wasn't he? >> he was in the style of ernest borgnine. somebody dwrou you couldn't feel sorry for until he acts and gets in role and he did something few actors can do and that is bring a back story to it and say this is a real character here for one situation but has a real life besides him you can't teach that. curt douglas told me an actor would be liked to be remembered for one role. he is not just remembered for tony soprano but good work on the stage and the screen. his father daughter tires from travolta's father in new jersey. i think it is more than coincidence he worked with travolta five times. >> in terms of his potential. he was 51 years old. many believed he had reached his peak as an actor and would have had huge roles in the movies ahead of him. >> i think he has two or three projects unfinished or in post
