Here's a little short about James Gandolfini. I wanted to talk about just a few film roles that he had outside of his masterful work on The Sopranos.

It’s a weird feeling to miss somebody that you’ve never met.

[@chuannguyenvuanhSG92]

Same, I'm a Vietnamese, know about Mr. James Gandolfini throught 'The Mexican' movie and I was interesting with his role. Then I just typed the name of James then realized that he was dead two years ago, my face and my emotion just can't explain but I feel sadly immeadiately... Just in 2018, I was know about The Sopranos and really enjoying this tv-show, threw my die hard habbit 'video-games' into a space to digging The Sopranos until the end. To this day, I still miss and love James Gandolfini but I still not know my why for it. Maybe I liked him because James is a New Jersey but his thoughts and class was crushed me. Sorry if my English is terrible to explain my words, because there is a lot of things I wanna share about James Gandolfini.

[@minion9707]

@@chuannguyenvuanhSG92 your not wrong it's depressing finishing the show itself then to later find out that James had past is heartbreaking such a great actor took way too soon.

[@jaimetrevino3818]

Ik what you mean. Ik this sounds kind of unrelated but thats how i felt when nipsey hussle died... yk successful people tell young people a pretty common peice of advice and that's "if you wanna be a millionaire but don't know where to start. A good place would be is to find a millionaire you feel you relate to and jog behind him everyday when he goes jogging" if you know what that means then you know. My point is though... that's usually true except when your 19... and you've been "jogging" to the tune of your favorite millionaire for 5 years and then suddenly you watch him get shot 6 times and kicked in the head in the parking lot of his own establishment...almost made me give up tbh watching the man that gave me hope get murdered. I'm sure thats how alot of people feel about mr gandolfini as well..

it was my last day in the army. mandatory military education, or whatcha ma callit. received a message from my friend: "james gandolfini has died, sorry for your loss".

Gandolfini performance as Tony Soprano is considered by many as revolutionary and influential, some even saying that Gandolfini was the "Marlon Brando of Television", because like Brando, he redefine the concept of the man in conflict and masculinity, giving a sensibility so real and relatable, just like when Brando did A Streetcar Named Desire and Godfather.

I watched the whole first season telling everyone I knew how amazing the show was. Before the 2nd season started, I moved to Europe for a year.. when I got back season 3 was had just finished but I didn’t have hbo anymore. I was damn near homeless. I join the air force and left sept 11 2001. The next time I caught up to the sopranos, it was huge, it was the end season 6. And I was in Iraq. I watched the whole season while I was there. And then rewatched it the next time I was sent back to Iraq. My favorite show of all time. The show fell into my lap. And Helped me get through Iraq twice.

It’s never too late to fall in love. The sopranos is one of the greatest shows of all time. Not just IMO but fact. Also it’s great that as a new watcher you found yourself drawn to the Kevin Finerty storyline. Most fans at the time (not me) hated it. Thought it was “jumping the shark”. It’s my favorite of all the storylines. I love seeing him get a chance to show his audience that he was more than a tv gangster. Also how are we not talking about him working with Brad Pitt at least 3 times? I bet those were some fun sets to be on. James and Brad have tremendous senses of humor (from what I’ve seen in interviews).

"One of the"? The Best TV series of all time bro. ;) TV have 2 part: Before The Sopranos - After The Sopranos.

[@michaelsuder3956]

It’s rated by many publications as the greatest of all time

[@StromboliTastesGood]

Michael Suder you know if I said it was the greatest I’d get replies saying it isn’t. Damned if I do damned if I don’t.

[@michaelsuder3956]

Ross Perry 😂

[@gabe_s_videos]

There's a rest stop named after him in Montvale, NJ. I can't think of a more fitting and flattering tribute.

[@oldenvye6432]

It rarely gets much mention but he was unsurprisingly great in Crimson Tide.

[@estott3647]

Love him in the ‘Last Castle’ with Robert Redford too

[@oldenvye6432]

@@estott3647 Yeah, I don't consider it a great film but a very good and nuanced performance.

[@develynseether4426]

Several of the co-stars were good. Matt Craven & Rocky Carroll as 2 quite young Lt's would come together again for the navy in NCIS. Viggo Mortensen swaps the weapon key for a bladed weapon as Aragorn in the LOTR Trilogy.

It blew my mind hearing him speak without the accent? He's also so polite and kind, nothing like the Tony role he played. Wow he was an Amazing actor No Doubt.

[@Johnny_Bravo00]

James Gandolfini is a Legend! Rest In Paradise King 👑 🇮🇹 You didn't mention his performance alongside of tom hardy in The Drop. Awesome movie. Phenomenal Actor James is an Absolute Legend!

[@daveyfunk]

Now his son carrying on the legacy playing Tony in The Many Saints of Newark/ Sopranos is my favourite show and just hoping that Michael Gandolfini can follow in his fathers footsteps and do the role justice

This is so well written and edited. Video essays are my guilty pleasures and this is one of the best.

[@ltg8382]

You only watched The Sopranos now? I was on my 6th run this year.. You need to watch The Sopranos at least 3/4 times to really understand it... I really dont think you can gauge or have any idea about Tony Soprano after watching it 1 time...Almost an insult really.

[@PapiSorrels]

HOW, is The Last Castle w/ THE great Robert Redford not mentioned? Wow!

[@williams.vincent4235]

Well, it wasn’t a dream per say, he had been shot and was in a drug induced coma

[@MRIANBUG]

That is so crazy seeing him act in the student film!! You can ever hear the slightest bit of Tony in there somewhere, but you would NEVER know what his future held!
