Post by: Kenny on June 19, 2013, 08:57:50 PM

James Gandolfini -- who famously played Tony Soprano on "The Sopranos"  died earlier today in Italy 

Gandolfini is believed to have suffered a heart attack. He was 51.

Gandolfini was in Italy to attend the 59th Taormina Film Festival in Sicily -- and he was scheduled to participate in a festival event this weekend with Italian director Gabriele Muccino.

Gandolfini shot to fame playing a hitman in the 1993 hit "True Romance" ... and quickly became a Hollywood legend when he was cast as Tony Soprano in 1999.  He won 3 Emmy awards for the role during the show's 6 season run.

Gandolfini also appeared in a ton of huge movies including "Get Shorty," "The Mexican" and "Zero Dark Thirty."
 


RIP James.....

I saw this and the punter on the news this morning... so sad and so young he was. He was in alot of movies. He was in 8mm with Nick Cage, and the movie with Denzel Washington, the train movie. He really has done alot. Poor thing, so young. I saw a few places have started memorials too. The house from the Sopranos has candles in front of it and the ice cream parlor has the table 'reserved' in his honor.
