Julia Louis-Dreyfus opened up about working with "Sopranos" star James Gandolfini on one of his final films before his death in June 2013 at the age of 51. The 62-year-old actress starred opposite the late actor in the 2013 romantic-comedy "Enough Said" in which they played a pair of divorcees who fall in love. Louis-Dreyfus, who had never met Gandofini prior to filming the movie, recalled how he was very different from the ruthless mob boss he portrayed for six seasons in the hit HBO series.
"He was a teddy bear," the "Seinfeld" alum told Vanity Fair in an interview published Wednesday. "He was a tender guy, and so I’m very happy that he made this film.
"Not only because I got to work with him," Louis-Dreyfus added. "But the public got to see him not as a mafia boss, but as somebody closer to himself — who was very vulnerable and very kind-hearted." From 1999 to 2007, Gandolfini played Tony Soprano, the conflicted head of the New Jersey-based DiMeo crime family.
Soprano became Gandolfini's best-known role, and the actor won three Emmy Awards and a Golden Globe among other accolades for his performance. During her interview with Vanity Fair, Louis-Dreyfus praised her late co-star's acting ability, and she compared him to "The Godfather" star Marlon Brando.
"I would suggest that one of the reasons, among many, that he was so good at Tony Soprano was that that vulnerability was in place," the "Veep" star noted. "That made his character much more complicated and interesting to watch." Gandolfini died of a heart attack during a family vacation in Rome. "Enough Said," which was directed by Nicole Holofcenter and also starred Catherine Keener, Toni Collette and Ben Falcone, was released three months after Gandolfini's

Michael Schneider Variety Editor at Large Imagine you’ve been given a role in a pilot: The exciting news appears in the trades, you film the episode and take the cast publicity photos. Then your show is picked up! But there’s a caveat: Your role is being re-shot with a new actor. Devastating! Cue sad trombone sound effect. That’s why I like these kinds of stories better: The background actors, guest stars and recurring actors who eventually graduate to series regular status thanks to sheer persistence and talent. That’s the case this season for “Ted Lasso” standout James Lance, who plays Trent Crimm — formerly of The Independent, now just independent — on the show.

Ethan Shanfeld For Chris Perfetti, “Abbott Elementary” was not just another pandemic-era script on his desk. “I first read the pilot in the spring of 2020, and it was in no small way a profound moment,” he tells Variety. The actor, who plays the enthusiastic, delightfully corny BFF to Quinta Brunson’s Janine in the hit ABC sitcom about public school teachers, was sitting on a park bench in Atlanta, laughing to himself. “I remember chuckling out loud and looking around me and being very aware of if I was making anyone uncomfortable,” says Perfetti. “I had a strong feeling that if anybody had the guts to make this thing and make it right, it would be great.”
EastEnders star James Alexandrou became a well-known face of the BBC soap after making his debut as Martin Fowler when he was just a child. James, 38, took over the role of Martin Fowler from actor Joe Peyton Price back in 1996, when he was around 11 years old and quickly made his mark on the show. During his stint on EastEnders, he had his fair share of on-screen drama from an underage pregnancy storyline to time in prison - it wasn't always easy for the character, especially with feisty Pauline Fowler as his mum (played by Wendy Richard).
