James Gandolfini, dead at 51.

There is something very wrong about that. He had such presence, not just in The Sopranos but in his movie roles, that it’s hard to believe he’s gone. Especially at the age of 51.

Here’s a funny segment from Saturday Night Live, in which he demonstrates what a believable (i.e. excellent) actor he was. He made fiction seem real.
