Who's James Gandolfini and what makes his death more sad than that of others out there?

no one is comparing how sad a given person's death is. but at 51 it was a big loss in a time where talent in the entertainment industry seems to be reducing with every generation. He was talented.

He sort of played the same guy in every show and movie he was in, but he did it so well. When tony soprano was pissed off, we all were pissed off.

I was actually being serious.  I have no clue who the dude is.

Saying James Gandalfini died to me would be like me coming up to you and saying it's really sad that Howard Becker, Ann Swidler, or Jeffrey Alexander died today.  Odds are those names mean nothing to you, but they're influential in sociology.  I was sincerely asking, who was he and why is it so sad that he died compared to all the other people who died recently?

I suppose it does come off as sarcastic, but I didn't mean it that way.  Well, maybe I meant it a little sarcastically, but I was sincerely asking why it matters that he died.

It is hard to imagine a candidate more unworthy to serve as president of the United States than Donald Trump. He has proved himself morally unfit for an office that asks its occupant to put the good of the nation above self-interest. He has proved himself temperamentally unfit for a role that requires the very qualities — wisdom, honesty, empathy, courage, restraint, humility, discipline — that he most lacks.
Those disqualifying characteristics are compounded by everything else that limits his ability to fulfill the duties of the president: his many criminal charges, his advancing age, his fundamental lack of interest in policy and his increasingly bizarre cast of associates.

it was impressive how he could play a character so different from his own personality.

(...)Whereas back then I wrote about the tyranny of the majority, today I'd combine that with the tyranny of the minorities. These days, you have to be careful of both. They both want to control you. The first group, by making you do the same thing over and over again. The second group is indicated by the letters I get from the Vassar girls who want me to put more women's lib in The Martian Chronicles, or from blacks who want more black people in Dandelion Wine.
I say to both bunches, Whether you're a majority or minority, bug off! To hell with anybody who wants to tell me what to write. Their society breaks down into subsections of minorities who then, in effect, burn books by banning them. All this political correctness that's rampant on campuses is b.s.

not confirmed to be the cause but like 99% sure it did. I should take it as (yet another) wake up call, im not much skinnier than he was, don't have the tony soprano breathing issues yet though.
