The adulation that actors get often borders on the nauseating, and I think James Gandalfini actually senses it a little here and is uncomfortable. As opposed to most egomaniac actors who live for this kind of ass kissing.
Goood this is scary how much i cant believe that he is in fact an actor, that gotta be the best compliment for an actor i guess, i was scared of him all along
The Sopranos was a excellant televison program-a lot of hard work went into writing those televison scripts -the show made you want to tune in each episode to find out what will happen next-
There is just something about Gandolfini...something very memorable.
I remember every scene he was in during all his movies....even a couple that didn't get mentioned in this vid.
With particular attention to "All the King's Men", "8MM" and "Crimson Tide"...all of which were stand-alone roles where he didn't need support from the other actors to be highly effective....virtuoso roles.
The guy made Denzel and Cage disappear during the moments he was on screen.
@bugsymafiaangel what the fuck i would not have sex with someone who called them self bugsymafiaangel and looks at stuff because they where watching the sopranos on youtube and stumbled on this when they could just get it in hmv or what ever dvd stands they have in american and he did say he was born in italy
and this is why he will always be a recluse weirdo since he's badly typecast. sure he's fucking rich but without residual cheques there is no new income for him in the future due to his T portrayal. too bad.
I love seeing actors like James Gandolfini interviewed in depth but this is so horribly sycophantic it makes the whole thing horribly "fake" seeming. James Lipton is a horrible interviewer, not because of his questions, but because he comes with a predefined "way" these interviews are expected to go. The actors seemed to be expected to play up to Lipton and the audience of students somehow being the "in club" of acting excellence, which is a total joke as he was a failed actor/soap opera writer.
@BillionBalconies94 - Actually, Tony Soprano is in the Witness Protection Program as "James Gandolfini, actor" - hear that fake American accent he has to put on so that none of the Russian mob will recognize him?
@mkr10001 If you go back and watch Season 1 pilot and most of the first season he hasn't really gotten into the character yet and it sounds more like his normal voice. Especially if you watch season 1 episode 1 and then go and watch season 6 finale the voices are like night and day. as he gained weight his voice changed and the accent became more and more over the top.
Even though I know people say he's nice, and I know he's a fantastic actor of the highest caliber, I am still physically, and virtually afraid of him... Like I could piss my pants talking nice to him. But out of all that, he's one of my favorite actors, along with Pacino, DeNiro, Brando and Hoffman.
@JohnGolbunny When he was acting as Kevin in his dream he sounded just like he did in this interview. (His accent was slightly different from that when he was Tony)
i was born in 1999 lol yes im 12 but in scotland or if people that have something called sky its reaplying from ep 1 s1 and i watch it every wedensday
@MrCorndogEater yeah i realize that but I just think that after watching one episode of this show I would never want to see another one unless it was a specific actor I really liked. James Lipton asks strange questions and I wouldn't want to watch a whole episode of this show.
@NikeSB184 I did too but it's only because we're used to seeing him as Tony. He's an insane actor. Watch one of his other movies a few times and then it will be wierd seeing him as Tony!
@NikeSB184 thats the problem with james i think just because he played that role for so long he may never escape that role of tony and that may effect his future in acting i hope not tho james is a great actor !!
To reduce him to the role of Tony Soprano wouldn't do this great actor justice ... he was also great as mafia hitman in "True Romance", almost made you think of a young Tony!
As much as I loved the Sopranos, I sorta feel bad for James. He will FOREVER be "Tony" in everyone's mind. That's not a horrible thing - on the surface. But you can just FEEL that he wants to do more... and it's a difficult thing to do more when EVERYTHING you do is compared to what you DID. Even here - people are saying "it reminds me of Tony and his Psychiatrist".
Yeah, I know what you mean. Just another example: For a lot of people around my age, Carrie Anne Moss will always be Trinity, no matter what other acting roles she does.
It has to really suck for an actor to never be able to break out of a role like that.
I love the acting of this guy. It just stoke me: he should be involved in a project with another great actor: "Gérard Depardieu". They both have a very big physical approach and aspect to their ways of acting...I heard that M.Gandolfini might be interested in a new show where he would act as a cab driver...My two cents. ;) Oh! and! thanks for posting this interview on YT!
James Gandolfini should be contacted and told to portray Richard Kulkinski in a movie. I think this film would be the next Scarface. I am thinking cult classic. the dude looks just like gandolfini. This would be a legendary movie.
@VER0NIKKE No I'm not. Just poking fun at how Lipton drools all over these actors like they're demigods or something, and that it seems as if he'd like to blow some of them. Sorry if it offends.
why do you idiots write these ridiculous, rather unlettered, maximum-worded comment posts tossing lame insults at each other? don't you have anything better to do?
@VER0NIKKE I know exactly what you're trying to do. You're a bored teenager who's looking to rile somebody up and get this long winded fight. Well, I'd give you that but I don't have the time nor do I have the patience to put up with your stupid pathetic remarks. You think you're bullying me. LMAO! You think it's cool to bully people? Well, let me see you say that bullshit to my face. I guarentee you you'll be spitting teeth in a second
@cigarkingjg ..ooohhh..there it is again..hahaha the 49 year old man arguing with a teenager..you are so funny...by the way im not bullying you...im just making fun of you..i throw little pieces of bread and you pick them like a stupid bird....i've got you eating on my hand fool...hahaha...what an idiot....is so pathetic when you say "I know exactly what you're trying to do"....seriously you are a stupid old man....it seems you have a lot of time to waste...i told you before get a job loser ..
