...heroes has always been Dr. Frankenstein," says an interviewee in Errol Morris' First Person (Bravo, Wednesdays, 10:30 p.m. E.T.)--Saul Kent, a mild-mannered cryonics buff who lovingly had his dead mother's severed head frozen. "I just think he's been misunderstood." In a way, Kent has captured the theme of his interlocutor's career.

Thus, in the show, Silvio Dante (Steven Van Zandt) cracks up his Mob buddies with an Al Pacino impersonation from the maligned Godfather III ("Just when I thought I was out--they pull me back in!"), while family chief Tony Soprano (James Gandolfini) expresses a preference for The Godfather II over the original. What characters, indeed. Like...
