Genuinely saddened by this news, loved the Sopranos from the start and still watching it on Sky Atlantic.

RIP James, Thank you for the hundreds of hours of truly amazing television.

Sky currently have the entire series of the Sapranos on demand for download. I've been watching it for something like the 5th time as it's such a brilliant show. I had got tot he episode last night where Chris says to him "You'll be dead from a heart attack at 50 the way you eat" - my diet starts today!

Real shame - this guy was amazing to watch. I thought he was fantastic in 'In the Loop'.

Such sad news. He was great in The Sopranos and lots of good movies too. RIP.

I heard about his death on RTE News this morning. It is a great shock to hear about it today.

I had watched a few episodes of Gandolfini in The Sopranos years ago. I thought he was a great actor with a great talent.

May he RIP.

I don't worry - after they come
Back from Lunch & start doing their " research" from boards; they'll get around to mentioning it in the " news" by the end of the day. Only about 20 hours late

Incredible Actor. Sad news.
R.I.P.

Was gutted to hear this last night. Every now and then there is a celeb death that hits you much more than the majority of others (Ayrton Senna was another significant one). Gandolfini is certainly one of those for me. Even more so the fact that I've recently started watching The Sopranos again, introducing the gf to it, and we were halfway through the 2nd series. She's gutted as well!

Yeah they're showing 4 classic episodes, but not Pine Barrens sadly. Think that one is my favourite - "I'll leave you here, you one-shoe c*******er!!"

The episode that got me into "the gangster show my dad watches"

One of only 3 celebrity deaths that really hit home with me. Ayrton Senna and Joe Strummer being the other too, all before their time.

RIP

I loved the scene where Christopher is on heroin, it's really beautiful

I visited that place on a Soprano's Tour in NYC.. it's surreal, they give you a portion of onion rings to eat and have your picture taken in the booth.. the walls are covered with candid photos taken by the staff of the filming of the final scenes in 2007. It's almost like a shrine.

I strongly recommend the tour to any fans who are planning a trip to NY, although I'd say it will be fairly booked out for the next while.

I'm deeply saddened by his passing.. he was a true legend RIP James

"I wipe my ass with your feelings!"

"Take that setee and cram it up your ass!"

"Mother of Christ, is this a woman thing or what?! You asked how I felt; I told you. Now you're using it against me!"

"Why don't you get the fúck outta here before I cram your quotations book up your fat fúckin' ass!"

"You don't love me? Well that breaks my heart. But you don't gotta love me. But you will respect me!"

"What the fúck?! I can't catch a fúckin' break!"

"You're entitled to shít!"

"Free to sit back and fiddle with the air conditioning for twenty fúckin' years!"

"If she were here right now I'd be bouncin' her fúckin' head off the wall!"

"Motherfúckin' FÚCK!"

"Predicated on my ass, what's the difference?"

"She was a beautiful innocent creature! What did she ever do to you?!"

"I see they still haven't found a cure for fúckfaceitis."

"You gotta be fúckin' kidding me."

"Oh, poor you."

"Fúckin' free-spirit Janice who left me here with our basket case of a mother while you were off dropping acid and blowing roadies!"

"You twisted fúckin' bitch! That's my mother you're talking about, not some fúck up in Attica who'd stab you in the shower!"

"Every day is a gift... but does it have to be a pair of socks?"

"Not for nothin'.. but what the fúck"
