Who played Carmela's father, Hugh DeAngelis?

Carmela’s father, Hugh DeAngelis, was played by Tom Aldredge. Hugh is Carmela Soprano’s father and the husband of Mary DeAngelis, making him Tony Soprano’s father-in-law.

Aldredge was an American stage, film, and television actor whose career stretched across several decades. He appeared as Hugh in The Sopranos as part of the show’s wider portrait of Carmela’s extended family, including family gatherings, celebrations, and the tensions that surface around Tony’s criminal life.

Hugh is often remembered for his practical, old-fashioned personality and his uneasy relationship with Tony. Although he is not one of the show’s central crime figures, his presence helps show the social world surrounding the Soprano household beyond Tony’s immediate crew.

A common mix-up is Joseph Siravo, who played Tony’s father, Johnny Boy Soprano, in flashbacks and later Sopranos-related work. Robert Funaro played Eugene Pontecorvo, while John Ventimiglia played Artie Bucco. None of those actors played Carmela’s father.
