Poor Ralphie Cifaretto

The next season of The Sopranos will inevitably feel a little hollow to me without actor Joe Pantoliano, aka Ralphie Cifaretto. Some people I know rejoiced at Ralphie's - ahem - disappearance into drug rehab, but his crass, obnoxious, wildly entertaining character added a certain comedic element to the show that was missing before his arrival. Time Magazine seems to agree, for Pantoliano made their People Who Mattered 2002 list in hilarious fashion. I can only hope the photo isn't Photoshopped, for it must have been a blast to shoot. (Note the spilled breakfast on the floor)
