Dead of apparent heart attack at 51.  Great actor.

Hoax. EDIT ... or at least that's what I was reading about half an hour ago. Now more people are picking it up and not sure what to think.

Variety and HBO confirmed it shortly after I shared the news in IRC.

This guy was such a good actor, sometimes a lot better than the material he was cast in. This sucks.

Quite common for someone with his weight and stress level, sadly.

Perhaps I should use this as an opportunity to sit down and watch the Sopranos.  I've never seen it.

True enough. Maybe I should use this as an opportunity to get off my arse and do some exercise...

The Sopranos is good, well worth watching, but it's overly long and some of the writers were better than others. IMO they could have cut it down to 3 seasons (from 6) and made something much more focused.

I predict a slew of Fark threads where the headline abruptly cuts off mid sentence.

Sad though. Sopranos really was a great piece of work. First show I ever bought by the season, and then just sat down and watched all the way through.

Maybe it inspires just one of his fans to get off their butts and take their health seriously. That would be a positive.

Probably, but I would imagine he would have liked to tack on another 3 decades before it happened. He had an 8 month old baby  Heartbreak

When did you get so old?  I still think of you as a boy.  I think of Paelos and Schild as little boys.  I command all of you to stop aging immediately.  And no one can die before me.  Srsly. 

I've been going backwards in time for every birthday for several years now.  I'm not even entirely sure I've been born yet.
