RIP James Gandolfini

It is WEIRD to me when someone identified with one particular role dies-- especially when they die fairly young, and you know they likely could've "become" someone else to the world of TV/film, but instead they'll be that one character forever.  Now, sometimes it's almost fitting, like when John Thaw died not long after the final Inspector Morse aired, but this just kind of sucks and I didn't even care about The Sopranos.   (He was easily the best thing in Zero Dark Thirty, though.)

So I'll just sit here being weirded out about it.
