There may be no show in the history of television that changed the art form more than The Sopranos. It ushered in an era of brooding antiheroes and complex, serialized storytelling that still thrives today, with an ever-growing roster of imitators (a few worthy, many not).

Michael Imperioli is a very well-known individual largely for some of the iconic roles he’s had throughout the years and the performance he’s managed to turn in regarding some films. In many films he either plays a criminal or a lowlife but in others he does play far more positive and authoritative characters. In his younger years he was kind of th...
