[JayAllan]

I just read that! So sad. My ex GF worked with him on the Sopranos Only 51 years old.

[shermo]

Damn... Seemed like a real nice guy based on his charity work, and he was an incredible actor. He will be missed.

[BSleazy]

Dam that sucks.

[djroof]

Rip.....

[L-Pink]

Sure it wasn't a hit?

[mikesinner]

Damn, only 51. Am I gonna die soon?

[bronco67]

I always thought he looked like the personification of "walking heart attack waiting to happen".

[Spunky]

Damn,he's my age RIP James

[baddog]

Was bummed to come home to see this. Met him a few months ago and came across as a very nice guy.

[StickyGreen]

Remember the sopranos episode where he was like in a coma and dreaming of being a regular square businessman who lost his wallet? lmao... dude was a great actor...

[georgeyw]

Damn, that is really sad to hear. I really enjoyed his acting in pretty much everything he did. RIP!

[Captain Kawaii]

R.I.P. to a really talented actor. Hope he got some gabba goo before he passed.

[mardigras]

Damn,he's my age RIP James

Mine too. I've struggled with weight but never anywhere near his size and I have been vigilant about what goes in my body for years. Here's hoping us both many years of good health, Spunky

I did not know who this was when I read the thread title. I can't recall seeing him in any movie and I never watched an episode of the Sopranos.

You've never seen Soupranos? Man, you are in for a treat.

Do yourself a favor and watch The Sopranos from start to finish. It will blow your mind.

Then watch "Welcome to the Rileys." In it Gandolfini plays a broken down, rumpled man who helps a teenage stripper out. He is the polar opposite of Tony Soprano and is flat out amazing in it.

[Matt 26z]

He was the big Italian guy. That was his role as an actor, and what killed him too soon.

Damn, Baddog isn't exactly petite, but look at that.

He looks like a monster next to you

I read that Gandolfini was frequently over 300 lbs (although not sure if that had anything to do with his heart attack).

I don't watch many TV programs, so I never saw a single episode of The Sopranos, nonetheless, I feel like I knew it anyway, due to all of the coverage of the show, and I always liked watching Gandolfini on his infrequent talk show appearances.



He was good in LOTR too:



RIP in Goomba Heaven Tony Soprano...

baddog at 170; Gandolfini at 250?

Many many more happy to you too, baddog!

[Rochard]

How very sad...

Now that's a cool picture...

[mardigras]

You've never seen Soupranos?

No Souprano for him?

[baryl]

Maybe it's because I just finished marathoning through the Sopranos but man, I feel genuinely bad. I usually don't give a damn about celebrities but I almost feel like I knew the guy personally.

[mikesinner]

No Souprano for him?

lol, I did that on purpose when he misspelled it. I think it could make a good parody youtube video if some amateur actors put it together.

[MediaGuy]

Awfully sad. His great performance as the hitman in The Mexican will always stay with me. Fuck this shit, he was too young!
:D

"Early reports indicate the former Sopranos star was fighting with a photographer at the time of his death
The photographer, who was not identified, was following him around for most of the day following an altercation the previous day.
Holy shit, paparazzi strikes again!"

He has a teenage son and an 8 month old daughter. Would be wonderful if it's a hoax.

[Some Guy]

So sad. I guess this puts the kibosh on an future Soprano's movie.

[topsiteking]

Very sad indeed.
Great talent lost.
