That is great acting by Al Sapienza. He's got a swagger as the boss's wheel man, lighting up that cigarette like he can just hear Cab Calloway in the background, probably comparing himself to Lucky in his early years. Just seconds later, Tony sneaks up and shatters his fantasy. Insults him in a way that a boss's wheel man wouldn't expect to be insulted. He's pretending not to be angry when it's obvious he is. The forced laugh. "Yeah, I'm alright...you alright?". Just perfect. Everyone involved with this show brought out their best. They focused more on the little things than commercial tv would ever allow. We're all lucky for David Chase and HBO.
