James Gandolfini, best known for his role as an anxiety-ridden mob boss on
HBO's "The Sopranos," died Wednesday while on vacation in Italy. He
was 51.
The exact cause of death is not known, but his
managers said it was possibly a heart attack.
"It is with immense sorrow that we report our
client, James Gandolfini, passed away today while on holiday in Rome,
Italy," managers Mark Armstrong and Nancy Sanders said in a joint
statement. "Our hearts are shattered and we will miss him deeply. He and
his family were part of our family for many years and we are all
grieving."
The actor had been scheduled to make an appearance
at the Taormina Film Fest in Sicily
this week.
Gandolfini won three Emmy Awards for his portrayal
of Tony Soprano, the angst-wracked mob boss who visited a therapist and took
Prozac while knocking off people. "The Sopranos" aired from 1999 to
2007.
