{Hitting the High Notes} ~ Gandolfini in The Sopranos

American actor James Gandolfini died in Rome, Italy.
The actor was most famous in his role as New Jersey crime boss 'Tony Soprano' in the HBO series "The Sopranos" which garnered critical acclaim for Gandolfini and the show. 
A detail from an illustration I did some years back for a weekly feature in the Ottawa Citizen called "File By Ex" which referenced the Sopranos. Here, Gandolfini is flanked by Syl and Paulie.
