In short
Silvio Dante is a character of the HBO series The Sopranos, played by Steven Van Zandt. Issue.16 of the Agency editorial names him once and does not describe him. Among the quotations from the cast that the edition uses to introduce James Gandolfini, the fourth is credited to Steven Van Zandt, with the note that he portrayed Silvio Dante. He says: "I have lost a brother and a best friend. The world has lost one of the greatest actors of all time." The edition says that being missed like that can only come from the recognition of Gandolfini's love, humbleness, work and sacrifices.
