Jamie-Lynn Sigler The Coogan Chronicles

    • TV & Film

Jamie-Lynn Sigler (The Sopranos, Entourage) of Sopranos fame and a lesser-known stint as a childhood popstar, chats with hosts Chris & AJ regarding all things theatre, perspective, and learning how to live (and thrive) within a diagnosis of MS in this episode of the Coogan Chronicles.

Jamie-Lynn shares with listeners about struggling to fit inside an ethnic box during casting calls, auditioning for The Sopranos, and the way acting shaped her life and career.

She also talks about the mentorship she received from the late James Gandolfini, and how the Sopranos cast was, and still is, like family.

Jamie-Lynn told us about what it was like going to college and filming The Sopranos at the same time, and why she decided to keep quiet about personal life problems while filming.

She shares her perspective on the child acting industry overall, and how younger actors are often seen as older than they are.

Lastly, she talks about taking a break from acting once she was diagnosed with MS, almost quitting acting, how she found her fit in a new opportunity, and taking acting classes at the age of 39.

Jamie-Lynn shares so much about how her family feels about her acting, and what she did with her Coogan Account money.
