James Gandolfini is dead. A heart attack in Italy. Too soon doesn't begin to say it, but as the news makes its way across the wires I find myself, as we always do at times like this, thinking back on the work. And Gandolfini had a wealth of it. You see, he wasn't always this star, this "name." He made his hay as a character actor in film after film, always leaving a deep impression, long before "The Sopranos" came calling.http://www.hitfix.com/blogs/in-contention

According to multiple reports, actor James Gandolfini has passed away today at the age of 51. Deadline reported that the beloved star of The Sopranos was in Italy when he suffered an apparent heart attack. TMZ added that the three-time Emmy Award winner was there for the 59th Taormina Film Festival in Sicily. In addition to his iconic portrayal of Tony Soprano, Gandolfini was an accomplished stage actor who burst onto the scene when he played a woman-beating mob enforcer in True Romance. Notiriously press shy and not at all fond of talking about himself, Gandolfini appeared on Inside the Actors Studio in 2004, granting James Lipton perhaps the most detailed peek into his life and career. That interview is embedded below. Gandolfini leaves behind his wife of five years, Deborah Lin, and their young daughter, as well as his son from his previous marriage. We will update this post with more details as they become available. (Banner via)
