James Gandolfini, R.I.P.

Yesterday the world received the sad news of James Gandolfini's sudden passing in Italy.  The 51-year-old Sopranos star is best known for embodying one of the most iconic characters in television history, but Gandolfini shined in any role he played (and was scary good in films like True Romance and 8MM).  And by all accounts from those who worked with him, the esteemed actor was an even better person.

I join with millions of fans in mourning his untimely death.
