Gerardo "Gerry" Torciano, was a protégé of Phil Leotardo, also known as "the Hairdo," due to his coiffed hair. Torciano appeared to handle the street business of Phil Leotardo's old crew, as Acting Capo, during Phil's accession up to underboss. Torciano got into an altercation with Hesh Rabkin and his son-in-law Eli over business being done on the crews territory. Torciano's men burned them out of their car, beat up Eli, and slugged Rabkin. As Eli fled he was hit by a car and hospitalized. Later, Torciano apologized to Tony, claiming that he thought Eli was a civilian, and made restitution for his injuries. Torciano attended Allegra Sacrimoni's wedding and listened to Phil's discussion of Johnny Sack's apparent weakness when he was dragged away in tears.
He was made in 2006. A celebratory dinner was held for him at Nuovo Vesuvio attended by members of the DiMeo and Lupertazzi crime families. Torciano accompanied Leotardo on his visit to New Jersey for the Feast of St. Elzear and later accompanied Leotardo to a meeting about the new Tidelands construction project. Dominick "Fat Dom" Gamiello and Torciano murdered Vito Spatafore in his motel room while Leotardo watched. In 2007, Gerry died at the hands of gunmen (on orders from Faustino "Doc" Santoro) in a New York City restaurant while dining with Soprano Consigliere Silvio Dante and their respective dates.
