But the coolest thing was. He was in character as Tony soprano. And sometimes add a character as James himself. That was great. He will be deeply missed.
The way he’s able to properly play the character in a comedy setting shows how talented the man was. It’s very difficult to play a pre existing character earnestly in a comedy sketch setting. What a king of a man.
My mum got a photo with him. She is a massive sopranos fan and on a flight to NYC he sat right next to her! (This was in 2009) and he was a absolute gentleman to mum! They wouldn’t stop talking for the whole flight and the photo at jfk was awesome
Oh i do it all the time instead of causing a scene cursing id say you know theres things you shouldn’t take for granted, like the ability to chew solid food
I wonder if he ever went all Tony soprano on his real kids, when they were mouthing off to him and said"go to your room" and stared straight through them like Tony soprano haha!
@@Lucy.Not.Luffy54 It is. I used to play AAA baseball and was a prospect with the Brewers. I had no problem pitching but the media obligations were brutal.
Once my friends Gf was like I don't get this whole Tony soprano thing he sounds like my dad (Her dad was half Italian and was kinda invovled with crime/not a good dad) anyway I was like no you gotta watch an interview with James Gandolfini. As soon as she did she changed her tune and she was like hes such a nice and sad sounding kinda guy I wanna give him a hug.
Such a mad lad...after I found out that he spent so much of his personal time with the troops, and being an all-around amazing, very caring person, I couldn't think of him more highly. Tony Soprano is arguably one of the greatest characters in TV history, and Gandfolfini was taken from us way too soon. RIP big fella, you were a treasure.
and try to talk to the terrorists’ victims for a change hey (: but yah he seemed nice otherwise even if we all make mistakes as you’ve shown here, but that’s humans for ya, live and learn…
I could see Gandolfini's shyness cropping up at first but he remained in character and the skit was great. Its hard to believe that he was a very shy guy in real life, he seemed so outgoing on the Sopranos, but thats why they call it acting. Its still so hard to believe he's gone.
I am often reminded of Ray Liotta, who normally plays the hardass like Tony. He is also very shy and reserved in person. I remember an interview he did when that he stated that was why he chose the roles he did at that time, because it allowed him to be something he isn't.

@ItsStillRealToMe DamnIt To answer your question - yes, absolutely. Everything is perfect in the fictional world where you only see perfection and rationalize flaws and red flags. But would I actually want to LIVE with Tony Soprano day-in and day-out in reality? Not a chance in hell. No sane woman would want to live with a psychopath IRL.
He was one of the greatest actors of all time. What he brought to us was unparalleled. He made Tony Soprano seem real to me. I loved the character. Him and Paulie kept me sucked into The Sopranos. James Gandolfini was amazing. Man I wish he was still around. You are loved man. RIP!
I heard a story once where James Gandolfini was on stage auditioning with an actress, and they warned the actress "James character is gonna get mad and yell at you", and they did, and the actress ran off stage in fright from Gandolfini going into beast mode.
+Khalid Hassan Shohag He was so brilliant that I still think Tony was a real person (although I know he isn't). Amazing and so sorely missed. Very sad :(
Weird, I just watched the show and people get "whacked" just because they said some stuff out loud. So I got to ask: did the show influence this reality you now complain about or was it already a child of his time? Just asking. 😁
I like how James Gandolfini was smiling during much on the speech,& yet still was able to keep into character. I cant think of a better person to play Tony Suprano. RIP James. You are one on the best actors I have ecer seen or heard in any format
Yeah he’s been my celebrity crush for years now. I find him extremely handsome and charming. He has many sexy qualities physically, and the personality seals the deal he’s so attractive ❤️😩
Finished watching the sopranos yesterday night, it was one hell of a show to say the least. James Gandolfini gave one of the greatest performances in tv history. I had never heard of the guy growing up because I didn’t watch much tv or read the news. This is the first video I’ve seen of James gandolfini outside of the sopranos, and it’s just amazing to see how nice of a guy he is irl. He really IS Tony Soprano, just without all the bad traits and I still find him pretty scary how after spending 6 seasons with him as a mob boss sociopath. He really was one of the greatest actors who ever lived, such a loss to the art of acting now that he’s gone.
True...Gandolfini was one of the greats. You might want to check out the last two films he made, shortly before his death. One is "Enough Said" and the other is "The Drop". Both are excellent.
I haven’t been able to find another show even close to what he did for me with the sopranos. I literally go back and watch this show over and over, every season and it never gets boring or old to me. Sometimes I even catch on to things I never noticed the first 20 times I watched it. Best show ever. Plus living in nj allowed me to visit a lot of places that were in the show and that’s one of the best parts about it.
