Actor Michael Imperioli plays the role of Christopher Moltisanti. His father Dickie Moltisanti was murder when Christopher was still a toddler. Tony Soprano, the Mafia Boss in New Jersey had always looked up to Dickie, so out of his affections for him Tony has always taken care of Christopher.

Once when Christopher was not all that certain that the Mafia way of life was the path for him he though about going into the movie business. He wrote a screenplay, but later threw it away, but Adriana kept a copy of it and encouraged him to peruse it. He tried to peruse it, but he only ended up being used by a couple of people. When Tony found out about his movie interests, Tony gives him an ultimatum. The Sopranos or his other interest and he chose the Sopranos.

When Adriana told him that the FIB had approached her about being am informant and that if she didn’t persuaded him to turn on Tony Soprano then both of them would be going to jail.

He even claimed that he had done it for Richie. Richie could not believed what he was hearing and in response chased the guy out of his home and unto the street.

As Christopher lay in the hospital, surrounded by family and friends, Tony was also sitting there in disbelieve that Christopher of all persons was shot.
