A capo in the DiMeo/Soprano crime family before Season 1, Curto is approached by fellow capo Tony Soprano and asked to replace Jackie Aprile, Sr. as Boss of the DiMeo Crime Family, due to his age and experience (Jackie is then in and out of the hospital and close to death).

It has never been disclosed when or why he became an informant, although he is briefly seen in the episode "Nobody Knows Anything" being busted at a brothel along with Detective Vin Makazian. Curto also mentions having a son with multiple sclerosis and the high cost of the Management of multiple sclerosis, so perhaps Curto's motivation to be an informant is to stay out of jail and have the ability to pay for his son's hospitalization.

In 2004, many members of the DiMeo Crime Family attend a birthday party for Curto at "Nuovo Vesuvio Ristorante." Tony presents Ray with a bottle of 1958 "Acuto di Soprano" from his ancestor's house in Avellino, Italy produced from his ancestors.

In 2006, Curto unexpectedly dies of a stroke in his FBI handler's car from the stress of taking care of his son and his age while giving potentially damaging information to Agent Sanseverino about Tony—Curto indicates he had a poor sound quality tape of Tony discussing a murder.
