James Gandolfini, the New Jersey-bred actor who delighted audiences as mob boss Tony Soprano in The Sopranos has died following a massive heart attack in Italy, a source told the Daily News.
Does end the speculation of a big screen version of “The Sopranos.” It was pretty much not going to happen but now it sure not to be made.
To bad it wasn’t Hillary or Harry Reid. Why does this happen to good people and not to evil?
Anyway, watching FOX and while talking about "The Sopranos" Shep comes out with this gem;
"...and the music...coming over the bridge into New Jersey..."
In addition to the his fantastic acting as Tony Soprano, he also did a one-on-one interview series with returning Iraq War veterans who had suffered catastophic injuries.
It was riviting and heartbreaking. It even made Gandolfini cry hearing their stories.
Bada-bing
Well, that makes three for today.....
Ummm. Did you see the size of him?
So sorry for him, family and friends. He wasn’t exactly a cardiovascular fit guy in body type. God bless you all-— please stay healthy in this temporary life and don’t die without Jesus.
I watched him in Zero Dark Thirty without thinking of Tony Soprano because I never watched The Sopranos. In fact I wondered why people were laughing when he appeared as Leon Panetta.
Dang 51 is way too young. RIP and prayers up for da famlee.
BUMP.
He really was typecast.
A real shock..damn good actor too..RIP
Just saw him on DVD Brett Silverstone flick with Steve Carroll and Steve Buscemi, he didn’t look healthy in my opinion.
RIP...
Shep Smith of Fox News is devastated.
so i guess that means he passed away in italy, new jersey.

“The way you eat, you’re gonna have a heart attack by the time you’re 50!”
