As I sit here, I can't even begin that I am telling you this. I am not one of those people that go up to celebrities and have to get autographs - I of course, have only seen two (James Gandolfini being the second) but I would give them their privacy. Anyway, they are up in our area again filming some scenes and I met him. He is actually a really quiet, nice guy. He is staying at a local hotel where our work christmas party was and he walked in. Kinda cool! :p
 
Way cool! Did he talk to you? Was he nice to you?
 
Very cool. And since you're here to post, we can assume he didn't "whack" you.;)
 
My DW would love to meet him...just to give him grief that there is too long a break between seasons. :teeth:
 

Yes, he talked to me. I am "officially" in love! It's a long story ~ well, maybe not. I had walked out of the bar and walked back in and he must've walked in not 2 seconds earlier and he just had this "presence" about him. He wasn't cocky, didn't seem like he had an ego. He just got a beer and sat down. People were going over to him (not many cause it was really just about 20 of us there) and I just refused. He seems like a very private person but just to be in the same room as him was cool. And, he's not that handsome it's just something about him. I guess it's the mafia sex appeal that makes him attractive. I kept saying I liked him better in his bath robe :p

Anyway, he came over to the bar and one of our "newbie" cops told him that I wanted to meet him (at this point I was a few feet away from him with my back turned) so I walked over to him and apologized for that and told him I knew he was private, HOWEVER, my name is Stacey. He shook my hand (he has HUGE hands ;) ) and then the "newbie" told him I might have to continue to hold his hand and Jim (yup, my new pal, love of my life, "Jim") said 'What?' so I told him again, "I might have to hold you hand for the rest of the night" and he then proceeded to tell me that "you can do anything you want to"......*sigh* then I proceed to faint. No, I smiled and walked away and a few minutes later he bought a shot for a few people. So I can now say that I had a shot with Tony Soprano but I did not get shot by Tony Soprano.

Sorry this is long. Long story short - he was nice, it was cool and I am in love! :p
 
OMG! I'd LOVE TO MEET HIM!

I'm obsessed with The Sopranos!

You lucky girl you!
 
DH and I are huge Sopranos fans. We can't wait to buy the 4th season DVD set (our Christmas present to each other.)

Mr. Gandolfini is amazing as Tony Soprano, (and he gets extra points in my book for his appearance on Sesame Street) but my favorite is Edie Falco, as Carmela. She makes me cry, she's so good.

How very exciting for you!:bounce:
 
That is soooo cool! Good for you!
I think all the Soprano people are pretty decent "real folks".
I got to meet Meadow (Jamie Lyn Siegler) a year or so ago when I was on Long Island with my uncle who lives there. He was her teacher in HS, so he loves to tell the story about her graduation day with all the "tough guys" in attendance and in the front row! Tony, Ralphie, Pussie, Christopher, Paulie, and Silvio....
How fun what that have been?
 
ssshhhh!!!

I'll let you in on a little "secret". There is a little Italian resturant a few blocks from my house. The Saprano's go there for dinner every 2-3 weeks or so.;)
 
I am also addicted to the Sopranos...I joined late on...thanks to the magic of DVD, but I am officially hooked, awaiting the start of season 5.

I would love to meet that crew...I also heard that the group like to frequent the Borgatta Casino in Atlantic City also
 
I jsut recently started watching the Sopranos on DVD.....it seems like a pretty cool show. I LOVE Casino, so it falls into that category.

That's really cool you got to meet him! :)
 
WOW! Way cool! I'm always so star-struck when I meet a celeb! (not that I've met that many!)
 
Wow! You must have been on such a cloud!

I would have just floated all night long. I LOVE The Sopranos too, it's just a brilliant show with an outstanding cast.

I want to go to NJ and take that location tour :rolleyes:

Thanks for sharing your encounter - happy for you :D

(p.s. had to add for all the fans: Carmela was just incredible in the last episode (i think) where she and Tony have it out bigtime about *** ******* *** *****? She was so hysterical, it's like she was really feeling the emotion. Outstanding perfomance, definitely her best yet in the show.
 
Argh! Please post a spoiler alert if you're going to talk about what's happening in the show! Some of us without HBO are still a whole season behind.:(
 
moinab - ARGH! I'm so sorry, I actually did, but then rewrote a sentence and forgot to add it back in....I hope I don't have to look over my shoulder now ;)

I edited my post :teeth:
