[on why he rarely does interviews:] I just don't think I'm that interesting. I don't think what I have to say is that interesting. To hear me go, 'Blah, blah, blah, blah'...

That means he probably wasn't a liberal.

Suspicious, even to someone like yours truly who doesn’t watch the idiot box.

Thanks, not sure why you felt the need to inform everyone, but thanks.

The one college that Tony Soprano on the show, didn't want his daughter going to was Columbia University.

His forces got in a fight with Native Americans protesting the Columbus Day parade.

When asked by his son if it was true that the Chinese invented pasta Tony replied by asking if he thought people who didn't even have forks could have invented pasta.

My Dad was his size and lived to 80, but the weight was hard on his knees and hips especially as he got older.

My Dad’s good friend ran marathons and died at 55. He ignored chest pain for two weeks thinking it was his gall bladder and that it could wait.

Just saying you never know so especially you men who don’t like to go to the doctor and have a complete physical every now and then no matter what your physique!

My last sentence doesn't really make sense but I think you can get the point!

Soooo....anyone know where Paulie was when this happened?

Anyway, he did a great job playing Lt. Gen. Miller in “In the Loop”:

Lt. Gen. George Miller: I’m a voracious reader. I’m the Gore Vidal of the Pentagon.

Karen Clarke: Gore’s gay.

Lt. Gen. George Miller: No, he’s not!

Karen Clarke: I beg to differ, but...

Lt. Gen. George Miller: He’s gay? ‘Cause I’ve been saying that Gore Vidal line.

Karen Clarke: He is gay.

Lt. Gen. George Miller: [pause] Guess I’d better stop saying that then.

I thought that Gov. Christie had that recent weight-losing surgery?

Well when you reach your 40’s and 50’s the body often goes into the “brake down lane”.

By no means does it have to. It is all on the individual to not let that happen.

Ahh, crap...

RIP, Jim Gandolfini. Every interview I’d seen with him, e always seemed like a great guy.

He played a helluva role, and made “Tony Soprano” a household name for a few years.

51 is way too young... and his son is 13? Kid grows up without Dad now.

Been there. It sucks. Prayers out to his family.

"To hear me go, 'Blah, blah, blah, blah'..."

That means he probably wasn't a liberal.

Another freeper posted his memory of the time Gandolfini said something crude to Glenn Beck at a ballgame in front of Beck's kid, objecting to Beck's politics. The thing is, Gandolfini later apologized. Sounds like he may have been a "default" liberal -- someone from a New Jersey Democrat environment who doesn't really know much about the issues -- but who was also a caring person and a gentleman. His friends all praised his kindness in person. In time, he could have been one of us. A great loss to the acting profession.
