    In terms of acting chops, Furio was easily one of the top three best Sopranos characters on the show. In fact, 14 years after the final season, I guarantee there are _STILL_ some Sopranos fans, and even non-fans, who think Federico Castellucio, the actor who played Furio, was a genuine "off-the-boat" Italian with poor English and a strong accent lol.
