I made a change to correct the list of t.v. crime bosses with respect to "The Sopranos". Richie Aprile and Hesh Rabkin were listed as bosses. This is incorrect. Corrado (Junior) Soprano and Antonio (Tony) Soprano 'shared' the role of boss, with Junior being more of a 'figurehead' and Tony being the true 'hands-on' boss. After dementia made Junior ineffective, the sharing of power stopped, and Tony was the recognized boss. The highest rank that Richie Aprile attained was capo (caporegime). Hesh was an advisor to the family, particularly to Tony. Even though a consigliere is sometimes referred to as an 'advisor', Rabkin did not have the authority or powers of a consigliere. Silvio Dante was the Sopranos' consigliere.

Al Capone? edit

Yes, he was a a character in The Untouchables, but he was in fact a real person and, therefore, not fictional. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.57.70.12 (talk) 02:00, 4 April 2010 (UTC)Reply
