How the Cast of Compares to the Original Characters

Twenty-something years after the events of The Many Saints of Newark, Tony Soprano is in his therapist Dr. Jennifer Melfi’s chair. Over the course of The Sopranos, Dr. Melfi spends hours, days, and years digging through Tony’s childhood trauma with him, trying to determine what triggers his panic attacks, and how it all began.

Finally, we have an answer.

Who made Tony Soprano? asks the movie poster of The Many Saints of Newark, the highly anticipated prequel of perhaps HBO’s most iconic show of all time. The film offers its answer by way of a glimpse into Tony’s childhood and teenage years, in which he is impacted and influenced irreversibly by his family, his city, and his surroundings. Michael Imperioli is the only actor who reprises his Sopranos role in the prequel, as he narrates the film as Christopher Moltisanti from the future. The rest of the cast is new—some brand new, and others younger versions of beloved Sopranos characters. Here’s who’s who.
