Life imitating art?

Last night I heard the news that James Galdolfini died in Rome of an apparent heart attack. He was 51!
Given his major acting credit it was inevitable that the news came with the abruptness of a mob hit.
After all he wasn't sick, was poetically in Rome, of a suspected heart attack and there were no further details.

Reporting on his death the BBC noted he was on his way to Sicily to receive an award for his depiction of an Italian, even thought he was a mafia boss, who'd strangle a man to death if he felt he had been wronged. Hey it's only business.

There surely was a love/hate aspect to my opinion of his character but by all accounts he was a good guy and fine actor.

Arrivederci Tony, I mean  James
