I am the same age --- will be 51 next month and we both went to Rutgers.
I feel very sad --- he seemed like such a good guy.
The first time I saw him in person was after 9-11, NYPD detectives had taken me with them to ask for a raise at a big rally --- I think it was mid-town and James Gandolfini happen to be walking by with his girlfriend and the NYPD asked him to speak up for them and he did.
The last time I saw him was on Prince St eating by himself. I didn't bother him. I eat by myself and enjoy the alone time.
I had tried to reach him to ask him to call than Capt Ed Winski of the First Precinct to stop harassing, ticketing and or arresting Veteran Vets because I knew from the HBO film he made he loved Vets....he cared. I felt if James Gandolfini called Winski he would leave our Vet Vendors alone.
He was a brilliant actor and a good guy. He leaves behind a beautiful boy that looks just like him but light hair and a brand new baby girl from his 2nd marriage.
Very sad....
I would have asked him to play NYPD hero Lt. Petrosino but he was too tall....Lt. Petrosino died in 1905 in Italy the first NYPD hero to die abroad in the line of duty.
James Gandolfini was versitalie and superb in any role including the HBO movie about the reality show the Amercian Family that broke up http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinema_Verite. As a little girl I remember the actual tv series and I thought Gandolfini was brilliant playing the opposite of a Tony Soprano, a really bad character that Gandolfini infused with too much charasima and made us all love the bad Tony we should not love because he was that good an actor
I feel very sad --- he seemed like such a good guy.

Very sad.... I feel like a friend has died but we weren't friends....he just captured so many of our hearts and minds with his talent. RIP
