This week, we’re revisiting our conversation with Emmy-award winning actress Edie Falco. She’s best known for her roles in The Sopranos, Oz and Nurse Jackie. When she spoke to us in 2018, she had just starred in the movie Outside In. Edie talks to Jesse about landing her first acting gig — which she started the day after she graduated from acting school at SUNY Purchase. Plus, Edie tells us why she thinks comedy isn’t for her, and what it was like to work with James Gandolfini for nearly a decade on The Sopranos.
