If James Gandolfini was so good why did he do nothing else of note other than play a fat guy named Tony?

why did people shit on this movie so much?

Was he fat and bald in real life or just for the character?

Because he fucking died.

Because the political symbolism was too fucking hamfisted the early 2010s.

As if a fucking career criminal wouldn't be a cutthroat psychopath whether we're in Capitalism, Feudalism, or goddamn 1960s Moscow.

I liked him in this and its a completely different roll than 'fat italian'.

He was also in crimson dive as a Petty officer

No he was fat. The coke and the fame made him morbidly obese by the end of the series.

Was he bald irl too or just for the character?

He wasn't that good. Michael Imperoli was far better.

He was bald. Aging and genetics got to him

No it was Analyse This

People didn’t realize until it was too late.

Just saw him getting punched in the nuts and thrown down some stairs in Get Shorty the other day. Is that not enough legacy for you, OP.

He was great in Crimson Tide and True Romance tho. I think he got the role of T because of True Romance

He was chunky already, buy he did gain a lot of weight specifically for the role after they shot the pilot (you can see him vary in weight in the pilot due to reshoots). Then he just kept eating drinking and snorting.

He was also the CIA director in zero dark thirty

Was he Italian irl too or just for the character?
