This came as a complete shock and being from a let's say, similar vintage, the all too soon passing of actor James Gandolfini at 51 hit hard. His portrayal of New Jersey mob boss Tony Soprano was already the stuff of legend. Now, the character can only move to some completely iconic, cultish sphere. I first saw Gandolfini in True Romance and it wasn't long after that HBO made him a household name. He infused the brutality of Tony with a vulnerability that somehow managed to keep him human and identifiable, despite his atrocious actions. From one hefty hothead with mother issues to another - Tony...we'll never forget you.Wednesday, June 19, 2013
