I swear this show gets better with age and each time I watch it. They've been on rerun on A&E @ 8am EST here and I have been watching since Season 1. Season 6 is almost over now.
Anyway, who was your favorite supporting cast character over the years? You can't pick guys like Sil, Paulie, Bobby, Junior, Chris or people who've been in each and every season and have been in a ton of episodes.
Personally, I am/was a huge Johnny Sac fan. I loved when he would get into it with Tony and also when he wanted to clip Ralph. He was the fuckin man
Also, I liked Butch, who appeared in season 6 as part of the NY crew. He was the guy that was always getting in Tony's face and was always there with Phil and Albie (the fat guy with glasses) when Phil was having his discussions. In the very last episode, Butch gave the go ahead for Tony to clip Phl, but didn't give up a location.

Yeah, I've been a forever fan of the show, this show and LOST are my all time faves.
Seen every episode about 10 times, and I fucking love the genius of Chase and the awesomeness that is every single character.
I am a big fan of Johnny Sac too, I especially just loved the fact who he was and how he was introduced - him being Tony's long-time friend, a bridge between NJ and NY and all the dynamics of his character. Kinda liked the way he always stuck up for and loved his wife despite how all his people didn't really have that kind of respect for their wives, and if they did only when it suited them. It was refreshing and different.
Other supporting characters I liked...
Phil Leotardo - dialogue, actor
Lil' Paulie - funny as hell
Hot timing, started watching the DVD's from season 1 again the other night. I think Sil will always be my favourite character.

Chris or Paulie for me, mainly for their lines. They are def the best pairing also. So much shit between them lol.

I really need to get this on DVD. I think I totally missed season 4 (which ever one it was that Paulie was in prison).

Yeah rewatched the first two seasons a couple of months ago with my brother who had never watched it. Like blew me away. Even though I still <3'd it the first time I saw it, that was like almost 10 years ago so I def "appreciated" it way more this time around. Fucking incredible. Going to rewatch the rest soon.

Also hate Johnny Sac. Something about his face. Extremely annoying.
I dunno, hard to pick a favorite supporting character. I liked the whole Jackie Aprile Jr storyline but not really his character specifically. Ralphy was pretty great.

Always had some fucking smug look on his face. Hate people like that.
Just remembered the storyline where he was all sensitive about his wife being fat. Amazing.

Every single Mefli/Tony scene is gold.

Yeah lol, that whole Ralphy with the joke thing, lasted even till after he was dead when Tony wanted Paulie to admit it was him who told Sac about it, quality stuff!

The best Johnny Sac moment was after Tony's cousin killed Billy Leotardo and wounded Phil, .....Tony and Chris had a sitdown with the NY Crew and John was like "If you don't deliver your fucking cousin to me, I will bring down a shit storm on your family like the likes you've never seen"

Also, I asked the question I did because this is now my 3rd go around watching the show and I'm starting to know all the characters by face and it just adds to the enjoyment of the show.
Guys like Larry Boy Barese, Gerry Torciano, Rusty Milio, Dino Zirelli, Gigi Cestone and that lot whom you kind of glance over at first

Junior had some funny moments.
Moments no one else prob thought were funny. In season one when the feds come to arrest and indict him, he simply looks out the window and says, 'Fuck'.
And who can forget when he fell in the shower, 'YA SISTER'S CUNT!'
Johnny Sack was brilliant. He was at his best in seasons 3 and 4 when he brokered the deal between Tony and Ralph and then playing Iago to Paulie's Othello.

I loved it when he was literally going bat shit having to put up with Carmine Sr trying to get Tony on board for taking him out.
Ralphie was also brilliant, but obviously like, seriously psychotic.
For some reason find it hilarious when Silvio is slapping Tracey around outside and Ralph is looking from the window and pissing himself :'(

I used to love Ralphie, but I've seen a rerun of some episode a couple of days ago, where he was getting fucked with a strap-on by Tony's sister, and it was kinda disturbing.
Really enjoying the scenes between Tony and his mother this time round, fucking great stuff
