[Montreal Wanderer]

18 years younger than me - makes you think.

[clapton is god]

51 is no age. Sleep comfortably with the fishes, Tony.

[General Mannerheim]

showbiz people die all time, but ive never been so genuinely upset. he'll always be iconic to me.

...its also the realisation that there will never be anymore Soprano's, ever!

rip big T. "you never see it coming". he'll have been glad to die in the 'motherland' tho!

Who is Tony S?

[Bruce Rioja]

Who is Tony S?

He's Mr Benn's cohort. Do you not have a telly?

I do have a telly, yes. But nobody up there ( ^ ) said anything about a telly; somebody mentioned showbusiness, but I was assuming he was a singer like Tony Bennett singing That's Amore or something. When I googled Tony S I just got a list of spectacularly unknown bods:
Tony Stark
Tony Scott
Tony Soprano
Tony Shalhoub
Tony Stewart
Tony Siragusa

They could all have died and I'd be none the wiser.
So was he in the same programme as Mr Benn?

More to the point when did Mr Ed die?

[General Mannerheim]

you're a dick

Charming.
And upon what do you base that erudite observation?

[a1]

Tony Stark
Tony Scott
Tony Soprano
Tony Shalhoub
Tony Stewart
Tony Siragusa

dunno 'bout the rest of everybody, but even if you've only bin alive for six months you should get at least four...

but tony stark is a fictional character off a marvel (?) comic, thats had 2-3 films made recently.

tony scott recently fell off a bridge and died... he directed a coupla big films (he did that one with will smith and gene hackman thats never off the telly).

sporano is the revilvant person to this thread.. everyone knows what the sporanos were. its probably the reason why everyone owns a dvd player.

tony shaloub is that obessive compulsive Monk detective that's never off the telly.
tony stewart sounds racecar driver-ery , i think i'm right.
tony siragusa played for the Ravens and was even in the sopranos too.

0/6 is pretty bad.

Yay .... I got 1 out of 6. Winner .... though he died yesterday.

A blokes just died, you don’t know who he is? thats fine, so have some respect and say nowt? its an r.i.p. thread, for someone who meant a lot to millions.

Besides that, anyone could decipher who the thread is about from the above; funny how you picked up on ‘showbiz’ but not on ‘Sopranos’ in the line below? you just want to antagonise – which is how i came to that observation.

I wasn't trying to antagonise anyone. I genuinely had no idea who Tony S referred to.

Erm.....no. I've never seen an episode..

Sad; very, very sad. RIP Mr Gandolfini................

[William the White]

James Gandolfini found the best role of his life as Tony Soprano, and was magnificent, episode after episode. Brilliant writing helped him, of course, but he displayed an extraordinary emotional range, from psychopathic chilling cruelty, to desperate hurt and vulnerability, he created a character of real complexity, repellent and attractive at the same time, in probably the best TV drama of the last 15 years.

He proved himself an outstanding actor when finally given the chance to move out of the crass roles he'd had in equally crass movies. It's really sad.

[Bruce Rioja]

Well, I've never watched a solitary minute of The Sopranos, and couldn't point out Tony Soprano in a line, but found the fact that the actor that played him has died was basically unavoidable this morning.

[bobo the clown]

It's terribly sad that anyone, in full career tilt, should pass at the really very young age of 51.


It's also interesting how an actor ... and a role ... which is so much a classic in many, many eyes is also one which made barely a dint in many others. So much so that those who were fans can't conceive of people not being.

I watched a few of the early episodes, couldn't be doing with the interminable visits to the (rather attractive in a Sarah Palin sort of way) shrink and gave up on it. I know it's viewed as a classic by gazillions, just never caught onto it. As I said so, RIP to a 51 year old in his prime.

Me too... sometimes you do wonder how you have managed to avoid something so ubiquitous and highly rated.
