Poor Tony has self-esteem issues.
"You tell people I'm nothin' compared to the people that used to run things," Tony shouts as he viciously beats a victim in one of many violent acts we've seen him perform over the years.
Tony's problem is simple. He wants people to think he's the Godfather, but deep down he's afraid they see him as Homer Simpson. In overcompensating for these feelings of inferiority, Tony has done many very bad things in the past five seasons -- and if he's not careful, it's going to get him killed in the sixth.
Robert J. Thompson is a professor of television and popular culture at Syracuse University. He wrote the introduction to the 2002 edition of Mario Puzo's "The Godfather."
