Robert Patrick Rejects Theory His Sopranos Character Killed Tony in Finale

Patrick says he was never told of any finale role, leaving any explanation to creator David Chase.

Overview

  • Speaking to TV Insider, Patrick said only David Chase knows the intended meaning of the show’s ambiguous ending and that he was never contacted about appearing in it.
  • Fans have long speculated that a diner patron resembling Davey Scatino could be linked to Tony Soprano’s fate, but the idea remains unconfirmed.
  • Patrick’s Davey appeared in season 2 as a compulsive gambler whose life unraveled after falling into debt to Tony, a backstory that fuels the revenge theory.
  • Chase has previously said the cut-to-black was not his original plan and discussed an alternative ending in which Tony would be killed after a meeting in New York.
  • Patrick noted he paid tribute to the late James Gandolfini by reusing a line from their Sopranos scene in a season 3 moment on Tulsa King.
