Watch With Jen - S6: E12 - James Gandolfini with Jason Bailey
Episode description
Welcome to the unofficial second half of a delightful extended conversation about actor James Gandolfini that started at the end of April with me interviewing film critic, historian, & author Jason Bailey about his new outstanding biography GANDOLFINI: JIM, TONY, & THE LIFE OF A LEGEND for Poisoned Pen Bookstore. While I highly recommend you check out that earlier discussion on the Poisoned Pen's YouTube or FB Live channels (&/or wherever you get your podcasts), this episode of Watch With Jen works just as well on its own. Celebrating the beloved performer's diverse filmography & decades-spanning career as a character actor, in this show, we take a look at five of his most underrated or under-discussed performances in the films NIGHT FALLS ON MANHATTAN, A CIVIL ACTION, THE MAN WHO WASN'T THERE, IN THE LOOP, & NOT FADE AWAY. An engaging look at the tremendous range of one of the most iconic actors of our generation, this is a perfect listen ahead of Father's Day.
