Hollywood actor James Gandolfini, famous for playing the character "Tony Soprano" on the former HBO show "The Sopranos" died yesterday in Rome, Italy of an apparent, massive heart attack. He was 51-years-old. Gandolfini is survived by his wife and two children. The actor was in Italy to take part in the Taormina film festival, when he suddenly passed away. More recently, Gandolfini appeared in the film "Zero Dark Thirty" which I reviewed on the Celluloid Film Review site two weeks ago.

The controversial actor began slipping into his character off-screen when he attacked a paparazzo, who took a photo of him while shopping in public. Video footage of the incident went viral. Other outbursts followed, which led some to believe he was having difficulty dealing with the fame that came from the show.

The Sopranos

Galdolfini won awards for his portrayal of the brutal, adulterous, fictitious mob boss Soprano, but it was not without significant criticism. When the show premiered Italian-American groups such as Order Sons of Italy (OSIA) denounced it as a negative, violent stereotype ridden portrayal of their community. Groups petitioned to have "The Sopranos" removed from the air, but were unsuccessful. At the end of the day, no one wants their cultural group portrayed in a negative light.

Hollywood Glamorizes The Mafia At Kids Expense

The Sopranos

Hollywood and its component, the music industry, are known for having their financial feet in mafia coffers, as they have funded a number of tinseltown and record label projects. As a result, over the years, they have and continue to, glamorize the violent, brutal and unethical lifestyle of the mafia, as though it is something to be proud of, when it is not. Hollywood and the music industry have done this at the expense of impressionable teens and kids, which deserves the strongest rebuke and denunciation.

Shows such as the "Sopranos" and movies like "Scarface" "Goodfellas" and the forthcoming "Gotti" biopic, glorify violence, hate, misogyny, promiscuous sex and thievery. A number of music albums have done the same. Youth, whose minds are like sponges, take in this so-called entertainment and attempt to emulate it to their detriment. However, it is not cool when they get killed or arrested for trying to behave like a criminal character on television or wax.

The Sopranos

Another former star of the cancelled cable show "The Sopranos" is in trouble with the law again. Thus far, three of the show's alumni have had serious run-ins with the law. One of them is Lillo Brancato, who is currently serving a 10-year prison sentence for a burglary that resulted in the murder of New York police officer Daniel Enchautegui.

Another incident involving Brancato transpired last week, when he viciously beat up another inmate, who was on the telephone. Brancato wanted to use the phone right away and refused to wait his turn.

Lillo Brancato

When fellow inmate, Alvaro Hernandez, immediately refused to get off the telephone, Brancato unleashed a torrent of punches. According to the New York Post, the one time star, has been placed into solitary confinement for the next month and deprived of phone and commissary privileges over the incident.
