Flags across New Jersey will be lowered Monday in honor of James Gandolfini, the late "Sopranos" star who was born and raised in the Garden State.

Gandolfini died Wednesday in Italy of a heart attack.

Gov. Chris Christie ordered flags to fly at half-staff "to recognize the achievements and contributions" of Gandolfini, his office said in a statement.

"James Gandolfini was an iconic actor and will be remembered for the timeless impact he left upon television and film in the state of New Jersey and across our nation," the governor's office said.
