NEW ORLEANS (AP) ? Actor James Gandolfini - Tony Soprano himself - will reign as celebrity monarch Bacchus during the 2007 Carnival season, the Krewe of Bacchus said Monday.
Gandolfini, who spent lots of time in New Orleans and Louisiana recently while filming the movie "All the King's Men," is best known for his Emmy Award-winning role as the head of a New Jersey crime family on the HBO series "The Sopranos."
"He fell in love with our city and he wants to do a lot to help us get back on our feet," said Pip Brennan, captain of the Krewe of Bacchus.
New Orleans' signature celebration will have 31 parades over 10 days, compared with 28 parades in eight days in 2006, just months after Hurricane Katrina devastated the city. The Bacchus parade will be the evening of Feb. 18, two days before Mardi Gras.
