Ay'der!?! What'r you lookin at!?! hugh!?!

It is hard to believe that at only 51 years of age, James Gandolfini has died. James Gandolfini played Tony Soprano on the HBO megahit, Sopranos. James Gandolfini won 3 Emmy awards on a total of six nominations. He passed away in Italy while on a vacation and the reported cause of death was a heart attack.
James Gandolfini is arguably one of the best character actors, and in his role as Tony Soprano, he may very well have been the greatest character actor.

"Even a broken clock is right twice a day." –Anthony "Tony" Soprano [1999]
The Sopranos originally aired on HBO, and completely changed TV. The Sopranos was a hyper-immesive show, and probably the greatest TV show that ever was filmed. It certainly was also one of the most financially successful TV franchises as well. It is likely that it never would have been nearly as successful as it was if it was not for James Gandolfini doing such a convincing job of Playing Tony Soprano.
In the famous and now iconic Sapronos intro you can see Tony Saprono wearing his trademark Rolex Day-Date. Watching this now sends shivers down my spine, is a DejaVu kind of way...
Despite the fact that The Sopraons was an over-the-top violent show, James Gandolfini's character Tony Soprano in many ways symbolized the aggressive alpha-male, almost in a raw, caveman kind of way, which is what made the fact that Tony Soprano wore a Rolex President quite fitting. If the Rolex Day-Date is the International Mark Of Success, then it perfectly symbolized Tony Soprano's disposition.
The Sopranos was such a highly addicting show. I remember I used to jones to see the next episode. It has been many years now since I have watched an episode of the Sopranos, but in the future I am excited to do a Sopranofest, where I watch all ten seasons, back to back to back.
The Sopranos Rolex Watches
The HBO his series, The Sopranos was created by David Chase and is the most financially successful cable series in television history.
The Sopranos probably featured more Rolex watches per actor than any other TV show or movie in history. Tony is pictured below wearing his trademark yellow gold Day-Date and his wife, Carmella is wearing her trademark ladies two-tone datejust on a Jubilee bracelet.
As I mentioned earlier in this article, James Gandolfini was arguably one of the greatest characters actors in history. I remember after years of enjoying watching the Sopranos, hearing James Gandolfini speak with his real voice and I was shocked!!??!!
In real life he was completely antithetical to the Tony Soprano character In real life he was a gentle, soft-spoke giant, kind-of-like Mike Tyson, in the sense that if you just saw Mike Tyson box, the first time you heard him speak, it was shocking because his voice did not match his presence.