@@voronazavr “use yr head” or “smarten up” is a common phrase for us NY/NJ Italians to say when someone’s pissing us off and about to get a smack. Trust me. I heard it plenty growing up, lol. But it seems this one of those things where everyone will hear something different.
He was the best! What an actor! And everyone who knew him said how humble and generous he was! His Tony soprano portrayal is right up there with the greatest such as Brando, De Niro, Pacino and Pesci in my opinion.
I actually saw it the other way, he's amused to have made everyone laugh, but is actually a little frustrated with himself for slightly slipping out of the tony persona to laugh. He's on live TV baby, he had to prove to himself he could do it. Thankfully tho, we all love James so his smirk was our smirk
@@GiganticWeen this is probably a more accurate thought knowing comments of James and himself actually, but yeah, very he seemed very gracefully human hey : )
God there are some people I just will never get over being gone. James is definitely one of those people. He was so damn down to earth and a really good guy! RIP
James Gandolfini was a great human being. There’s a Sesame Street episode that talks about being scared, and he shows up. If I were scared James Gandolfini would be the best person to make me feel safe.
@@i_wouldprefer_not_to1196 fun fact, it is the Italian word for fennel, also used as a slur for gay men, and massacred in pronunciation by most Americans
I’ll never forget the day I met James at a restaurant in Newark… it was a few years after the Sopranos series ended. I was star struck but I was also a little scared of him because of how believable his character was 😂 he was such a nice guy and such a great actor. I tried not to bring up the series too much but how can you not when you meet the great James Gandolfini
He was a great actor. All his friends speak to his generosity and kindness on the set. He was the exact opposite of Tony. He was good at his craft, was humble about it, and wasn't a nutbar like some of our other big name actors. Tom Cruise comes to mind. Amazing actor...complete nutbar IRL.
@@BinTtown I don’t really think Tom Cruise is that great an actor. Outside of Tropic Thunder (gotta give credit where credits due, that role was amazing) he plays mostly the same dude and his delivery as a “badass” is horrible. I can’t imagine even kind of being intimidated by Tom Cruise lol
No matter what flick or show he was on, there was never a time you can't help but smile seeing James come on with the confidence and his stance. You always get the urge just to either praise or cheer him no matter what. RIP Gandolfini
I really miss James Gandolfini. I’ve been watching The Sopranos again and it’s still so hard to believe he is gone. He was so young and talented. I’ve heard that he was the nicest guy in Hollywood. He was very generous and caring. His son was on vacation with him when he passed away. His son did a great job playing young Tony Soprano. His dad would be so proud of him.
This man’s unparalleled charisma, and blunt honesty leads me to believe he was a successful Varisty athlete
Maybe, but he doesn't seem to have the markings of a varsity athlete.
Also, he doesn't have the makings of a varsity athlete.@@TajemniczyKefir
You’d be sadly mistaken. He never had the makings of a varsity athlete.

Simple answer: he was just unbelievable good at acting
Somehow this character just comes to him naturally. Like it just seems so natural and easy for him to interact as Tony.
Well stated.
I think Bryan Cranston said it, a very good actor can do comedy and drama. Thats why Breaking Bad is also so good. Amazing actors.

Also the crowds massive reaction to James...The Sopranos ruled the 2000s
It was a legit show with an insane script and zero special effects and CGI BS.
You must of forgot about the final scene with Liva , it was CGI.
The crowd always has this reaction they are told to laugh haha
@@bobwebb418 you get his point c’mon lol
Yea. The Wire was better tho. As was Deadwood.
Never saw this. Absolute ownership of the character. This is basically a lost scene from The Sopranos.
God. Tony is so iconic
Yes I agree!!
Yeah he went all in and of course it’s great! Happy for this YT recommendation. I’m going to miss seeing Gandolfini for the rest of my life.
I heard a story once where James Gandolfini was on stage auditioning with an actress, and they warned the actress "James character is gonna get mad and yell at you", and they did, and the actress ran off stage in fright from Gandolfini going into beast mode.
He played so Tony so well. She probably thought it was Tony. 😂
Bullshit.
@@tyomies6168 found the fanuc
@@andrewwlewis1 found the guy who believes everything
At 2:21 you can see Gandolfini started to laugh a little bit but he kept his cool and kept in character
oh maddon' what an actor he was.
+Khalid Hassan Shohag He was so brilliant that I still think Tony was a real person (although I know he isn't). Amazing and so sorely missed. Very sad :(
what you gonna do huh
I've got a bad news for you buddy you getting cute with me?
Shouldn't you be on a roof somewhere saying hi to mark?
it's called Madden, and that's in the movie wolf of wallstreet. This guy is Gandolfini.
I love him so much. Such a damn legend. Effortless, absolutely effortless. Always.
Somebody donated their kneecaps for that dvd player
I thought it came out of the trunk of Paulie's Eldorado?
