Who is my favorite actor?



After a really long time to decide between all variety of actors, I realized that Mr. James Gandolfini is the chosen one.
Who is this guy? Well, he is an American actor best known for his amazing participation in HBO TV Series “The Sopranos”, where he played the role of Tony Soprano, a family guy and crime boss in New Jersey who wants to keep balance between both sides of his life. This work gave him 3 Emmys for “Best Actor in Drama” and the definitive jump to success. He has worked in some movies such as “8 m.m”, “The Mexican”, “The man who wasn’t there”; and more recently as Carol’s voice in “Where the wild things are” and “Welcome to the Rileys”.
He’s my favorite actor because I loved the way he played his roles in movies and mainly on TV, he is a guy who wants to have everything under control, but sometime, he can’t. Moreover, I liked his philosophy:” I’m an actor... I do a job and I go home. Why are you interested in me? You don't ask a truck driver about his job."
And finally, just for the record, when he was working in “The Sopranos” final season, HBO promised to pay him 1 million dollars per episode. I don’t know why things went wrong, but HBO didn’t pay him all this money; so he went to court, demanded a big TV enterprise, and as his role of crime boss but in real life, he won the trial and kicked-ass HBO.
Some of his movies are really crappy, but his role as the mafia boss changed my way to see things in real life: you need to be practical, but never forget to be a human being. That’s why James Gandolfini is my favorite actor.
