Plays a mobster on USA TV based on typical stereo types of Italians, then dies in Italy...

Ironic, Conspiracy? :confused:

RIP indeed.

I can't say I watched the Sopranos a lot but I enjoyed his performances in The Last Castle, Crimison Tide and The Juror. Last show I seen him in was Zero Dark Thirty where he played the role of Leon Panetta albeit a brief one. I only re-watched it again a few days ago.

Sad news.

RIP.

Very sad news, way too young. He'll forever be remembered for one of the most iconic roles in tv history.

RIP Big Tone.
 
51, not 31!!

Yeah, really sad news indeed...still a young man taken way too early.

Loved the big guy as Tony Soprano :)

Thought The Soprano's was the best show on TV, followed by The Wire and Breaking Bad

RIP.

He was of Italian descent, still had family living in Italy.

I just finished watching the series 2 or 3 weeks ago. Very sudden, very unexpected news :(
 
Woke up this morning the world turned upside down
things aint been the same
since the blues walked into town
but your one in a million
you got that shotgun shine
born under a bad sign with a blue moon in your eye....

RIP. He has made himself immortal.

I'm quite surprised to read he was only 51, which means he was in his late thirties when the Sopranos started. He didn't live the healthiest of lives, I guess.

A very good actor and I did exactly the same thought. I had the impression that he was older even when he played at the Sopranos. He looked older.

RIP :(
