Silvio Dante | Loyal Until The End | The Sopranos 

*How should Tony have handled the Tony B situation?* ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6xA-pCijjlg.htmlsi=XdCymnn5tllptp_O

Silvio left us too soon. In his 50s, was just a kid.

Silvio was the most level headed out of Tony’s crew. He’s not a hot head. He’s just a stone cold monster

Silvio is the best. Steve's screen presence and line delivery was exceptional.

"Just when I thought I was out, they pulled me back in"-Silvo Dante

Sil was always one of the best, loved him like a brother in law.

Silvio was the most loyal guy on the show and gave Tony the best advice

When he cracks Dom with the dust buster is fantastic

I found Silvio's on screen & SVZ's Real Life Wife to be the most alluring, drama-free and the best significant other of the entire cast most comfortable with that life. She certainly helped with his reserved demeanor.

I wanted a Borko clip. I compromised. I watched Cineranter instead.

Loyle to the end

I've said it before, I'll say it again, till the cows come home. Little Steven, Miami Steve, spent the previous 25 years, touring with arguably the best rock band in the history, then migrates across the entertainment industry into one of the most iconic roles in television, flawlessly. Truly one of the greats. His work to be cherished for decades.

Silvio and Artie were Tony’s only true friends

I love the scene where Silvio looks at Tony with his very droopy eyes and Tony goes “what?! Don’t give me that look!!” Lmao

Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in

My favorite character. I even watched Lillehammer because of him

Silvio had the Christopher Columbus episode where he “caused dysentery in the ranks”.

He always reminded me of the guy who used to play guitar with Bruce Springsteen. Silvio was my favorite.

When T called him out his response was perfect: "I'm sorry you feel that way".

I can imagine that the italian patriotism was written for Paulie, you can see glipmses of it in the coffee shop bit with Big Pus. "Italians, how we miss out on this, Cappucino, Americano, we invented this stuff"

My favorite character honestly. He was simple but profound. He understood his assignment. And was perfectly fine in that roll to the end 💯

He's a Riker, a Trotsky. An administrator, man of action, man of the troops, maintains a balance between truths and egos. Definitely the perfect middle management, as you said

I think the Columbus Day thing perfectly suited Sil. We know very little about the guy, his opinions and here were see him saying “I’m gonna take action here”… i think very interesting add on to the character

Nice comprehensive analysis. Syl’s an old fashioned mobster in the mode of Neil Dellacroce, good at overseeing the traditional blue collar rackets, but not an earner on the level of Ralph or having the vision for something like Webistics. He’s also shrewd in withholding his opinions until others have spoken, as in the matter of Vito’s adverse pharmaceutical reaction. What an encore career for Little Steven.

What a lot of people seem to miss when describing Silvio as a "cartoonish" caricature, is that Van Zandt actually played Silvio a lot more subdued in the first season & really only started being more exaggerated/animated in the following seasons.

Another Sopranos character analysis? JUST when I thought I was out, THEY PULL ME BACK IN

I miss Silvio 😢

That hair though

Silvio never did anything bad in the entire show when you really think about it. He even recommended a good moisturizer to Paulie.

Silvio was the closest friend tony had in the life by far.

I never saw it as the character Silvio was wearing a wig, the actor Van Zandt was, but not Silvio in my eyes.

It's great that Silvios wife is his wife in actual life too, and she also had no acting experience either but she did really well.

Silvio was always loyle

Great character, I said my peace Chrissy!!

Silvio is one of my favourite characters in the show. I was so gutted at the end.

*Sylvio was just SO stereotypically italian, it was almost racist but he was super creepy because he only had ONE facial expression...* 😂

My favorite character analysis you've done in a while!

When Syl gets ambushed he has time to get his gun in his hand before he gets hit. Chris would have shot both attackers dead in that time.

don't forget the scene where he goes to "collect" Tracee from Ralphie's house. He keeps his cool inside the house of another wise guy, but as soon as she shows him attitude, just outside, he beats her pretty hard

Chase being a huge music fan and a drummer loved Van Zandt’s music, as he said in a commentary for the episode where ‘Precious’ by The Pretenders is playing (like most used likely his choice), ‘I queued up to buy that album on the day it came out……I wasn’t a kid, I was 32 years old’. So that might have been an influence in getting Van Zander, with the meta touch of one of his tracks (as a favorite of Gloria as she writhes on top on Tony), playing with the volume turned up by her.

Silvio was one of my favorite character in the Sopranos lol, him and Paulie were so well acted. Truly a legendary cast all around for the Sopranos tbh.

