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.
