The Sopranos cast — where are they now?

His performance as Tony Soprano has been lauded as one of the great feats of acting, and James Gandolfini was heralded by those who worked with him. As well as his role in The Sopranos, James had a successful career on Broadway with performances in A Streetcar Named Desire and On the Waterfront. After the hit show, James had roles in films like In the Loop, Zero Dark Thirty, and Killing Them Softly.

Sadly, the great actor passed away from a heart attack aged 51 on June 19, 2013. Nevertheless, his legacy and his work on The Sopranos has echoed throughout film and television. Bryan Cranston said that his Breaking Bad character, Walter White, would not have existed without Tony Soprano. Meanwhile, Brad Pitt called him a "ferocious actor, a gentle soul and a genuinely funny man."

Carmela Soprano's actress Edie Falco has gone on to star in a number of hit TV series, including Horace and Pete, Law & Order True Crime, and Impeachment: American Crime Story.

She appeared in Avatar: The Way of Water and will reprise her role in the third instalment of the franchise.

After her iconic portrayal as Meadow Soprano, Jamie-Lynn Sigler has gone on to have roles in Entourage, Ugly Betty, Guys with Kids, and Big Sky.

After she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis aged 20, Jamie-Lynn has been an outspoken advocate for people with the disease, even hosting a podcast with Christina Applegate to discuss their experiences.

Prior to his role as Christopher Moltisanti, Michael Imperioli featured in the likes of Goodfellas and Bad Boys.

Since he played A.J. Soprano, Robert Iler has avoided the spotlight. He moved to Las Vegas to pursue a career as a professional poker player, dealing with substance abuse issues following the show's finale. He's been sober since 2013, and in July 2023 he started a podcast with Jamie-Lynn called Not Today Pal. 

The actress revealed that she has remained close to her on-screen brother, calling him her best friend. 

"He's my kid's Uncle Rob," she told People. "He spends Thanksgiving and Christmas with me and my family every single year. He followed me to Austin and moved there."

Following her success as Dr. Jennifer Melfi on The Sopranos, Lorraine Bracco went on to narrate I Married a Mobster, and starred on Rizzoli & Isles between 2010 and 2016.
