List of Characters From The Sopranos in The Lupertazzi Crime Family - Anthony Infante

Anthony Infante

• Played by: Lou Martini, Jr.
• Appears in: "Members Only," "Mayham," "The Fleshy Part of the Thigh," "Mr. & Mrs. John Sacrimoni Request," "Moe N' Joe," "Stage 5"

Ginny Sacrimoni's brother and Johnny Sack's brother-in-law. Infante is an optometrist, but also serves as a reluctant back-channel through which Tony Soprano and Johnny Sack communicate while Johnny is in federal detention. Although the business and etiquette of the mob was alien to him, with coded discussion proving a particular difficulty, Infante made an effort to assist Johnny in salvaging what was left of his command.

When Johnny agreed to asset seizures to lessen his sentence, he had Anthony reach out to Tony to arrange the sale of a share of a company that he was an unofficial partner in. The owners were in New Orleans and, after a difficult first meeting, Tony was not optimistic. Anthony realized the importance of the deal to his sister and family and arranged a more favorable share for Tony to ensure that it would go through.

Anthony was often teased by Tony and his crew in his role as a go-between; they stole sunglasses from his shop and played with him when he brought a gift for Tony and not Sil to a meeting. He also had some difficulty communicating in code with Johnny.

He is last seen in "Stage 5 (The Sopranos)" telling Johnny about Johnny's diminished street credibility, and assuring him that Johnny will be remembered for being a good father and a good husband, which seems to be enough for John in the end.
