What an acting legacy that James Gandolfini leaves behind: The Sopranos, True Romance and Zero Dark Thirty, just to name a few. And the last movie that he acted in is all about the plight and discrimination of pit bulls, called Animal Rescue. According to IMDB, “‘Animal Rescue’ is a crime-drama centered around a lost Pit Bull, a wannabe scam artist, and a killing.” In fact, James had a very big soft spot in his heart for rescues, and specifically, the often misunderstood pit bulls. And Last Chance Animal Rescue released a picture and statement following the actor’s death last week.
“We are very saddened to hear of the sudden passing of James Gandolfini, pictured here with his rescue Duke. A great actor and wonderful advocate for an often misunderstood breed. His final film will be Fox Searchlight’s crime drama “Animal Rescue” which includes a pit bull as a focal point in the story. Much beloved by those who worked with him and known to be a kind and gentle soul, we applaud his efforts to provide a voice for the voiceless and our prayers are with his wife and children, his family and friends as they mourn the loss of a life too short lived.” He was a big guy with any even bigger heart. Will you be seeing Animal Rescue when it is released next year?
