I just finished watching The Incredible Burt Wonderstone before getting home and coming here. This guy knew how to make comedy. What a fucking surprise! And only 51!

8 years older than me... freaks me out.

I'm glad he got to do the Sopranos. He's a really good actor and the role was perfect for him. It's hard to imagine anyone else playing it so well.

shouldn't freak you out unless you're also as obese as he was.

let's face it; the man wasn't exactly in shape.

The sad fact about a heart attack is that your weight isn't as big a factor as popular opinion would have people believe. Cholesterol levels and blood pressure issues (which often go hand in hand with weight so I see were you are coming from) are bigger factors.

He also heavily smoked and drank sporadically from what I read in a old interview in a men's magazine. Heavy smokers/drinkers tend to pickle their system(more likely to die of lung cancer/liver failure). Similarly people who almost never smoke/drink have a only incremental effect on their system.

Judging by his last meal he ate like a pig as well.

At that age, if you have multiple risk factors and continue to eat loads of saturated fats and fried foods, then I think you owe it to yourself to get a cardiac workup.

They have CT machines these days that can non-invasively scan your coronary arteries within 1 second.
