List of characters...
Anthony Soprano, Jr. is a character in the HBO TV series, The Sopranos.
Usually just called "A.J.", played by Robert Iler, he is the son of mob boss Tony Soprano.
Despite being the son and namesake of Tony Soprano, A.J. is really just a constant source of teenage grief for him and Carmela. A very poor student, he crashed Carmela's car, smoked marijuana at his own confirmation, stole communion wine and got drunk, vandalized his school swimming pool, and was finally expelled after cheating on a test. As a result, he was almost sent to military school, until it was discovered that A.J. suffers from the same panic attacks that plagued his father and grandfather. Instead, he has been sent to another private school.
Tony and Carmela simply can't figure out what to do with A.J. Tony has no desire to groom him into a position within his organization and his poor study habits have left him very little in the way of potential post-high-school opportunities. This coupled with his borderline ADD and his parents' separation has further exacerbated A.J.'s near-constant rebellion. In the fifth season of the show, A.J. displayed an unexpected interest in pursuing a career in event planning, but this may be just a passing whim.
