    The Sopranos was a great series, on of the best things i've ever watched. James Gandolfini, a truly great actor.

    R.I.P.

    RIP Jim Gandolfino. Great actor and a nice guy...nothing like his TV persona. Left us far too soon.

    A real shock this. Soprano's is a favourite in our house. We're watching reruns at the moment. The real skill of this show was that the leading figures were human enough to allow the viewer to relate and even empathise with them but the makers of the show were quick to remind you of how horrible they really are, just at the point when you might start liking them.
    RIP Jim.

    A tragic waste of great talent.

    Have enjoyed watching all his roles.

    He was spending quality time with his Son who had to witness his untimely death.

    RIP

    He was born to play that role.

    He made some decent films too.

    RIP

    Absolutely gutted, The Sopranos was my all time favourite series, and Big Tony was truly superb in it. I was really hoping that there would be another series of it at some point.

    RIP James Gandolfini, you will be sadly missed.

    Really saddened about this. Truly great actor in the Sopranos. What presence.

    I really liked the film 'The Last Castle' too.

    Dark days, Gandolfini was an exceptional actor. Sopranos was one of the greatest programmes on TV.
    RIP James Gandolfini.

    Tony Soprano sleeps with the fishes.

    Those scenes with Dr Melfi were just gold, some of the best acting ever- am going to have to get hold of the boxset again. The part with the ducks springs to mind too just tremendously believable acting- r.i.p
