"The Sopranos" alum Edie Falco eyes female superhero role

Edie Falco Aims for Female Superhero Role

Edie Falco, acclaimed for her Emmy-winning performances in The Sopranos and Nurse Jackie, expressed her interest in portraying a female superhero, viewing it as an exciting new challenge.

Passion for Complex Characters

Falco thrives on playing intricate, multi-dimensional roles and has never found a character she couldn’t handle. She commented,

“Never have I said I can’t do that. You sort of find a way you can go and see, because you’re able to know you have to stop before it is dangerous. And I’ve been in therapy for 7,000 years.”

She emphasized the appeal of complex characters, stating, “That’s what makes this exciting. To play someone with a less complicated life is less interesting.”

Career and Diverse Roles

At 62, Falco feels fortunate to have portrayed a wide range of complex women. She said,

“I’ve been very lucky that kind of since I started working, female characters are getting more interesting and complicated, I feel like I’m riding this wave of really interesting and complicated female characters.”

She believes avoiding early typecasting helped her career, noting,

“I imagine if you’re only ever playing young, beautiful, sexy women, it’s going to get harder as you get older.”

Looking Forward

Falco also showed interest in playing a political figure in the future, joking,

“Maybe I can get something out of my system.”
