Tom Visser Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 My condolences to his family, especially his son Michael. I had the opportunity to spend some time with him, Michael, and his sister on the shore and found that Jim had an introverted side that resonated with my own. A great loss and very sad to hear of this news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Wexler Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 Really shocking... 51 years old. I had the pleasure of working with him on "Get Shorty" and the pleasure of watching him as Tony Soprano. This is a huge loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old school Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 I never had the pleasure of working with Mr Gandofini, but it's great to hear he was a good man because I really enjoy his work. My condolences to his family & friends. I guess this is the way the Sappranos really ends. All & all, we didn't see it coming, and perhaps that's the way it should be.

mikefilosa Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 .... "Killing Them Softly," a terrible movie but his take on a troubled hitman is great to watch...... I agree... A film not to be missed by any fans of his.... I had to wonder how much of that performance was improvised / unscripted. Very strong and believable. I always liked to watch his interviews .... Of course they were way out of character and revealing of what his true nature was... But man o man, could he play a bad bad guy.... (I.e. "8MM" ! ) MF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastermixaudiomedia Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 Really saddened to hear it, esp. as a Jersey guy. One of my favorite Gandolfini films is "The Man Who Wasn't There". He was a great supporter of the Garden State Film Festival held in Asbury Park NJ where I live. Played a game on "The Sopranos" pin in his memory soon after hearing the news... RIP.

al mcguire Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 James Gandolfini: The top ten Tony Soprano quotes In the wake of James Gandolfini's death, we look back at the best of his character Tony Soprano's lines Daisy Wyatt Thursday, 20 June 2013 In the wake of James 'Tony Soprano' Gandolfini’s death, we look back at some of his best quotes from hit HBO series The Sopranos. Known for his charismatic, complex and sometimes violent character, the boss of the DiMeo crime family had a distinct worldview. Here are some of his most memorable lines, penned by series creator David Chase. 1. On love: “Well, when you’re married, you’ll understand the importance of fresh produce.” 2. On therapy: “This psychiatry s***, apparently what you’re feeling is not what you’re feeling and what you’re not feeling is your real agenda.” 3. “Is this a woman thing? You ask me how I’m feeling. I tell you how I’m feeling, and now you’re going to torture me with it.” 4. “Cunnilingus and psychiatry brought us to this.” 5. On being the boss: “All due respect, you got no f***ing idea what it’s like to be Number One.” 6. “You don’t s*** where you eat. And you really don’t s*** where I eat.” 7. “If you can quote the rules, then you can obey them.” 8. On the internet: “Log off. That ‘cookie’ s*** makes me nervous.” 9. On Chicken Soup for the Soul: You should read 'Tomato Sauce for your Ass'. It’s the Italian version. 10. On being in the Mafia: “What use is an unloaded gun?” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickcardone Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 He was also very good in In The Loop. The man had a presence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickcardone Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 On an slightly related note, one of my favorite Soprano's line was said by his dad Johnny. You're like an albacore around my neck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