@VER0NIKKE Well, uh, I'll tell you one thing I've got you eating from my hand actually cause uh you're the one answering me. I didn't say you were bullying me did I? I said you may think you are. If you're going to quote me little boy quote me right. I know you're a stupid little boy who has a lot of growing up to do.
@VER0NIKKE Now go alone and grow some balls or have some implants. Anybody can curse somebody and say this shit to them online because they're hidden by a computer screen. You wouldn't dare say that to my face. Now I know what you're going to say "Oh yeah I'll say it to your face" wrong no you wouldn't this shit you're doing here is all for show. As for "loser"
@VER0NIKKE no I'm not I answer you on my breaks from my cell phone because you, like the annoying little shit you are, keep making my phone go off with your messages because I have my email setup to my phone. So let me tell you something either say this shit to my face or shut the fuck up ok? Cause I'm not wasting my time with you anymore. Grow some balls and get a life! I mean really
@cigarkingjg ....hahahaha...its so funny to keep fooling you...hahaha...you should read at playadominical comments.....49 year old stupid old man...hahahahaha.... it seems you have a lot of time to waste....i told you loser..get a job and stop fooling around with teenagers...you are the one who has to grow some balls idiot not me.....im just a teen fooling a grownup man....hahaha....now go and keep drinking your cheap beer and watching football on tv you lazy loser...hahaha...this is so funny.
@msnikish Look James Gandolfini enjoys acting it's his passion he does it well. He has done more roles than sours one so get your research done before commenting and another thing Hollywood doesn't give a shit about weight anymore I mean look at Brando how fat he got and he still got lead roles. So try updating your database on Hollywood a little. Take it from somebody who knows. Hollywood is a mix. There's newcomers who are breaking the barriers of looks matter now.
and the fact that he got a leading role on TV mind you , was also a good indication on his abilities that and Chase recognizes acting when he sees it, but like i said he doesnt have what it takes to be a leading man,Pacino has it DiNiro,Nicholson,Brando they have it,and notice in Europe films they show woman with stretch marks doing sex scenes and France's biggest sex symbol is Gerard Depardieau,stupid American women would think he's fat and ugly,thats why Hollywood sucks and doesnt know beauty
@bugsymafiaangel he wont , it wont work, not because he's not good, maybe but it would have to be a role so far from they usual roles he plays, what is it with you man? you think he is really that good? he's not a great, and he never will be, he was good in the Sopranos and he was good playing the usual scumbags he did prior to that, and thats it, now go watch Ben Gazarra in Killing of a Chinese Bookie thats an actor, or Peter Falk and anything those guys did with John Cassavetes,thats acting
@bugsymafiaangel Okay BUGSY MAFIA ANGEL......Let me guess....mmm...you are an Angel, yet you work for the Mafia....and your nick name is Bugsy.....or there is a Bug up your ASS and you want out of the Mafia so you can become an Angel....
@bugsymafiaangel i am not stuck in fantasy land, i'm just stating a fact , after Sporanos it hard not to look at him and think of that character, anyway was has he done since? not much, and i guarantee he will never get a leadiing role ever again in television or film, its not about being a critic, something tells me you dont really know how Hollywood thinks and is......and he's not that great, theres good and theres great, he's not the latter,he's a character actor who landed a lead in TV,
@VER0NIKKE No fuck you Veronikke. You're a wannabe. He don't think he's a mobster He knows he aint. He's a great actor and a good person is what he is
@cigarkingjg oh god, i dont have mobster name in my name thats 1, 2 sorry buy Brando was no character actor EVER!he was leading man and wrong about DiNiro,he played lots of character roles simply because he is a real chameleon,both Brando and DiNiro can play it salty and sweet, but Ganolfini can just play it sour,again he's good and that's it, he lacks alot of what makes a great actor, unfortately Hollywoods standards go like this:cant be fat, have to be really good looking, and have a charisma
@VER0NIKKE You kiss your mother with that mouth cause I know you don't have a girlfriend / boyfriend what woman/man in her/his right mind would want somebody like you. A hateful, evidentally uneducated person. If you were educated and smart you'd not use insults to hurt people.
@cigarkingjg .......49 years old and wasting time in posting comments in youtube....get a job loser....u r 49 old man....or r u unemployed....instead of messing around get a job .....or does your daddy still giving you a allowance....c'mon.....grow up....
@VER0NIKKE You're so mature. How mature are you? Wow! I'll tell you something ok? You don't get to talk to me like that and get away with it. Here's a fact you are the only loser. I'm not here constantly I'm here rarely in fact. I don't have to explain myself to you but I will say this. I worked damn fucking hard to get where I am today and no my daddy didn't give me a fucking lift. I'm a hard working person who works for his buck. Maybe it's you thats unemployed or living off daddy?
@cigarkingjg ........oooooooohhhh....did my comment hurt your feelings .....hahaha...why bother in giving me your worthless explanations.....hahahaha...49 years old trying to deal with a teenager and wasting time......go to work loser....stop taking money from your daddys wallet.....you are a loser old man...i dont give a shit about your worthless simple life.....by the way, fuck off and go on keep sucking your bosses dick....if you have one...hahahaha
@cigarkingjg .....ahahahahaha....and you are an idiot....dont you realize that im just picking on you....hahahaha....you are such a jerk.....49 year old man fooled by a teenager....hahaha....i give you that, dork....hahaha
@bugsymafiaangel ...mind your own fucking business low life loser brit.....maybe you dream with James Gandolfini shlong stuck in your fag brit ass and in your fag brit mouth....great britain is a place of losers, they almost lost the war with the argentinians, prince charles is a faggot married with a tranny, i shit on the queens face and i clean my ass wirh the national flag......hahahaha

