GTA Character Stories - Tony Cipriani (All Cutscenes)

Antonio "Toni" Cipriani is a main character in Grand Theft Auto III and the protagonist of Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories. He is voiced by the late Michael Madsen in GTA III and Danny Mastrogiorgio in GTA Liberty City Stories. Toni is a member of the Leone Crime Family in Liberty City, who was forced to live abroad for four years[1] following his murder of a made man from a rival Mafia family under the orders of his boss, Salvatore Leone. Upon his return in 1998, he resumes work for the family, helping it increase its influence and eliminate its rivals, primarily the Sindacco and the Forelli Crime Families. As a result, the Leone Crime Family becomes the dominant Mafia organization in the city, and Toni earns Salvatore's trust and respect, becoming a Capo within the family. Two of Toni's defining attributes are his undying loyalty to Salvatore and his complicated relationship with his mother, Mrs. Cipriani. The latter is often heard berating Toni due to her discontent with him and what she perceives as his failure to live up to his late father's legacy, though at times she has also been shown to praise her son and be kind to him. Toni Cipriani was born to Mrs. Cipriani and an unnamed father, who was a member of one of the city's mafia families. He lived with his Ma in their restaurant in Saint Mark's. At some point, Toni's father died, and since that day (or possibly even earlier) his Ma has been putting a lot of pressure on Toni, berating him and arguing with him over the smallest things, because she believed he would never live up to his father's legacy. Toni later became involved in Liberty City's criminal underworld, joining the Leone Crime Family to follow in his late father's footsteps and prove his Ma wrong. #gta3 #libertycity #tonycipriani
