Tony Soprano
Tony Soprano is a fictional character and the protagonist in the HBO television drama series ''The Sopranos'', portrayed by James Gandolfini. The Italian-American character was conceived by ''The Sopranos'' creator and show runner David Chase, who was also largely responsible for the character's story arc throughout the show's six seasons. The character is loosely based on real-life New Jersey mobster Vincent "Vinny Ocean" Palermo (born 1944), a former caporegime (capo) and ''de facto'' street boss of the DeCavalcante crime family of New Jersey. Considered to be the model for the Soprano family, several incidents involving the DeCavalcantes were incorporated into ''Sopranos'' scripts. Bobby Boriello portrayed Soprano as a child in one episode and Danny Petrillo played the character as a teenager in three episodes.
In the first season, Tony is a capo in the DiMeo crime family. Between the first and second seasons, he is promoted to street boss, a position he retains until the sixth season; his uncle Corrado "Junior" Soprano is the official boss up until early on in season 6, but has little or no actual power. Throughout the series, Tony struggles to balance the conflicting requirements of his "two families" is actual family: wife Carmela, daughter Meadow, son A. J., and mother Liviaand the criminal organization he heads. He often displays behavior traits characteristic of a violent sociopath, but also struggles with depression and is prone to panic attacks. He seeks treatment from Dr. Jennifer Melfi in the first episode, and remains in therapy on and off up until the penultimate episode of the series.
Gandolfini garnered enormous praise for this portrayal, winning three Emmy Awards for Best Lead Actor in a Drama Series, three Screen Actors Guild Awards for Best Male Actor in a Drama Series and a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor – Television Series Drama as well as two additional SAG Awards for Best Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series. His portrayal of the character has been cited as an influence on other cable TV protagonists, including Vic Mackey, Don Draper, and Walter White.〔Roush, Matt (July 1, 2013). "A Soprano's Swan Song".

==Influence==
Following Gandolfini's death on June 19, 2013, Gandolfini's portrayal of Soprano was praised for its influence on subsequent other TV characters. ''TV Guide'' columnist Matt Roush stated, "Without Tony, there's no Vic Mackey of ''The Shield'', no Al Swearengen of ''Deadwood'', no Don Draper of ''Mad Men'' (whose creator, Matthew Weiner, honed his craft as a writer on ''The Sopranos'')." Similar testimonials were included by his costars and colleagues; Bryan Cranston, who stated that his ''Breaking Bad'' character Walter White would not have existed without Tony Soprano.〔
