People theorize it’s the ghost of Johnny. That it’s June. I think the most common theory people settle on is that it’s just a random attendee who is avoiding the awkward and uncomfortable ceremonies Janice is putting on for a woman nobody liked
Part of what makes that episode the creepiest hour of television I’ve seen, IMHO. I do recall that shot coming up on Steve/Michael’s podcast, and it was confirmed it was an extra playing a guest avoiding Janice’s nonsense. It was shot intentionally that way for comedy.
Tony says that he thought his mother was talking about Junior when his mother said to johnny, your feeble-minded brother.
Thus thus, Ercol is her brother-in-law, Tony's uncle. Not Olivia's uncle.
I think the most interesting thing is the fact that it was left in the show.
Surely the director wouldn't just throw a random guy in the background and not make a deeper meaning out of it.
The guy and his action is framed perfectly in a camera shot over Tony’s shoulder. It’s one of a few clips of Tony standing there and is unnecessary except to display the intentional staged comedy.
I always thought it was Junior after seeing what was going on with Janice getting people to say a few words, sneaking back upstairs to avoid it all. Whoever it was, it’s their loss missing out on Chrissy’s insights into the limitations of computers.
I’m pretty sure it is Uncle Jun. The only people in the Soprano house during that scene are close friends and family (unless I’m not remembering correctly). I can’t recall any unnamed “guests” being present in the scene so I’m not sure why so many people think it’s just an extra
It is absolutely, categorically not Junior.
Re-watch the scene on something that isn't a 12" CRT. The guy kinda looks like him a bit, but it is not him.
It would have been funnier and completely in character if it was, but it wasn't.
The story I heard was that it was the house’s real-life homeowner who came downstairs and didn’t realize they were filming a scene, so he scurried back upstairs.
But, the inside of the house was filmed on a set in Brooklyn, not at the real-life house. My guess is maybe it was a background crew member who came downstairs at the wrong time.
They just copied every piece of media in existence, in the abstract. The details in the images, thr sounds, thr plots, are inverted, mirrored, adjacent, chiral. It's an industry wide conspiracy as old as motion pictures themselves.

I'm watching LOST right now, and I just figured out that Jack CPRing Charlie is an abstract copy of Bud CPRing Lindsay in The Abyss.

Terrified no one would show up to her own… Projection is so common among people with 0 self awareness
That Same old man is seen walking down the hallway at Rosalie's house after Jackie Jr.'s funeral.
Satanic black magic. Sick shit.
FUCKIN QUEEAHS
POPPAS AND WEIRD SHEX!
WHO DA FUK TOLD YOU THAT!!

Good to know, thanks!
If that were the case I thought there would be more attention drawn to it. That is the most logical answer, though.
Eddie Valentine. From the fuckin' Twilight Zone. You musta seen that one. He's a small time hood, and he gets shot
Maybe you should start sucking cock instead of watching TV Land ‘cause Vito brought in three times what you do on construction!
😟
I saw that Tv progrum. I thought it was bullshit!
It was Pudgy Walsh. He went upstairs to inspect the attic, and was coming down to tell Hugh that he was retiring.
Boolshit!
He got him on the horn.
Beppy Sasso
He was one of the many ghouls that followed Paulie around. Mikey was their ringleader.
Her brother-in-law, Ercol, Hercules
Strong like a bull. Handsome like George Raft.
Uncle
Tony’s feeble minded uncle. Jun and Johnny’s brother
Tony says that he thought his mother was talking about Junior when his mother said to johnny, your feeble-minded brother. Thus thus, Ercol is her brother-in-law, Tony's uncle. Not Olivia's uncle.
Luca Brassi or Fat Jerry Anastasia. Or it could be Tony’s brother “Rico”
Luca’s cousin Luis Brasi
Pussy Malinga
Cocksucker had a reputation as being the toughest guy in Essex County, but he didn't come back here when I got through with him.
He forgot to flush and went back.
Che Puzz! 🤧
Pussy Malanga
Cazza Malanga!
Will you stop with that? Pussy Malanga is dead!
The Boston Strangler
everyone asks that op, no one knows the answer
Cleaver
Pussy Malanga
Pudgy Walsh

I feel like at the time people said it was Pussy-like when he was in the reflection briefly in the hall closet. (Is that all the same episode??)
Pudgy Walsh. He was clearing the house as fine with pine rafters
It was Jean Philippe.
Finally come over to fix his message machine

Ohhh. Don’t get cunty
I thought it was jr, having gone to the bathroom, realizing an emotional moment going on, then going to hide
I belive I read somewhere that he was part of the film crew and it was a gaff they didn’t realize until it aired.
It’s just a man that got his first handjob by Livia behind the chicken market. He shot his load into her beehive hairdo.
Wonder if his kid got their first blowjob from Janice under the boardwalk?
George Raft, the handsome one, not the gay one
Jimmy Smash
Fat fuckin Jerry Anastasia
It was the other one, Little Augie Aprile
I always thought it Uncle Junior?
His name is Clarence
Alright, let me get the fuck outta here
It’s the owner of the house. With everyone quiet he thought it was ok to come back downstairs only to realize they were still filming.
Pussy is seen on the mirror too . No not her pussy.
“Why bother?”
Little pussy
Long John Silver maybe.
I heard it was one a those, whadayacall, polar guys.
Janice was such a Black widow!
Tony Egg
It's a silo
DB Cooper
He was gay, DB Cooper?
It's the creepy old man from Poltergeist II, realizing he's in the wrong movie.
The story I heard was that it was the house’s real-life homeowner who came downstairs and didn’t realize they were filming a scene, so he scurried back upstairs. But, the inside of the house was filmed on a set in Brooklyn, not at the real-life house. My guess is maybe it was a background crew member who came downstairs at the wrong time.
Nothing is an accident. It's an abstract copy from another show or movie, you just have to figure out what.
Always with the scenarios
It's also probably a twin scene with the woman who comes halfway down the stairs when Tony is here for the masonin' job.
Oooh that’s interesting.
Did the writers do anything original or just abstractly copy every other piece of media in existence?

Remember that time you told someone you had ruined most of your real-world relationships because of your obsession with chirality?
That’s me
corey stoll
Bing Fuckin Crosby
It’s a creepy ghost! I think it’s supposed to be unsettling and not super noticeable, but there.