They found it in Feech’s garage
@@James-uw2xh Was he keeping his glims on it?
Lmao
🤣
Just watched Sopranos for the second time after all these years what a GREAT ACTOR btw I miss those days u could say things without being crucified
Weird, I just watched the show and people get "whacked" just because they said some stuff out loud. So I got to ask: did the show influence this reality you now complain about or was it already a child of his time? Just asking. 😁

"I've been charmed by a sociopath"
when he started talking after he smiled at 2:19 he was totally jimmy gandolfini, you could hear him go from james back into tony it was awesome to see
I like how James Gandolfini was smiling during much on the speech,& yet still was able to keep into character. I cant think of a better person to play Tony Suprano. RIP James. You are one on the best actors I have ecer seen or heard in any format
He is so missed...by so many, man his smile is the best throughout this!!! ❤️
literal proof that a personality and confidence can make you attractive
and having the makings of a varsity athlete help too.
What literal proof? James was a handsome guy tall and strong its not like james is an ugly troll that has to depend on his personalities
and could you believe that back in the day he had enough hair for a woman to grab with both hands
@@SexyFacelol nice reference. Just watched that episode - cheers friend
Yeah he’s been my celebrity crush for years now. I find him extremely handsome and charming. He has many sexy qualities physically, and the personality seals the deal he’s so attractive ❤️😩
Finished watching the sopranos yesterday night, it was one hell of a show to say the least. James Gandolfini gave one of the greatest performances in tv history. I had never heard of the guy growing up because I didn’t watch much tv or read the news. This is the first video I’ve seen of James gandolfini outside of the sopranos, and it’s just amazing to see how nice of a guy he is irl. He really IS Tony Soprano, just without all the bad traits and I still find him pretty scary how after spending 6 seasons with him as a mob boss sociopath. He really was one of the greatest actors who ever lived, such a loss to the art of acting now that he’s gone.
I ended it a few days back. Incredible actor, so versátil. Theadapttion
True...Gandolfini was one of the greats. You might want to check out the last two films he made, shortly before his death. One is "Enough Said" and the other is "The Drop". Both are excellent.
Just finished it today. I’m pissed I was a kid when this was on tv one of the best shows of All time
Just finished tonight. You took the words right out of my mouth. 🤍
Sociopath? He was a good guy.
"The mouthy one" was always Tony's type. Lol
Or as some inconsiderate husbands say, or their friends, that wife of mine, and that wife of his.
“You have a nice face” 😂😂😂😂😂 the threat went over many peoples heads here
In these days I started to watch The Sopranos ❤️ he is so lovely and great actor。R.I.P big man ❤️you will be missed
Hey me to lol
Be prepared to watch some great episodes and scenes again, and again, and again, and again ...
Man i just finished the Sopranos. I only knew he was dead until I finished the last episode. So sad 😔😢
@@johndon4724 really sad 😭
A legend
God, you can just tell by his face that he's having so much fun in this sketch. Miss this man.
I haven’t been able to find another show even close to what he did for me with the sopranos. I literally go back and watch this show over and over, every season and it never gets boring or old to me. Sometimes I even catch on to things I never noticed the first 20 times I watched it. Best show ever. Plus living in nj allowed me to visit a lot of places that were in the show and that’s one of the best parts about it.
Did you watch all Saints of Newark?
I've never seen it...but i just got Hulu, so i think i will start
@@davidpolston2643 You’re so lucky. I wish I could watch sopranos and not have to wait a week for the next episode!!! Lol You will love it!
I grew up where the show was filmed. Unfortunately, Satriale's is now a municipal parking lot
Boardwalk empire comes close
His ability to stay in character is amazing. I would've been cracking up the whole time.
He's such a boss :D
lmao so many likes and no comments. All that needed to be said.
His quick smile he gave for one second after how you doing? He seems like he was the nicest guy who played the scariest guy of all time, RIP THE GOAT!
Tony: "He's a fanuch, big deal?!"
Vito in hell with a pool cue in his ass: "Am I a joke to you?"
chronological this was in 2004 before Vito got wacked
@@EugeneVDebs-mo6dh Vito probably didn't even mind the pool cue.
LMAO nice
@@MereelSkirata Vito was in heaven first!
That pool cue... i wonder if it was chalked?

Ever go to tie your shoes and you notice the end of your laces are wet?
You watch this on TV?
I gotta watch TV to figure out the world?
***** You must have wiped your ass bare handed till you came to this country.
Trying to contain his laughter after “use yr head” 😂😂😂 he was one of the greats
1 year had passed i know... but I still wanna let you know that his reply was : "well, you shouldn´t have" and not "use your head" .)
