never heard of him
It always cracks me up that whenever a celebrity dies, people on this forum try to be the first to chime in claiming they never heard of them as if this is some badge of honor.
I've never seen an episode of The Sopranos in my life but I'm not so clueless and out-of-touch to not have known that during it's heyday, it was the most popular show on television.
I really don’t give a hoot if you believe me, I am telling you I never heard of this idiot until he croaked. I have heard of the show, but never partook of a single episode. The most recent thing I watched on TV is Nashville. Italian criminals don’t interest me, I am not from the East Coast like you.
To get an idea of the range that Gandolfini had as an actor, check out the movie: The Mexican.
The movie also has Brad Pitt and Julia Roberts in it. Two people that we can learn about at a later time.
The Sopranos? I’m surprised a show about opera singers was that popular but if you say so.
Yep, I never saw the show either, and would not have recognized the name alone, in fact didn’t know which Soprano character he was when he died until the death articles described who he was, but everyone heard of the show and him, Rush loved the show and talked about it a lot.
In modern America, even adult men can’t help but see the names of the celebrities, pop culture is our only culture and the only news treated as truly important.
Flags at half-mast for an HBO actor as a nation mourns, yet men like Charlie Beckwith die without any attention or tale to be told.
