Like everyone else, I am shocked to hear the death of “The Sopranos” star James Gandolfi who is most famous for his role as, Tony Soprano. I haven’t watched the whole series of, “The Sopranos”, I only saw the first season ’cause I have it on DVD. I was meaning to catch up with the rest of the show soon. I was planning on getting HBO GO for the Ipad and I’ll be able to watch, “The Sopranos”, on there. The Sopranos was a great show, though, even if I haven’t watched the whole thing yet.

I also remembered Gandolfini in several movie roles especially the Coen Bros. movie, “The Man Who Wasn’t There”. I also remembered him in “8MM” w/ Nicolas Cage. He was also in “Get Shorty” and “Crimson Tide”.

Gandolfini also did a lot of work for the US troops. He did stuff for the Wounded Warrior Project charity, and produced two documentaries on US Troops/War Veterans. He showed a lot of support and respect for US Soldiers over the years.

Today is a sad day for the entertainment industry. I was a fan of him too.

James Gandolfini died of cardiac arrest in Rome, Italy, he was 51 years old.
