GQ's most recent July issue ran an excerpt from the book, Difficult Men: Behind The Scenes Of A Creative Revolution: From The Sopranos and The Wire to Breaking Bad to Mad Men, by writer and author Brett Martin. The piece was from The Sopranos chapter called, "The Night Tony Soprano Disappeared," and it centered on the show's two main alpha males: creator David Chase and actor James Gandolfini. After Gandolfini's sudden death two days ago, the timing seems morbid, but is purely coincidental.
Martin will be here at 4:30 to answer your questions, Gandolfini-related and more.
