Career

By mid-1997, he was appearing in commercials for Pizza Hut, and attending three or four auditions a week. He had also appeared on Saturday Night Live and in some film parts, but nothing that brought him great recognition. It was then that he won the role of A.J. Soprano, the son of series lead Tony Soprano, on the HBO drama The Sopranos, which aired from 1999 until 2007. By May 2001, he had begun home schooling for his education.

After the conclusion of The Sopranos in 2007, Iler largely retired from acting, instead moving to Las Vegas to pursue a career as a professional poker player.

In July 2023, Iler started a podcast with The Sopranos co-star Jamie-Lynn Sigler called Not Today Pal, produced by the YMH studios owned by comedians Tom Segura and Christina Pazsitzky.
