  • The range of emotions showcased here is amazing; anger, disgust, fear, sadness, joy, contempt, and lil' compassion, all within three minutes. A master class for any actor. (Sopranos 1x11 "Nobody Knows Anything")

    Silvio is the definition of a great consigliere.
    Calm, level headed, smart, and most importantly knows how to tell his boss (hot headed Tony) what they don’t want to hear, but in a way that gets thru, but doesn’t cross any boundaries.
    Great character, and Stevie Van Zandt was brilliant in the role.

    Gandolfini was so amazing in this show.

You can almost see him go from being concerned for his friend to that realization that most likely Jimmy and Pussy are both rats

      in all due respect youd be right if we were talking about joe shmoe * good read though )but tony is a sociopath and so is paulie ( he cant read emotion so he has to establish a base line, as, paulie can sell the truth like tonys anger ). everything is calculated including his feigned anger on tap ( the opera feels good to him like hes alive ) .
      pussy is fair game cause he turned, he knows what pussy did, he read that shit like the morning paper. he just told paulie no one touiches pussy hes MINE. as far as the collar pull is concerned he was trying to see if paulies hands came up defensive then he would have known that paulie clipped him.
      whats a better detail i believe is how in the end they looked at each other and was like you know you were right paulie turned, im sorry skipper. tony was like yeah, i know dont say shit until i sit him down and look him in the eye.

    Another one of Jim Gandolfini‘s best scenes is when he’s just recovering from his shotgun wound and he hast to act tough by taking out his driver in a fight, but then has to go to the bathroom and look at himself in the mirror and vomit and then look at himself and vomit again. Watch his eyes in that scene, he is so damn good.

    I love the subtlety of this scene. You can tell how Tony already knows that Pussy is the rat, but he keeps denying it through his nervous interactions with his crew. He doesn't want to believe and keeps reiterating that Jimmy's the rat. Great acting by Gandolfini overall!

      Madeline Monahan obviously you don't remember Jimmy's reaction in the hotel room when Silvio came out of the closet to whack him and asked if he had his lil radio to call for help. That gave it away that he really was a rat.

      After watching the series over and over I realized there's many incidents where Tony denies something or acts totally childish and scared about something, the first time watching the series I felt more on Tony's side but after a bunch of times how scary and twisted of a soul Tony has and why he's like this

      @@coreydean6540 you dont remember when Jimmy gets out and he goes to Tony's house in the basement he starts acting all weird and starts asking Tony questions about incriminating things and just keeps asking and asking like he's recording him or trying to catch something, Jimmy was definitely also a rat.
