David Proval previously starred in many films but was distinctly known as Richie Aprile on the mob drama The Sopranos. In the The Sopranos, he played the older brother of acting DiMeo Crime Family boss Jackie Aprile, Sr. He was considered as a capo in the family prior to being sent to prison for ten years. After the death of Jackie, Richie came back to a different mob family with Tony Soprano in charge. Although Richie and Tony had gotten along in the past, tension between the two developed throughout season two. Richie tries to seek approval from other bosses such as Uncle Junior and Ally Boy but his efforts to take over, as boss of the family did not succeed. Richie met his end when he and his fiancée Janice, Tony’s sister, entered into an argument, which led Janice to shoot him twice.
