Edie Falco Aims for a Female Superhero Role
Edie Falco, known for her Emmy-winning performances in “The Sopranos” and “Nurse Jackie,” expressed interest in portraying a female superhero, describing it as an exciting new challenge.
Embracing Complex Characters
Falco thrives on playing layered and complicated roles. She shared,
“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 seeks roles that offer depth, stating,
“That’s what makes this exciting. To play someone with a less complicated life is less interesting.”
Career Reflections and Future Interests
At 62, Falco feels fortunate to have portrayed a variety of complex female characters. She commented,
“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, saying,
“I imagine if you’re only ever playing young, beautiful, sexy women, it’s going to get harder as you get older.”
