So on this, the 10-year anniversary of his untimely and unexpected passing, we spoke to more than two dozen of his costars, collaborators, and friends, to get a better picture of the real James Gandolfini.

Karen Duffy(entertainment journalist and high school classmate): Yeah, it was Jimmy, Bucky, and James.
