James Gandolfini, who won a SAG Award (Best actor, drama series) on Sunday for his role in HBO TV series The Sopranos, attacked a “#1 fan” at an airport. The fan was persistent even after having his face pushed and his jacket grabbed by the collar. Gandolfini must have felt bad because he finally okayed a pic to be taken with his arm around the fan. Here’s the link to the TMZ video. (Note that TMZ videos resize your browser page.)

Gandolfini is will appear in three movies in 2008L: Kiddie Ride, Miracle at St. Anna, and an untitled project relating to Ernest Hemingway. In 2009, he’ll appear in Where the Wild Things Are.
