+Ahmed Murad His film career is actually a collection of exquisite masterworks in nuance. When I saw him THE MEXICAN I was shocked that people didn't give him more diverse roles because he inhabited them so completely. And my favorite performance of him in THE SOPRANOS is the coma episode arc where he tried to be another person in dreamspace: just enough Tony, and just enough someone else. Absolutely superb.

[@arturs2436]

I would refer his role on "the Last Castle"..He did great there

@ItsStillRealToMe DamnIt To answer your question - yes, absolutely. Everything is perfect in the fictional world where you only see perfection and rationalize flaws and red flags. But would I actually want to LIVE with Tony Soprano day-in and day-out in reality? Not a chance in hell. No sane woman would want to live with a psychopath IRL.

[@fuckzogtube]

I just wanna pour a bit of my feelings here about this show because I feel like it, even if its just words to the wind. Like most, if not all of the fans of this show, I feel James left us too soon in our mundane minds, but his part and all the other great actors and actresses that took part on this phenomenal journey that is The Sopranos will always have a very special place on us. I only started watching this show after you passed away and frankly I never watched anything you did before that, yet I was always told the greatness of this show but never had the curiosity in me to embark on this adventure that is this great piece of art. Maybe I guess it was for the best, as I was a lot more mature at that point and it helped with understanding the nuances a lot easier when you carry a certain mileage in life. With all of that said, I wanna congratulate and thank all of you for pouring out your hearts and minds in this project.

Finished watching the sopranos yesterday night, it was one hell of a show to say the least. James Gandolfini gave one of the greatest performances in tv history. I had never heard of the guy growing up because I didn’t watch much tv or read the news. This is the first video I’ve seen of James gandolfini outside of the sopranos, and it’s just amazing to see how nice of a guy he is irl. He really IS Tony Soprano, just without all the bad traits and I still find him pretty scary how after spending 6 seasons with him as a mob boss sociopath. He really was one of the greatest actors who ever lived, such a loss to the art of acting now that he’s gone.
