Sopranos Star Reflects on His Shocking Send-off
About a year ago, I found out that Christopher was going to die. [Sopranos creator] David Chase told me. He told me how it would happen, and I thought it was a great idea. It was very unexpected and revealed a really interesting and twisted side of Tony's character.
People think it was unjust of Tony to do that to Christopher. But I think it was good, because it's easy to forget that these characters have a very vicious and ruthless side to them. People fell in love with these guys, especially with Tony — they see him with the family, and they see him being this loyal boss. But there's also this side that is selfish, greedy and violent. I think it's good that when the sun sets, that's going to be one aspect of how he'll be remembered.
