In short
Christopher Moltisanti is a character of the HBO series The Sopranos, played by Michael Imperioli. Issue.16 of the Agency editorial names him once and says nothing about the character himself. When the edition gathers quotations from the cast to introduce James Gandolfini, the second is credited to Michael Imperioli, with the note that he portrayed Christopher Moltisanti. The actor says: "Jimmy treated us all like family with a generosity, loyalty, and compassion that is rare in this world." The edition takes these tributes as a sign of the love, humbleness and work of Gandolfini.
