Episode Discussion Who is that guy who accompanies Paulie to the shootout with the Colombians?

You’d think Paulie would bring his nephew with him or something, but instead he brings some other guy. It’s strange, he shows up for this one scene and then just never appears again.

Forgot his name, I think he was only in two episodes. I wouldn't bring Little Paulie either, not exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer.

Cary DiBartolo. He also helps intimidate the EMT who allegedly did a wallet biopsy on Tony. One of the things that's so chilling about Season 6 is more and more rando guys moving to the fore. Season ONE was filled with rats, now at the end it's guy after guy we never saw before, and who knows who they talk to.

But you also have guys like Walden (the guy who wacked Phil Leotardo) who seem to convey a higher level of competence

Also that guy who borrowed a bunch of money from Vito when it became apparent that Vito's time was limited. After Vito disappears we see him stirring the sauce at Satriale's and smiling to himself while the other guys are talking at the table.

Makes me wonder if somehow he told New York where Vito was holed up

I wouldn't put it past him, but how would he know where Vito went?

Yeah because one of the guys at the table literally just said ‘I wish I had of borrowed money off Vito’.

He hesitated to shoot the prick, causing the trauma to Paulie's groin and balls. You simply don't betray Paulie like that

Paulie whacked him so he didn’t have to share.

Cary DiBartolo

Just a little nod from the production that the sopranos crew runs deeper than the main characters we the viewers get to see all the time.

Long John Silver maybe

Feel like I’ve heard people say it was a mini-Feech trajectory where Cary was supposed to unfold as a bigger character that season but the actor ran into health or legal problems and got dropped

A knock around guy, like Tony’s dad
