RIP, I liked him.
Heart attack or stroke, not known yet.
True Romance:
Now the first time you kill somebody, that’s the hardest. I don’t give a shit if you’re ‘ Wyatt Earp or Jack the Ripper. Remember that guy in Texas? The guy up in that f ‘ tower that killed all them people? I’ll bet you green money that first little black dot he took a bead on, that was the bitch of the bunch. First one is tough, no f ‘ foolin’. The second one… the second one ain’t no Mardis Gras either, but it’s better than the first one ’cause you still feel the same thing, y’know… except it’s more diluted, y’know it’s…it’s better. I threw up on the first one, you believe that? Then the third one… the third one is easy, you level right off. It’s no problem. Now… shit… now I do it just to watch their n’ expression change. |

It's such a shame to hear about James Gandolfini dying of a heart attack whilst on holiday.
Well, when in Rome. |

Tony: What do you wanna talk about?
Richie: F**king Dick Barone!
Tony: Well, as long as the two of you are happy. |

| He had some fairly good movie roles. I think my favorite was Welcome To The Rileys, an offbeat domestic drama about a man and his wife who become involved with a young prostitute. Recommended. |

Frankly, although I am a HUGE fan of his Tony Soprano role, his attempt at a Southern accent in this and at least one other movie was painful to watch. I don't know, maybe if I had never seen him in anything else................
I liked him in "Get Shorty" and " The Man Who Wasn't There". |

| He also played Leon Panetta in Zero Dark Thirty. His performance was decent, although I thought it was weird casting him in that role. |

Great actor but he will always be remembered (at least by me) as Tony Soprano. His performance helped create one of the most memorable characters in TV history.
RIP. |

Upon further review, I have to say his accent was not as bad as I originally thought in "Welcome to the Rileys". I just sat down and watched it from start to finish and I must have been thinking of another movie. And while I am re-reviewing I must say that even Kristen Stewart was not half bad as the stripper/prostitute. |

Yeah, I'm no expert on accents, but I think there's a tendency to assume that actors usually associated with a northeast urban "ethnic" image just aren't doing it right when they play southerners.
Telly Savalas as the good old boy southerner in The Dirty Dozen, De Niro as the deranged cracker in Cape Fear, and Pacino as the genteel southern lawyer(transplanted to NYC) in People I Know. They all seemed a little out of place to me, at least at first. And from what I recall, Savalas' accent in TDD really did sound oddball.
On the other hand, Marlon Brando is an old-stock midwesterner, of northern European lineage. I wonder if anglicizing his German name with an "o" at the end helped establish his later cred as an Italian gangster. |