@@sandorvas7720 It’s definitely “use yr head”
He said "Well, you sure had", no???
@@voronazavr “use yr head” or “smarten up” is a common phrase for us NY/NJ Italians to say when someone’s pissing us off and about to get a smack. Trust me. I heard it plenty growing up, lol. But it seems this one of those things where everyone will hear something different.
@@emmettace5178 oh ok thanks for telling me that, you are more in the right, then :))
The only thing missing here is Tony giving them a couple of bills so they can go buy themselves a sandwich.
Any kind they like, maybe a coke
Soft drinks of choice.
Garryy Cuupa
And a "sshoda, any kind they like"
Better not be Diet Fanta!
He was the best! What an actor! And everyone who knew him said how humble and generous he was! His Tony soprano portrayal is right up there with the greatest such as Brando, De Niro, Pacino and Pesci in my opinion.
2:22 that lil self-amused eye roll really shows the kid in James Gandolfini, RIP. I’m glad to have existed at the same time as him.
I actually saw it the other way, he's amused to have made everyone laugh, but is actually a little frustrated with himself for slightly slipping out of the tony persona to laugh. He's on live TV baby, he had to prove to himself he could do it. Thankfully tho, we all love James so his smirk was our smirk
@@GiganticWeen this is probably a more accurate thought knowing comments of James and himself actually, but yeah, very he seemed very gracefully human hey : )
Hearing people cheer for him made me smile 🥲
God there are some people I just will never get over being gone. James is definitely one of those people. He was so damn down to earth and a really good guy! RIP
I know what you mean
him laughing and breaking for a few moments at 2:20 was the cherry-on-top for me🤣🤣
James Gandolfini was a great human being. There’s a Sesame Street episode that talks about being scared, and he shows up. If I were scared James Gandolfini would be the best person to make me feel safe.
"So da guy was a fanook" 😂 😂 😂
How translate "fanook", can u help?
"Fanook" is an Italian-American slang for gay (or homosexual).
Finnochio is Italian for gay man I believe
@@i_wouldprefer_not_to1196 ...you're right. However instead of fanook it is finook.
@@i_wouldprefer_not_to1196 fun fact, it is the Italian word for fennel, also used as a slur for gay men, and massacred in pronunciation by most Americans
Big man, huge heart. He is sorely missed.
Him starting to crack at 2:18 is everything.
I’ll never forget the day I met James at a restaurant in Newark… it was a few years after the Sopranos series ended. I was star struck but I was also a little scared of him because of how believable his character was 😂 he was such a nice guy and such a great actor. I tried not to bring up the series too much but how can you not when you meet the great James Gandolfini
TONY SOPRANO: "Jersey Resident, legitimate business man"
Waste management, right? Whatever happened with that?
It's a retirement community!
Look at them making him do the perp walk!
Waste management consultant
Right lol
Gandolfini:
Crowd: *Unending applause*
RIP James a man that enchanted viewers through his talent and not by looks and shalow stuff
Lady: Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt you.
Tony: Well, use your head.
SAVAGE
And it went along really well with what he said before “you got a pretty face”
Galdolfini was a gentle giant and bore no resemblance to Tony Soprano - when his character was angry - he was genuinely terrifying.
He was a great actor. All his friends speak to his generosity and kindness on the set. He was the exact opposite of Tony. He was good at his craft, was humble about it, and wasn't a nutbar like some of our other big name actors. Tom Cruise comes to mind. Amazing actor...complete nutbar IRL.
@@BinTtown I don’t really think Tom Cruise is that great an actor. Outside of Tropic Thunder (gotta give credit where credits due, that role was amazing) he plays mostly the same dude and his delivery as a “badass” is horrible. I can’t imagine even kind of being intimidated by Tom Cruise lol
@@evangelionl0vr857 Have you seen Magnolia? He was really good in that one. Plays a hyper macho misogynistic pick up guru with severe daddy issues.
2:18 love he's trying not to piss himself laughing.
you could tell he was trying to keep himself in character like he almost lost character there xD
@@fatalxdecaay2817get into character like Al
No matter what flick or show he was on, there was never a time you can't help but smile seeing James come on with the confidence and his stance. You always get the urge just to either praise or cheer him no matter what. RIP Gandolfini
R.I.P. James Gandolfini. You are **hugely** missed!
It's 2021 and this still holds up lol James is definetely a one of a kind actor his legacy will live forever
I really miss James Gandolfini. I’ve been watching The Sopranos again and it’s still so hard to believe he is gone. He was so young and talented. I’ve heard that he was the nicest guy in Hollywood. He was very generous and caring. His son was on vacation with him when he passed away. His son did a great job playing young Tony Soprano. His dad would be so proud of him.
Just finished The Sopranos yesterday, and can’t believe the charisma and presence this man had.
