formally and took care of Junior better than anyone could. Chris on the other hand was true nepotism. While he was a family relation he was promoted ahead of his time and even gained Paulie's captain rank when the latter was in prison. He was good, but he had to have more time and effort. Benny got his button by enduring, among other things a beating from Phil that was unwarranted.

[@dunndorr5651]

@@SantomPh hmm, good points!

[@obiwanfx]

if you didn't notice, the music at the end is the same from the ending of the godfather 3 when michael relives the good times with the women in his life. The last episodes were so full of foreshadowing of the inevitable end

[@scottyboy9141]

I’ve just watched this clip and walked around the construction site with the strength of 10 men 💪🏽 Special mention to Baccala and Silvio…..real loyal men to the end ❤️

[@tonyaccardo3052]

it's hard today to find such loyalty in men one of my favorite scenes 👍

[@thaistomp]

True gangsters.

[@davidleonard7439]

"So....buddah?" The most POWERFUL part of this whole scene....its taken directly from The Godfather, after Tom comes back from California and they are talking about meeting with Sollazzo.... Vito asks Santino what he thinks about them moving in to drugs and sonny says "it's a lot of money in that white powder" ...then Vito says "Tom..?" Vito (the Don) asking his consigliere and underboss for their insight and opinion on making a move... because he values their wisdom. This scene shows that Tony has the SAME exact respect for his consigliere and underboss, as Vito did for Sonny and Tom. This is the most brilliant scene of the WHOLE series

[@JayCity10]

From fat fuck to Budda in 5 seasons.

[@kingjohnboy1963]

Wow lots of emotion here. Every one here realize's that this is a clip from a tv show right? Great clip! Thanks for posting it robt1985!!

[@sonnydemetro3750]

It’s funny how the little things are so great about this show like we are wondering if Tony is going to realize that Silvio did it and then he looks at his hand and realizes it that’s what took this show from being great to the best

[@BenSmith-eh5zp]

"and he got an answer" I love Sil.

[@Mr.BeastFacts]

I love how they committed to the Raging Bull reference by packing on the weight, too!

[@TheGentlemanGamer]

Flatbush Bikini Waxing was my favourite character on the show. I wish they'd done more with them.

[@cbm3]

"Crista fell off her shoes last night", this show is the best comedy ever written

[@toolover10]

You can tell Tony and Sil have been good buddies for a long time in this scene.

[@mst3KGf]

"He thought you'd be a part of it?" "And he got an answer." Nice. Perfectly sums up Silvio's loyalty to Tony. He's the perfect consigliere; wise, level-headed, loyal and with no aspirations at being the boss. Hell, the time Silvio had to fill in as boss when Tony was shot, HE ended up in the hospital with that panic attack.

[@AJ-sq5pl]

"and he got an answer"....booom!

[@oldschooldogy316]

Every time I see this all I can say is amazingly beautiful.

[@toolover10]

I love the fact that Bacala is so significant in the later seasons. Tony asks " so Budda" LOL

[@treehousedaremix6766]

WHEN THEY START SHADOW BOXING AT THE RESTAURANT TABLE OUT OF NOWHERE TO A CLASSICAL TUNE PLAYING OVER THE SPEAKERS... #PRICELESS💯

[@markwest4033]

By far, without question, my favorite character ever on this or maybe any show, save J.R. Ewing. Silvio was loyal, smart, cool, smooth, loved his kids, and would never, ever go against The Soprano Family. Ever. And he is part of the EZ Street Band. Awesome. Cars.
