hjs157You're conflating the nicknames of two characters on
The Sopranos. Vincent Pastore starred as Salvatore "Big Pussy" Bonpensiero. Dominic Chianese starred as Corrado "Junior" Soprano (Uncle Junior) and is also known for his role as Johnny Ola in
The Godfather II (1974).

Black92LXBeen a minute since I watched the series but pretty sure Meadow and AJ called him uncle on occasion.
Still one of the greatest TV series of all time and likely will always remain at the top.

oddball"Big Pussy" was named because of his past skills as a cat burglar, also there was a "Little Pussy" in the mix (Uncle Junior wanted to kill him at Artie's restaurant). Meadow called most everyone "Uncle"- Uncle Junior, Uncle Jackie, Uncle Paulie, etc.

P250UA5It's a series that's been on my radar for a long time, but never had the right access to watch it.

sigmonkeyI really liked his character.
Living in Baltimore around the corner from the Eye-tallyons, in the 60s, I knew guys like him.
Big hearted, nice, but you just knew not to overstep the Welcome mat.
RIP Big Pussy.

HRKSopranos was one of the best TV series ever, so well written and the cast was spot on, I don't remember seeing someone cast in a role that didn't fit.
RIP Big Pussy...
