Wow, how shocking this was. Death at such a young age.

One of my favourite actors; was looking forward to seeing him get used more in films. What tragic loss for his family.

Such a shame, so young. I plan to watch True Romance as a mark of respect.

I got a fever, and the only prescription, is more memes.

They're calling him one of the greatest actors of this time and I've never even heard of the guy.

I'm not familiar with the guy, but he's done a lot of stuff it would seem.

I feel he was just about to make it into the A list with a few more years exposure.

Every film I have seen him in, his characters always stand out and leave a lasting impression. He typically takes on powerful roles such as crime boss in The Sopranos roles, the Mayor in Pelham 123 and prison warden in The Last Castle. But was yet to truly star in a leading role.

James Gandolfini was such an incredible actor. I absolutely loved him in Zero Dark Thirty. It doesn't even need to be said how great he was as Tony Soprano. Such a shame, RIP James!

Words cannot describe my Greatness... But I'll give it a shot.

I am awesome....... Yeah, that works.

Sopranos is one of the best shows out there. Really sad.
