[@cmcproductions26]

I know. It's sad. Paulie was my favorite character. Tony was just so damn good playing him. I hope they do a similar documentary for him as well. His real life story is actually amazing. I watched the interview with him from 1989, and I can't believe how mean he seemed to have been when he was younger. Talking about beating the shit out of guys just for talking to his girlfriend. The interviewer asked him if he ever killed anyone, and he hesitated at first but then said no. Of course he wasn't gonna say yes, even if he DID kill anyone. But, him turning his life around, and becoming an actor, is incredible, and inspiring.

Not knocking your comment. But actors and acting has to be like that. Self defence. It is like nothing else. Imagine another business where you have to kiss someone you don't really know or grab hold of them. Then be told to do it again. Never mind the long hours in their company. You have to fall in love or you'd die.

I am so touched about how close to him were the actors of Sil and Paulie and Junior in the real life. Listening to "Silvio" near the end of this, speaking with such sadness, in denial of Gandolfini not being alive anymore is so pure and amazing... I am so glad I finally watched TheSopranos. It will be always AT LEAST top 5 Series of all time ever, probably still the no.1, the BEST Series ever made for as long as humanity will last on Earth. Ps: i wasn't speared of crying.

[@MecanicalEnd]

Very few actors have the same presence and depth that Gandolfini had. They are completely right when they say that he projected unique emotion when acting. His body language is almost contagious--when watching him act, many start to mirror him subconsciously because of how well the audience connects with him on screen. This is actually what makes James my all-time favourite actor.
