When We Were Kids Together

This Guy…
I was bummed out, irrationally so, when I heard James Gandolfini passed away. He was a phenomenal actor, and I’d like to think, a solid family man. This video is so great because I feel like I’m getting to witness a side of him that I’m not used to seeing. RIP, James. We’re all slightly […]
