Bobby Baccalieri
Robert "Bobby Bacala" Baccalieri, Jr., played by Steve Schirripa, is a fictional character on the HBO TV series The Sopranos. A mobster, he is first shown as one of the soldiers and then later top aides to Corrado "Junior" Soprano. Throughout the series, he rises through the ranks of the organized crime organization, becoming a capo, as well as Tony Soprano's brother-in-law. Toward the end of the series, Bobby becomes an underboss to Tony.
Biography
Bobby Bacalà, unlike many of his fellow wiseguys, was big-hearted and quite shy. He ran Junior Soprano's old loan shark business. Although not officially a captain until much later, Bobby was a high-ranking soldier who ran Junior Soprano's old crew and reported directly to Junior, and later to Tony. Before his death, he was thought to be being groomed for the job of boss, if Tony were whacked or arrested. Bobby was the son of Bobby Baccalieri, Sr., a highly respected mobster (whom Tony Soprano referred to as "a real terminator"), who fronted as a barber. Bobby's father returned from retirement for one last job before his death from lung cancer (actually he died in a car accident right after the successful hit, losing control of his vehicle during a cancer-induced burst of cough), which Bobby found quite distressing. Before joining Junior Soprano's crew Bobby was a head waiter until at least 1986 and was groomed by his father, Bobby Sr. At some point, Bobby became a made man, although without making his bones (committing murder). Bobby was married to Karen Baccalieri until her death and they had two children, Bobby III and Sophia.