I love the acting of this guy. It just stoke me: he should be involved in a project with another great actor: "Gérard Depardieu". They both have a very big physical approach and aspect to their ways of acting...I heard that M.Gandolfini might be interested in a new show where he would act as a cab driver...My two cents. ;) Oh! and! thanks for posting this interview on YT!

James Gandolfini should be contacted and told to portray Richard Kulkinski in a movie. I think this film would be the next Scarface. I am thinking cult classic. the dude looks just like gandolfini. This would be a legendary movie.

@msnikish Look James Gandolfini enjoys acting it's his passion he does it well. He has done more roles than sours one so get your research done before commenting and another thing Hollywood doesn't give a shit about weight anymore I mean look at Brando how fat he got and he still got lead roles. So try updating your database on Hollywood a little. Take it from somebody who knows. Hollywood is a mix. There's newcomers who are breaking the barriers of looks matter now.
cigarkingjg 11 months ago
and the fact that he got a leading role on TV mind you , was also a good indication on his abilities that and Chase recognizes acting when he sees it, but like i said he doesnt have what it takes to be a leading man,Pacino has it DiNiro,Nicholson,Brando they have it,and notice in Europe films they show woman with stretch marks doing sex scenes and France's biggest sex symbol is Gerard Depardieau,stupid American women would think he's fat and ugly,thats why Hollywood sucks and doesnt know beauty
msnikish 11 months ago
@bugsymafiaangel he wont , it wont work, not because he's not good, maybe but it would have to be a role so far from they usual roles he plays, what is it with you man? you think he is really that good? he's not a great, and he never will be, he was good in the Sopranos and he was good playing the usual scumbags he did prior to that, and thats it, now go watch Ben Gazarra in Killing of a Chinese Bookie thats an actor, or Peter Falk and anything those guys did with John Cassavetes,thats acting

@bugsymafiaangel i am not stuck in fantasy land, i'm just stating a fact , after Sporanos it hard not to look at him and think of that character, anyway was has he done since? not much, and i guarantee he will never get a leadiing role ever again in television or film, its not about being a critic, something tells me you dont really know how Hollywood thinks and is......and he's not that great, theres good and theres great, he's not the latter,he's a character actor who landed a lead in TV,

@cigarkingjg oh god, i dont have mobster name in my name thats 1, 2 sorry buy Brando was no character actor EVER!he was leading man and wrong about DiNiro,he played lots of character roles simply because he is a real chameleon,both Brando and DiNiro can play it salty and sweet, but Ganolfini can just play it sour,again he's good and that's it, he lacks alot of what makes a great actor, unfortately Hollywoods standards go like this:cant be fat, have to be really good looking, and have a charisma
