Corrado John "Junior" Soprano Jr. , portrayed by Dominic Chianese, is a fictional character from the HBO TV series The Sopranos. Usually referred to as " Junior " or " Uncle June," he is the official boss of the DiMeo crime family for most of the series. A younger Corrado sometimes appears in flashbacks and is played by Rocco Sisto. Corey Stoll portrays a young Junior Soprano in the 2021 prequel film, The Many Saints of Newark. Dominic Chianese's performance as Junior was universally lauded.
Junior is depicted as being smart, old-fashioned, stubborn and insecure about his power. Although Junior is portrayed as bitter and deceitful in season one, he shows a more considerate and humorous side of himself in the later seasons and reveals a more sensitive aspect of his personality during his illness and house arrest. According to series creator David Chase the name Junior was taken from one of his cousins. Chianese landed the role of Junior over Tony Sirico who plays Paulie Gualtieri, and Frank Vincent who plays Phil Leotardo.
