Gandolfini bonus,The Sopranos star Steve Schirripa has added his tribute to those that have poured in for actor James Gandolfini, revealing he once benefited financially when his generous pal received a pay rise.
Recalling Gandolfini's big heart in a New York Post article, Schirripa, who played Bobby Baccalieri in the hit TV series, detailed his fondest memories with the actor and revealed he personally cut the show's leading stars massive checks after he received a bonus.
He writes, "I worked with him quite a bit, especially toward the end of the series, and we were all very good friends. He was a really generous guy. Jim had a bit of a contract dispute on Season 4, and when the season started, he called each of us into his trailer and gave 15 or 16 of us $33,333 a piece, and all he said was, 'Thanks for sticking by me.'
"There are a lot of TV stars who made a lot more money than Jim who never did that... He always cared about the other guy."
His The Sopranos cast mates Steven Van Zandt, Edie Falco and Michael Imperioli and series creator David Chase are among those who have already paid tribute to the late star.
Gandolfini suffered a heart attack and died in Italy on Wednesday.
