SimonButtle Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 Matt will be gutted. Yeah he will be, that was his favorite show wasn't it. Never got into it much myself but it's always sad when someone dies fairly young like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avinalaff Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 I enjoyed his characters. Epitome of a nasty tempered mob knuckle head. Shame, although not too surprising given his size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubecula Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 Never watched the show and I barely knew of him, but it is sad when a talented person goes too early. RIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hafnia Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 Anyone who hasn't taken the time to watch the whole series is missing out, without doubt in my mind the best serious TV i've seen by a mile. The characters and how they are developed is absolutely ground breaking. Its funny, sad, gruesome, gripping, thought provoking, shocking and above all brilliant. Onto James Gandolfini, as a character Tony Soparano was possibly the most complex, arrogant, greedy, sensitive, callous, sly, smart, calculated, cheating, alpha male who also happened to be a devoted father and at times thoughful husband. How Gandolfini pulled off such a character is a testiment to his acting skills. Very sad that a man with so much talent and young family died at the age of 51. He's left his imprint though. RIP.

Dalziel Kane Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 Never watched an episode of it. Just something that wouldn't interest, but recognize the name, if not the face. Sympathies to his family and closest friends at what must be a difficult time. 51 years of age is far too young. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueBlood81 Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 R.I.P. Agreed with Haf, best TV show in a long, long.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_E Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 (edited) RIP, great show, great actor, great bloke too by all accounts. PS: they predicted it on the show: 04:18 in. Edited June 20, 2013 by Steve_E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hafnia Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 RIP, great show, great actor, great bloke too by all accounts. PS: they predicted it on the show: 04:18 in. One of the best scenes, that's an intervention. Christopher takes no shit, he's one loose cannon. The way they lay in with the boots makes me laugh.

Hafnia Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 im still watching at the moment into series 3 very good. RIP Series 3-4 are the best IMO. When Steve Buschemi comes in is also great, he's a good character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
