I agree with most of these posts on the grounds that the guy who played Richie Aprile did an excellent job at the role. Plus, he could easily pass as a mafioso.
However, Richie's character was a jerkoff motherf*cker. If he would have got a pass into season three, I would have been pissed off. Richie Aprile definitely played a good asshole. That's why he was such a good match for Janice Soprano.
