Persona: Tony

Name: Tony Gandolfini

Occupation: Retired, former CEO

Age: 60

Tony is a 60 year old retiree; he recently retired as CEO from “The Pamily Corp”. The company brought Tony all the things he always wanted; money, fast cars, fast women, meat and whiskey. However the stress and conflicts of the cutthroat and competitive nature of the job took its toll on Tony, he suffered from regular panic attacks and subsequently regularly met with Dr Satnam Melfi who was his psychiatrist. Tony contemplated retiring many times, but every time he tried to get out, they pulled him back in!


Tony’s wife passed away after a freak accident with a Horse! Ever since, Tony has changed his ways, leaving his previous work and responsibilities behind and devoting his life to religion. He left behind his MEAT eating and Alcohol guzzling ways and is now a strict vegan.


Tony has 2 kids, Mobbdeep and Van HelSingh, both have been well educated and live in New York with successful jobs, leaving Tony on his own in his mansion in New Jersey. Tony feels ever increasingly lonely, but his new found faith in religion has enlightened him.


Cooking and meeting with his friends are Tony’s main hobbies to keep active. He enjoys his food, being of Italian descent he is very adamant on fresh organic foods. Tony regularly gets his friends Silvio, Paulie and Chrissy round for a meal, some pro evo and some friendly banter.


After years of not looking after himself, Tony is overweight; his newly found love for Bhangra is difficult for him, as his knees cannot take the pressure of his fat ass. Tony enjoys spending far too much time sitting in front of his plasma screen TV on his lazy boy, watching pointless programs that he downloads off his laptop, which he constantly uses to go on Facebook and poke people. Consequently his back, hip and knees are weak, and he has RSI as he spends for to long on his laptop. His love for all the latest technological advancements with LCD screens has seen his already poor eyesight deteriorate even more.