Sil was my favorite person on the sopranos no question

“Still going this asshole” 😂 best way to end it

Silvo was the realest mod friend Tony had by far! Loyal, capable, experienced, a great number two

Excellent presentation & character breakdown

Sil was my favorite character, always wanted to see more Sil.

Probably my favorite video you’ve done thus far. Excellent work

Very accurate association between Sil and Jay💯

Really loved the character Silvio, wish they did more with him.

Silvio is my favorite character in the series.

i absolutely adore how you drop random lines from the show into your presentations

This is easily one of your best essays. Your insights into Silvio's strengths and weakness demonstrate incredible attention to detail. I've already watched the whole show twice. The observation where you point out Silvio's ability to be both vague and direct, saying exactly what he needs to say to every situation is the type of thing that gets me longing for a third pass at the show. I never considered that in the conversation between Tony and Sil after the floor tile fiasco, Sil made it clear that passing over Patsy was a bad move. You really have the gift of analyzing literature.

Phew,,Wow that was one of the best analogies of my guy sil that I've ever heard !!! Im impressed

Idk of its cuz im drunk but this vid is extra fascinating bc its so tru watching it 4 times thru w lots of youtube compilations n ig accounts between n i love it keep it up

Yeah everyone needs a Silvio on they team

Always with the scenarios

Silvio Manfred Dante. The best mobster out of everyone in the show.

Keep these Sopranos videos coming

I adore your videos. Makes me want to watch season 6!

My favorite character

Fantastic video

Sil was always one of my favorites but i’ve never been able to quantify why until now, this is a great character dissection dude

Cine, you are the only English guy allowed at my table. Salute to you sir.

My favorite character of the show....a great number 2

Excellent character review

Silvio’s letter at Christopher’s intervention is one of the funniest scenes of the show

What Soundwave is to Megatron.

They should have done more with Adriano. He was my favorite character on the show.

Great vid, mate!

Love it!🎉

Silvio is actually my favorite character he's what I think of when I think of a mobster

Excellent analysis of my favorite character of The Sopranos. Personally, I like the fact that Silvio is an enigma, I like that there's a little mystique surrounding his character and it suits what his position in the family is, too. The consigliere position is one that is a little mysterious and shadowy since their job is to advise the boss and administration of the family and to keep their ear to the ground as far as what's happening on the street with different factions and families. It's also not uncommon for them to have strong ties to the legitimate world as well as be the liaison with other families.

"NSL" my goodness 😅 CR your pronunciations are everything ❤❤never change

I always considered Silvio one of the few grownups in a gang of overgrown children _(including_ the boss).

damn this is a good video.. you make me want to rewatch the show lol

sil was one of my fav characters

Silvio is the Tom Hagen of The Sopranos

Being out in the open w/o muscle was crazy for Sil and Bobby

Level headed (unless he placing bets)

Brilliant 👏 done

Whatever happened to Gary Cooper? He became Silvio Dante 👍🏻

You are so funny! I wish your videos were longer.

When he moved to Norway, whatever happened there.

I love the way you weave sopranos jokes into your commentary. Freaking Ernest Hemingway over here

15:53: Intelligent, very accurate analysis. ...and you get a gold star for the correct usage of the term "controlled rebellion".

Only guy who respected "this thing." And even agreed with Ralphie on a lot of rules being broken, against him/his favor.

My favorite character and I have same personality and loyalty

Best character

I loved his character, you need someone like this in your team. You can rely on him and he’s level headed. Steve was great in Lillehammer too.

I just watched lilyhammer and wow. I like to think its a Sequel of Silvio's life after The sopranos. wonderful series

His position was perfect. You really needed something done, by most trusted, that's the man

One of my favorite scenes is the one with Silvio and Tony in Tony’s basement during the floor tile incident.

God, Sil is my favorite character by far. I love him and his pouty bull dog expression. He is so cool.

Sil during the intervention is hilarious.

Sometimes his acting does feel a little over the top and annoying - especially the facial expressions in earlier seasons. His character at that time almost felt like it wouldn't be out of place in the Dick Tracy movie (the one starring Warren Beattie).

According to some sources, the Consiglieri is a sort of labourers' representative who is elected by the soldiers, not appointed by the Boss. Obviously, that might have changed during different eras of the mob and may only be true for some families, but it's an interesting idea when looking at Sil, especially looking at the floor tiles incident.

Gary Cooper asks whatever happened to Silvio Dante 😂😂😂

The scene of him paying of Irena is gold too

Well done

"HE'S ALWAYS LOOK UP-TIGHT."
