Former Sopranos star James Gandolfini reportedly channeled a bit too much of his old character on the show when he assaulted a paparazzi photographer on Halloween.

Gandolfini was reportedly shopping in New York when a photographer apparently pissed him off. The actor charges toward the cameraman looking like he is about to eat him for lunch!

In the video of the assault, the photog asks Gandolfini to “relax,” to which the actor nastily responds, “I’m going to break your f**cking face!” Some slapping sounds ensue before the camera goes dark.

Hey James, maybe you should take the photog’s advice and take a chill pill!
