What shocking news - he has passed away very suddenly, in Rome, at the age of 51, after a suspected heart attack or stroke. He was superb in the role of Tony Soprano, a ground-breaking drama. I bought Mr DD the boxed set for his birthday and earlier this year lost him every Saturday morning for two or three back-to-back episodes (boy heaven for him). Unlike the 'Tony' character he was a gentle and shy man. RIP James. Sleep well. DD

    I never watched The Sopranos but I saw this on the news and noted he has a baby daughter. How sad!
