We enjoyed James Gandolfini in the role of Tony Soprano for many many years.
We actually bought all of the "seasons" of The Sopranos and rewatched them every winter when housebound with snowstorms raging outside.....they never get "old".
He was a great actor in that role.......as well as other movies we've seen him in.
People who know him say he was nothing like the character of Tony Soprano.....so that says a lot about his acting ability.
We were raised in Newark, N.J. so can relate to his scenes with his mother and his early family life in Newark.......plus have inlaws in Caldwell,Verona and Livingston New Jersey where parts of the Soprano's "stories" were depicted.......and just loved that beginning where the oil tanks on the New Jersey Turnpike are shown....................that is why we moved to Vermont in 1970. But, it's all nostalgic when watching THE SOPRANOS.
James Gandolfini will be missed. We were just saying the other day that they should bring the show back with the younger generation.........
