I am Jamie-Lynn Sigler from the Sopranos and Entourage, and I'm making a movie in Maine today. AMAA

I once dated a girl for the simple fact that she looked very much like you. How creeped out does that make you?

ha.. not creeped out at all?? thanks??

When you were shooting Homie Spumoni were you ever concerned that it would be too good?

hahhahahahah

Cash or credit?

HAHA. thats my question...

James Gandolfini in 5 words. Go!

Mortadella sopressata pepperoni prosciutto gabagool

AHHAHAHAH

talented. humble. generous. powerful. interesting.

The final scene of the Sopranos at Holsten's. I have to know, are you really a bad parallel parker, or was that an act?

an ACT! im not claiming to be a professional parker, however, i can say it is very hard to pretend to park poorly.

Will you marry me?

yes

Say, I remember when you were in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade some years ago and they had you riding atop the head of a giant caterpillar or something. Was it as uncomfortable as it looked?

omg! That was the scariest/craziest thing ever. I was terrified the entire time that I was going to fall off, and i was convinced someone at Macy's didn't like me, because they made me ride that thing. My family makes fun of me to this day about it.

I was initially supposed to do a one episode cameo when I meet Turtle on the plane.. and I can assure you that that was NOT an accurate portrayal of me ;). When I was asked to continue on in the show, it was more about playing someone that would work for the story and for Turtle's character than playing myself.. but I think they did try and keep in mind that I was doing some kind of representing, and so I think the writers were very respectful of that.

Did you not see that Jackie jr was a jackass the whole time?? wtf?

i was blinded by love.

How did you end up being a part of the Lonely Island's Jizz in my Pants music video?

I have a mutual friend with Andy Samberg, I was in NY when they were shooting and they asked me. LUCKY break for me!! i LOOOOVE the Lonely Island. Have you seen Jack Sparrow?? Ive watched/listened to it a thousand times.

Best burger on long island? Can All American Burger in Massapequa be beat?

ahh.. tough one. I have to be honest, I got all my burgers growing up at diners. saaaad. but best burger in NY? PJ Clarkes!

I hear the cast of the Sopranos parties pretty hard. Any fun stories?

HA! who told you that one??

Did you choose this current movie your working on, or did the movie choose you?

we sort of found each other. my agent gave me the script and I Skyped with the director, Joel.. and the rest is history ;)

Will you give James Gandolfini my phone number?

absolutely

What would you do if you wern't an actress?

hmm.. thats always a hard question. if i COULDNT act, i think I'd be a teacher.

You were in a community theater production of Anything Goes with my cousin on Long Island. It was like right after you got cast on the Sopranos, and I remember my parents explaining to me that a girl in the show had just gotten a part in a big TV show.

ha! that was my high school production. Love that :)

Hey, welcome to Maine! There was an episode of Sopranos where your character visits Bates College. It wasn't really Bates, I don't think, but at the time the episode aired, I was living about two blocks from the Bates campus in Lewiston.

Anyways...pros and cons to filming in Maine? How are the people? Quite a few movies have been filmed here in the last five or ten years, and some of us would like to see that trend continue.

the people here in Maine have been SO nice and welcoming. It is so beautiful here, and such a perfect time of year to be filming. I am excited that I get to shoot a scene tomorrow where I eat some lobster (FINALLY!!) :)

When I see this movie I will scrutinize the heck outta that lobsta' scene.

From a man who's eaten a couple lobstas over the years, I will nominate you for an academy award if you can shell that badboy proper.

Edit: Figured I'd throw a little New Englander accent on the lobsta' to emphasize my devotion to lobsta'

shoot. pressure is on. will do my best!

You fully had my hopes up that the whole Entourage crew was flying to Auckland, New Zealand (where I live) at the end of season 6. No body ever comes here. That would've been awesome.

