Feech La Manna (Robert Loggia) in The Sopranos

Feech La Manna did twenty years, came home a legend of the old school, and lasted about five minutes in Tony's new world before the world arranged his exit. Watch the video above, then read Feech's story.

Robert Loggia plays Feech with coiled, old-world menace: a made man from the era when a reputation was armor, telling the same prison-wisdom stories at the card table and robbing, pointedly, the wedding of a doctor's son under Tony's protection to announce he answers to history, not to the kid who used to run his errands. Tony's solution is the modern one, colder than a bullet: a parole trap, a bus, a package planted, and Feech is back inside on a violation without a shot fired or a fingerprint left, while the crew watches and learns.

Quick answer: Feech couldn't accept a younger boss or new rules, so Tony set up a parole violation and sent him back to prison, cleanly and permanently.
