    Jackie had less than 6 minutes of screentime but he made every second count. Really says a lot about Michael Rispoli's acting ability. I can see why David Chase considered him for the lead role because he's such a natural that can portray a wide range of emotions.

      I actually think it wasn’t Rispoli’s acting ability what kept him from the main part. It was his type of personality. His natural swagger if you will. He’s much more of a sophisticated man than the lead part needed. He’s amazing as the natural leader, yes, but the volatile temper of the lead part needed someone flawed. Rispoli just isn’t that.

Not to mention, he was specifically chosen by Old Man DiMeo to be the boss, which says a lot. Wonderfully acted by Michael Rispoli, and it’s a shame that he died so early in the show.

He cried sincerely, and also he got really mad to Jackie Jr. for playing a gangster against his father's wishes.

    From what little we see of him, Jackie Aprile seems a lot more professional than Tony. Compare the way they dress. Jackie dresses like a businessman - like the CEO of a company. Tony dresses like a small time thug most of the time. You never saw Tony wear a tie clip and scarf. Now, compare also their personalities. Jackie seems level headed, calm, and decisive. Even when he's sick with cancer during the sitdown with Junior and Tony, he doesn't get emotional or angry like Tony would during sitdowns. He shuts Tony and Junior open and makes a decisive ruling, while basically giving Tony and Junior the leeway to figure out the details - whereas Tony tended to micromanage EVERYTHING. Tony let his personal feelings about his guys guide his decisions - for example passing Ralph over for Captain because he disliked him, even though Ralph was bringing in money by the truckload. Jackie also seemed to care about his underlings, or at least made the appearance of caring about them- Tony never offered to help out a Soldier financially, and made it clear he didn't give a shit about their lives. When Puss mentions his money problems, Jackie offers him money as Boss. It's a token gesture that instills personal loyalty - The Boss gives a shit. When Gigi mentions his life and money problems to Tony, Tony basically shuts him up.
    There is a clear difference in style, manner and leadership. Jackie was the leader that could've taken the Family's prospertiy into the 21st century. Tony was a thug who became Boss and destroyed it.

They're both cool, calm, yet not afraid to say "no" even to the most senior and highest ranking in their Families. Just the way he says, "Hey. Fuckk him. Is he gonna sit down or not?" He feels the insult but he does not let it show that it bothers him and goes straight back to business. Tony would have had steam coming out of his ears.

      Jackie is a very smart wise character. He'd been extremely disappointed yet He'd understood most thing's. Except, about his son. I don't see guy's like Richie, Ralph or Vito being around very long with Jackie as boss. He'd seen thier problems a mile away.

    The scenes with Jackie Jr and his friend just listening to stories eating spagetti with coke or just deciding to watch a movie whilst eating pizza instead doing something dangerous that night are so heartbreaking. The scenes were set up like that to represent an untainted youth, they were not raised to be mobsters like their fathers before, they were raised to have a normal childhood and young adulthood.
    It's what they were meant to be doing instead of getting involved with the wrong people. It's what Tony and Jackie Sr. wanted for his son. They were kids, they should've been enjoying that, instead they were brutally murdered for extremely reckless decisions.

    Michael Rispoli (Jackie) was also in the running to play Tony. The casting in the show was perfect all the way around. However, it would've been interesting to see some of the alternate choices being considered. Ray Liotta (HBO's original choice for Tony) as Ralph Cifaretto or Vincent D'Onofiro as Tony Blundetto. D'Onofrio bears a closer resemblance to Gandolfini.
