James Gandolfini dead in Italy, HBO confirming.
http://www.tmz.com/2013/06/19/james-...ad-dies-italy/
James Gandolfini -- who famously played Tony Soprano on "The Sopranos" -- reportedly died earlier today in Italy ... TMZ has learned. The details surrounding Gandolfini's death are unclear. He was 51. Gandolfini was in Italy to attend the 59th Taormina Film Festival in Sicily -- and he was scheduled to participate in a festival event this weekend with Italian director Gabriele Muccino. Gandolfini shot to fame playing a hitman in the 1993 hit "True Romance" ... and quickly became a Hollywood legend when he was cast as Tony Soprano in 1999. He won 3 Emmy awards for the role during the show's 6 season run. Gandolfini also appeared in a ton of huge movies including "Get Shorty," "The Mexican" and "Zero Dark Thirty." Gandolfini is survived by his wife Deborah Lin, who gave birth to the couple's daughter in October 2012. He also has a teenage son from a previous marriage. R.I.P.

A great actor and genuinely nice guy. And to those bagging on him about his weight - a skinny Gandolfini never gets cast as Tony Soprano.

From what I've read, his last words were "at least John Goodman still lives"

His last dinner.
Gandolfini, 51, first ordered a pina colada with two additional shots of rum on the side. He followed that up with an identical round — a pina colada and two shots — and then downed two beers, the source said. Gandolfini also enjoyed back-to-back orders of fried prawns slathered with mayonnaise chili sauce — as well as a heaping portion of foie gras. |

Yeah, this news just slayed me when i heard it, LOVED that guy, never watched him mail anything in.
Bump, you NEED to take Danes advice and start watching from season one, you will never, ever regret it... it was the best show on tv, without its huge appeal and influence there wouldnt be all of these great, big money shows like Game of Thrones, Deadwood, Spartacus being made. This show set the bar. |
