Westwood, New Jersey, USA:
James Joseph Gandolfini Jr. (18 settembre 1961 – 19 giugno 2013) è stato un attore e produttore americano. Era noto soprattutto per il suo ruolo di Tony Soprano, il boss del crimine italo-americano nella serie televisiva HBO The Sopranos, per la quale vinse tre Emmy Awards, tre Screen Actors Guild Awards e un Golden Globe. L'interpretazione di Gandolfini nei panni di Tony Soprano è ampiamente considerata tra le più grandi interpretazioni della storia della televisione. I ruoli cinematografici più noti di Gandolfini includono scagnozzo mafioso Virgil in True Romance (1993), il tenente Bobby Dougherty in Crimson Tide (1995), il colonnello Winter in The Last Castle (2001) e il sindaco di New York in The Taking of Pelham 123 (2009). Altri ruoli sono l'esecutore e stuntman Bear in Get Shorty (1995) e la impulsiva "Wild Thing" Carol in Where the Wild Things Are (2009). Per la sua interpretazione di Albert in Enough Said (2013), Gandolfini ha ricevuto postumo molti elogi dalla critica e diversi premi, tra cui una nomination al Screen Actors Guild Award e il Boston Society of Film Critics Award come miglior attore non protagonista. Nel 2007, Gandolfini ha prodotto Alive Day Memories: Home from Iraq, un documentario in cui ha intervistato veterani feriti della guerra in Iraq, e nel 2010, Wartorn: 1861–2010, che esamina l'impatto del disturbo da stress post-traumatico su soldati e famiglie durante diverse guerre nella storia degli Stati Uniti dal 1861 al 2010. Oltre a Alive Day Memories, ha anche prodotto il film televisivo Hemingway & Gellhorn (2012), che gli è valso una nomination al Primetime Emmy Award come Miglior Miniserie. Nel 2013, Gandolfini morì per un attacco di cuore a Roma all'età di 51 anni.
