[@seewhativescene]

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.

The dude speaks very weird Italian, a bizarre mix of northern and southern dialects so that's probably why they're so interested and ask where he's from. The actor who played the Italian talks about it in the comments of another KZbin video. Also his partner is an American actor who is speaking his Italian phonetically but apparently did a very good job.

@@chrisgionas4012 I too remember the Corky actor who commented on his Italian speaking ability in another yt video. 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). Casual viewers aren't going to pick up on that anyway though.

So last Christmas I had spent all my money for Xmas on my newborn baby I was short on money for a gift for my fiancée and I reached out to Edoardo Ballerini (guy why plays corky). I asked him and a few others from the cast of the show and asked if they could make a video for my fiancée for Christmas and he responded a few days later with the video and I’ve never seen my fiancé so happy, it was truly a Christmas miracle lol.

Christopher’s sobriety what ever happened there

[@pennystocklocks]

He's weak

[@willnailer2118]

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.

[@adzarsenal39]

Poor Merissa, Rusty was supposed to call her

[@cheefboss9896]

In the Ukraine too we love pork, ever had our sausages?

[@LuDimezofKush]

Not sure if you are promoting a gay reference or you are for real. Is Ukrainian sausage legit?

[@CiccccciO]

@@LuDimezofKush it’s a reference to Emil Kolar, but instead of Czech, it’s Ukraine given the scene in the video

Moral of the Story: Don't trust a junkie to proposition another junkie to carry out a hit.

[@moemanncann895]

Not entirely fair, you've mistaken me for yo-yo mendez from Essex County

[@clairehills29]

Funny

[@laza6141]

What do you mean ? They whacked Rusty , he did a good job.

[@Burnthealphabetpeople]

It was Paulies fuck up not him and the junkie is more Italian than any soprano crew member

[@joshuafult84]

it didn't matter really because Phil was hiding out already. The italian immigrants would have to stay for weeks looking for him

*The Italian hitman #1, he's italian with a Neapolitan dialect. The italian hitman #2, he's American. The actor, he's obviously American but learnt Italian from southerners, he's got the calabrese/siciliano drawl*

[@chipsoprano9737]

Like a bat on a hill. The writing for these characters cant be matched

[@dondajulah4168]

I get diarrhea when I get a KZbin notification that Borko uploaded a video

[@bellzebub9863]

If corky wasn't a junkie he'd probably be a capo or something

[@TheBest-sd2qf]

It's like his entire personality changes when he starts speaking Italian

[@FarrYaweh]

Christopher never had the makings of a varsity heroin addict.

[@joshuafult84]

he actually did he never overdosed lol

[@tyjans370]

Patsy falling asleep, whatever happened there

[@shesaiddestroy000]

The guy's italian accent sounds like an undercover cop from northen italy try to fit it among mafiosi lmao

[@cordellvandermerwe536]

Chrissys nose is so versatile. Can be used as a natural canopy as well as an efficient vacuum!

[@mRipX]

corky wasn't your average junkie, he knew who the players were

[@chaoctic7278]

Someone had a theory he came from an informant family in Italy that’s what he wasn’t down to give up his hometown

[@mike20ak]

I wish this actor had a bigger role.

[@user-py8tf7fz8p]

Corky is one of the D’Alessio brothers in Boardwalk Empire, thought he looked familiar.

[@petitmal]

ignatius!

[@chunkymilk]

Corky Caporale was my favourite character. wish they did more with him.

[@chriso1776]

I’ve seen every episode many times now, watched it live when it aired. This is my first time I realized Chris says “took off like a bat on a hill”

[@michaelbenjamin2625]

He said out of hell

[@angelsunlight]

Corky is so gorgeous

[@hisdell]

In light of recent humiliations, let me just say it’s an honor, to be joined by mayors of Munchkinland

[@billm.3868]

Borko, I gotta to say, you have by far the best Sopranos channel on all of KZbin! Keep 'em coming my Serbian friend!

[@meztizo_americano86]

I wonder whats french Canadian for "Vito rides up the Hershey highway"

[@mikec42]

I always thought Corky was also the baseball cap guy that Tony confronted in Artie's restaurant.

[@jackieboy3968]

You got them confused? That really burns my ass

[@KingBobCat]

If Richie hadn't run Rocco Dimeo out of Essex County, Crissy could've called him instead and none of this would've ever happened....

[@RichWeigel]

He did have a reputation I will say that. But not after Richie got through with him.

[@waseem7195]

He died of alzheimers though didn't he

[@ajbahus]

I liked Chris’ unofficial season 6A crew of Murmur and Corky

[@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.

[@gabrielbaynunn2418]

His adult daughter lives with his mistress😂

[@keldonmcfarland2969]

The Italian-American speaks Ukrainian to his daughter who lives in the same house as his mistress. It's a complicated arrangement

[@huaijiutv]

Some lawyers coming over from HBO, paying a visit to a guy from Serbia. Who? The little guy in Borkzone Bork.

[@grahamroy910]

“I gotta go” is a great final line. That man is probably in starting a new life in Edmonton or Alaska

[@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) 😂
