Gandolfini will develop and produce the film for HBO, where the actor has signed a three-year production deal.

He is also working on the documentary Occupation Iraq for the network about soldiers fighting the Iraq war and their homecomings.

I can see him in that role. I've enjoyed him in other roles, namely 'The Man Who Wasn't There' and 'The Last Castle'.
