While the controversy on whether or not Tony Soprano is dead doesn’t seem to be letting up, even James Gandolfini admits he doesn’t know whether or not Tony got whacked in that restaurant.

“I have no idea what happened to Tony. You have to ask David Chase that. Smarter minds than mine know the answer to that. I thought it was a great ending. You decide.”

“The ending was exactly what it should have been,” he said. “Don’t look at me, I don’t have an answer. All I know is that it’s over.”

The cast was reunited last night at at Pier 60 on Manhattan’s West Side for a fund-raising cruise to benefit St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

None of the other cast members had any more insight to offer than Gandolfini, but all insist that Chase’s decision to cut to black was the best ending possible.

The Sopranos cast on the series finale:

Edie Falco (Carmela Soprano): I think the ending was just great. I mean that. I have never second-guessed David Chase, and I’m not about to start now.”

“Yes, I was at that table, but I have no idea what happened after the screen went blank.”

Jamie-Lynn Siegler (Meadow): “I have no idea why I had so much trouble parallel parking at the end. It was on the page, and like always, I played what was written. But I loved the ending. I can’t think of a single better way to have ended this show.”

Tony Sirico (Paulie Walnuts): “I thought the ending was outstanding. We got Phil Leotardo. We went back to our lives,” he said. “What do people want? More blood? A whole family whacked? I like that David Chase let the viewers decide.”

Steven Van Zandt (Silvio): “A conventional ending would have been a fraud. Life doesn’t have tidy little endings. Even some great songs just fade out like the last episode of ‘The Sopranos.’”