Not really a question, just an expression of a broken heart.

that WOULD have been awesome. :(

Tell us about your new movie!

its an indie called Anatomy of the Tide. a coming of age story that takes place here in Maine. the cast is SO talented. I'm very proud to be a part of it. I am currently watching the multi-talented Gabe Basso drop some serious beats in between our scenes this evening.

What was your favorite part about doing Entourage?

I was a fan of the show from day 1 so getting to be on that set is exactly how you think it would be!! It was a blast. I got to work with my friends, in amazing locations.. that set was so fun. Everyone was having a great time, and I am very grateful for the time I got on that show.

Do you still fly commercial? It would probably be really awkward sitting next to some Entourage fan on a flight!

hahaha. um yes, i fly commercial always. unless i find a fancy friend or something..!

The Sopranos was one of the best shows on TV. Do you watch any other HBO shows? Boardwalk Empire?

LOVE Boardwalk Empire. Huge Entourage fan (obviously) from the beginning Sex and the City Hung True Blood

just bought the Wire to watch !

OH!!! how can i forget CURB!!!

What were your relationships with your fictional parents and sibling like in real life? And do you guys still keep in touch?

robert iler is still one of my best friends. he is like my brother. and yes, we all keep tabs on eachother. :)

You basically grew up on camera on the Sopranos, what things about your adolescent years do you wish you had a "normal" go at?

i think i had a very normal adolescence. i was very very lucky. got to graduate school (jericho high!!) with all of my friends.. very fortunate.

What qualities do you look for in a man? What are qualities that would turn you off indefinitely?

complaining and complacency are HUGE turn offs.

What was it like being on the set of How I Met Your Mother for an episode? Is Josh Radnor at all like the hopeless romantic that Ted is?

i LOVE LOVE that show, and had a great time. That cast is ridiculously funny and talented. I'd do craft service on that set.

What is your favorite type of lunch meat?

hmmm... smoked turkey??

Based on your pic it looks like you're rocking some pretty bangin' bangs. Is that the way your hair is throughout the movie? If so, I'm totes watching it. Love those bangs.

yes! a more "serious" look. taking some getting used to though, lemme tell ya! but thanks :)

What so far has been the highlight of your career? What's been the biggest "fuck me" sort of moment?

tough oneeeee.. i get a lot of those "moments" still :). I know how lucky i am every day I get to work.
But I'd say being on Broadway was a HUGE moment for me.. and when they did the Sopranos tribute at the Emmys. When Robert and I ascended those stairs and saw all these amazing people in the audience.. it was very cool.

How did you get your job on the Sopranos? What was the initial interview / casting session like, and what do you think made you stand out from the other candidates?

nope.. it was like any other audition process. then had some call backs and a screen test. my first time doing that! I was so young, and unaware..which probably worked for me at the time.

Please describe your character in the movie, "Gina Harper," and how she differs from your normal personality.

Gina (short for Virginia) Harper is a wall street "maven".. she runs a hedgefund in NYC and is a bit out of her element here in Maine. She makes a visit for a close friend, and finds herself involved with one of the locals when he uncovers a story that could change a lot of peoples lives.

What's one of your favorite fall 2011 t.v. series?

i really liked Maria Bello's show.

I love you, and love The Sopranos. But here is the question: Do you still have any contact with the other actors? And what is your favorite episode? Good luck with your new movie!

yes! i speak to them of course! my favorite episode was the "College" episode.

NOWAY! I just started finally watching through The Sopranos (I'm in the UK and they only just started airing through the entire show regularly) and I'm more than blown away by it...

I just realized I don't have a question..

EDIT: To clarify, obviously I just wasn't aware that it aired straight away.. And I would've been 8 at the time, not sure I would've understood it.

shame.. but i like the UK! :)

What is the most important characteristic of yourself that you would consider is vital to your acting career?

stubborn. (which means I dont give up easily)

My Grandmother's maiden name is Sigler, what is your ethnic/racial heritage? I'm pretty sure she told me that we are distantly related

fantastic cousin!! I believe the Sigler part of me is Romanian.
