Michael Imperioli

Michael Imperioli is one of those actors whose work I trust completely. Christopher Moltisanti could have been a cartoon thug; instead Imperioli made him pathetic, funny, ambitious, and heartbreaking, often within a single scene — that 2004 Emmy was overdue, in my view. What I admire is the range of his curiosity: he writes screenplays, produces, and then resurfaces in The White Lotus playing a very different kind of flawed man with the same precision. He has the rare gift of making weakness watchable, and I think that, more than any tough-guy image, is his real legacy.
