James Gandolfini At The NICKY DEUCE Premiere

By Melissa Howland | June 20, 2013

We are all still reeling from the terrible news of the passing of actor James Gandolfini yesterday after suffering a heart attack while in Rome. Gandolfini was known for his role as Tony Soprano on the hit HBO show “The Sopranos,” as well as supporting roles in 8MM, TRUE ROMANCE, and THE LAST CASTLE, as well as his most recent role as Bobby Eggs in the Nickelodeon film NICKY DEUCE. Gandolfini joined fellow “The Sopranos” cast members Michael Imperioli, Tony Sirico and Vincent Curatola, as well as Steve Schirripa, who co-wrote the book that the film is based on, and “iCarly” actor Noah Munck, who stars as Nicholas Borelli II, or “Nicky Deuce”.

On May 20th, 2013 I was lucky enough to photograph Mr. Gandolfini at the premiere of his most recent project, NICKY DEUCE, at the Arclight in Hollywood, and would like to share those photographs with you. He was not on the carpet for long, but he was pleasant with fans. I caught glimpses of him saying hello and chatting with folks before, and after the screening with a smile on his face. His talents will certainly be missed.
