TV Deaths

Tony Soprano on The Sopranos

HBO

We can speak frankly here, right? We’re all adults. Tony Soprano died at Holsten’s. And if he didn’t (but he did) he would have died soon after, at the hands of some other Members-Only jacketed gunman. Live by the sword and gun, die by the sword and the gun.

Sopranos creator David Chase more or less confirmed Tony Soprano died, in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, 15 years after the Sopranos finale aired: “What was annoying was how many people wanted to see Tony killed. That bothered me,” he said.

Look, we all have to go sometime, and there are worse ways to end it than eating onion rings and listening to Journey with people you love. Tony Soprano had one of the more peaceful TV deaths, in a way.

And while we miss James Gandolfini, we enjoyed seeing his son — Michael Gandolfini — play a young Tony Soprano in The Many Saints of Newark.
