Actor James Gandolfini, who rose to fame as mob boss Tony Soprano on the hit HBO drama "The Sopranos," has died of a possible heart attack, the network has confirmed to NBC News. He was 51.
"It is with immense sorrow that we report our client James Gandolfini passed away today while on holiday in Rome, Italy," Gandolfini's managers said in a statement. "Our hearts are shattered and we will miss him deeply. He and his family were part of our family for many years and we are all grieving
Gandolfini had appeared in numerous films before landing the role of Soprano, but it was the panic attack-stricken mob boss who would forever define him. He won critical acclaim and three Emmy Awards and three Screen Actors Guild awards for the role, which he played from 1999-2007 on the groundbreaking show.
"I dabbled a little bit in acting in high school, and then I forgot about it completely," Gandolfini told Vanity Fair in 2012. "And then at about 25 I went to a class. I don’t think anybody in my family thought it was an intelligent choice."
Although a New Jersey native, Gandolfini didn't expect to land the role of the head of the New Jersey crime family. "I thought that they would hire some good-looking guy, not George Clooney but some Italian George Clooney, and that would be that," he told Vanity Fair.
Fans and fellow actors quickly took to social media to mourn.
"I am heartbroken about James Gandolfini," wrote actress Rose McGowan, tweeting a photo of herself with Gandolfini. "He was a gentle giant and great man." The two were part of a group of actors who traveled to Afghanistan in 2010 to support American troops there. Gandolfini also went on a USO tour to Kuwait and Iraq in 2004.
Just last month, HBO ordered seven episodes of his new project, "Criminal Justice," according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Gandolfini's most recent movie role was that of a clueless billionaire casino owner in Steve Carell's "The Incredible Burt Wonderstone," which opened in March.
