Corrado John Soprano, Jr., played by Dominic Chianese, is a fictional character on the HBO TV series The Sopranos. Usually referred to as "Uncle Junior" or "Uncle Jun'", he is the mentor and part-time father figure for mob boss Tony Soprano. A younger Corrado sometimes appears in flashbacks and is played by Rocco Sisto. In the opening episode, Junior planned to kill "Little Pussy" Malanga in Vesuvio, a restaurant owned by Tony's friend, Artie Bucco. Tony tried to prevent this, eventually resorting to fire bombing the restaurant to force its closure so the hit would happen elsewhere.
