    James was such a good dude. Sopranos ended and HBO gave him carte blanc to do basically whatever he wanted to do next and he decided to do a 2 part documentary series where he interviews soldiers who were disfigured in the middle east. He personally sat there and listened to their story. He was such a selfless man.

    It's kind of unfair to compare TV characters to movie characters since they get so much more screen-time to develop etc but I think the best character performance for a movie would be Al Pacino as Michael Corleone. Also, I recently watched 'Amadeus' & F. Murray Abraham was cast perfectly as Salieri in that. The whole cast of 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest' was also pretty perfect.

We could be the first race to go this far, maybe we're the most advanced one there is. Vast distances between solar systems, it's hard to get somewhere even at lightspeed. I am not saying you are wrong just that you can't be sure, what if we are from Mars?

    I had the chance to interview James many years ago when I was in college and he was filming in NJ. I was an older student and in charge of our College TV station. I could have done the interview, but had my assistant do it, so I could look at him and take notes. Also, I was so intimidated and nervous! I have never felt that way with any other celebrity. He smiled and said hi, and looked at me with that Tony Soprano / James Gandolfini smile, and I will never forget it, is is seared in my memory forever!
