James Gandolfini was known for playing Tony Soprano—but to his friends, he was a “big, gentle, beautiful, warm human.” On the 10th anniversary of his untimely passing, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Edie Falco, and more pay tribute to the iconic actor:
There was a real sincerity. Listen, I’ve been doing this type of work for a half century. I’m really lucky to have been able to do it; I’m lucky to be alive myself. But I’ve seen practitioners of this who throw on a switch and pretend that they care, and it’s almost like an exsanguination—they suck the blood out of you for their interview, and then they’re off to the next one.
Jim was not like that. And he did not have to act. All he had to do was open up the door of his own soul, which he always shared with the people that he was interviewing.He had a moral righteousness inside him, and when you ticked him off in those terms, something that he didn;t think was the right thing to do, you could feel it.He played tough guys so compellingly that I think people would be astonished by his intellect.
And he said, “They’re the biggest joy of my life. Have a kid.” And he got so gentle and soft and mushy about his kids. It was just beautiful. And I never thought of him as that kind of guy until he started talking about his children and then trying to sell me on the idea of having kids. Like, “Julianna, I’m telling you, it will enrich your life. You’ll become a better actor, you’ll become a better human being.
