      Fun Fact: Some of the cast, including Jaime Lynn-Sigler thought the show was a musical, because of the name "The Sopranos". Because of this, HBO wanted to change the name to "Made in New Jersey" but David Chase insisted on The Sopranos.

    Hesh is played beautifully by Jerry Adler with a warm friendly vibe that makes him seem harmless.
    But he's not just hanging out with the crew due to their history, friendship and for pure profits. He's there for the action too, Tony even says it at one point. He didn't mind people getting beat up (or worse) over their debts to him. He was a player just like all the other scumbags, he just didn't have muscle like them.
    For Hesh, the action is the juice. For reasons we couldn't comprehend or codify!

A sociopath would be angry the lost money. He felt broken and kicked ralphs ass because of him killing his gf. He even knew he had to hide to the real thruth and instead say he disrespected the bing.

All these examples you are giving me about Tony feeling emotion do not change anything as sociopaths can feel emotion too. He is not an extreme case of sociopathy for all these little moments you are listing, I can listen to numerous instances of Tony being sociopathic, including lying to everyone all the time, repeatedly cheating on his wife, killing people, beating people, intimidating union officials, stealing millions of dollars, and killing his family and friends because they were no longer of use.

      I love his back taxes storyline and how it is resolved. It perfectly illustrates so many key character traits (Junior's insecurity and manipulability, Hesh's pragmatism, Tony's loyalty at the time), it organically fills in some of the laws of their world (implications of the boss' absolute power, the importance of perception/saving face, the ritualistic sitdowns). We get a sense of scale of the Jersey operations (revenue wise) that a boss can collect $250k on a whim, we see how tension between different factions plays out, the hidden role of New York's interests, and a worked example of how Junior's reign is being stage-managed by everybody else to placate and nerf him. All flowing naturally from Hesh's unique insider/outsider role in the crew. Easy does it, laddie buck!

    Tony used his debt to Hesh like a weapon. One of the cruelest bits of Tony’s personality is the way he treated Hesh in the back half of the show. Not that Hesh isn’t a tragic character-being an outsider among outsiders because of his Judaism, and trying to succeed but also knowing and being reminded subtlety almost all of the time that he’s not one of the guys and can never be, puts him in a lot of danger at all times. It’s like swimming with sharks. And once Tony owes him money, because it’s Hesh and not someone like Phil, he instantly loses respect for Hesh and starts to resent him. Tony’s evil really comes through in all those scenes where he makes Hesh feel guilty and threatened, even though Tony is the one in the wrong.

I know Tony's character progresses even more evil than it begins but he shoots the idea down in the car when Bobby and Carlo bring it up, as he is truly hurt Hesh wouldn't come with them because Tony obviously realizes that Hesh scared of him. Hesh was never made to feel belittled until Tony started with the jokes. The rest of the time he was a top earner in the crew as a respected associate and an advisor. He wasn't just some hang around guy or punching bag for everyone.

    • @2serveand2protect
      @2serveand2protect 11 месяцев назад +1

      @@StepUpMedia039 "Boardwalk Empire" was great! - very true. I'm guessing the main difference is that "Boardwalk" started as a major project from HBO from the get-go, with a multi-million dollars budget. "The Sopranos" was "the hit of the century" but it started as low-budget project, and few were expecting it to score big. I still rank this one little "higher", but there's no denying that the early 2000 had some of the finest series ever! PS. I've always thought that two actors from "B.E." would have been great in the "Sopranos" aswell (even though the "Soprnos" came earlier!). Vincent Piazza ("Lucky" Luciano in the "Boardwalk") and that other guy who played "Gyp" Rosetti (I always forget the actor's name! - he played a minor role in "The Irishman") - they were just f**ng BRILLIANT! - THEN - Michael Shannon, Michael Pitt and Ivo Nandi were also great. SOME of them were in both series like the guy who plays "Butchie" here (Johhny Torrio in "B.E.") ...or "that f**ng animal Blundetto"! - he makes me hyperventilate and feel like I'm closing to a heart-attack each time I try to say his name!... 😄
      PS. If you look at the "Sopranos" cast - almost all of them within the first two seasons were "cheaper" or "B-series Actors". Michael Imperioli and "Paulie" Sirico were known (but not "big") for minor roles in some "mob"-movies ("Goodfellas", HBO's "Gotti" & others) - but NONE OF THEM - NOT ONE! - was any "superstar"! They even took guys like Steve Van Zandt, who was - basically - a musician, trying to do "something different" - all because they couldn't cast any "estabilished" actors for FINANCIAL REASONS. Then! - ALL OF THEM! - after just 3 seasons - were so well known, that you if you wanted to cast them in a movie, you'd have to spend millions. Look at Vincent Pastore, whom they killed in the - as far as I recall - second (?) season, but (in one way or the other) he always "loomed over" them all, in the later episodes (each time they watched the sea ...there he "was"! ). "Sopranos" was such a hit & it made such a "splash", that when it landed, they had to phone him (Vince Pastore) back and pay him additional fees, JUST TO PREVENT HIM for asking more money from the studio, later on in the years, even though he wasn't even actively playing any role no more! 😂 ...and THEY WERE RIGHT! - he could have done it easily! They scored a return with a 30 or 40 x "factor, on the intial budget, for Heaven's Sake! Within a few years Vince Chase - a guy almost no one knew - became "a huge name", and when they proposed a MOVIE - they gave him the steering wheel and "carte blanche" for any money-cheque! He could have written ANY number he wanted for the "Saints Of Newark"! ...IMAGINE THAT!
      ...AND ...for one reason or another ...I just didn't like the movie!... Watched it TWICE and STILL cannot bring myself to like it.

    Thanks! I found Hesh to be a very interesting character..I never knew exactly his role in the family. Hesh was funny..he could be like a kindly Jewish uncle-but he had no problem using violence.

      It’s called an associate. He has some money and they have the muscle to collect. That vig just carries the interest. It does jack shit on the principal. And 1.5% a week is still 78% apr. Which is why hesh wasn’t worried about the vig. Tony had made him far more through the years.

    Every day i kick myself for having waited so long to finally getting around to watching this show. Whether you think its the greatest piece of television ever or just very entertaining if flawed in parts, its thrilling and engaging through and through. I'm feeling things for people that do horrible things and I don't know how! But now, "I get it!" Rest in peace to every cast member no longer with us.

    Massive G's faceoff with Hesh was one of the show's most compelling plotlines. I can appreciate that it was left open-ended but I would have liked to see where the conflict and Massive's lawsuit would have gone.

    In the “Talking Sopranos” podcast they revealed that Jerry Stiller was the first choice to play Hesh. I love Jerry Stiller, but Jerry Adler killed it.

    Hesh was a clever businessman and in his own way loved Toni but in the end Toni destroyed that friendship has he destroyed all his relationships really even with his family and I think Toni knew once he killed Phil that New York would come after him it was just when
