Actor Jamie-Lynn Sigler grew up on the set of HBO's acclaimed crime drama "The Sopranos," playing the role of Tony Soprano's daughter, Meadow. She has since gone on to appear in hit projects including "Entourage," "Ugly Betty," "Big Sky" and is the co-host of the newly-launched "MeSsy" podcast alongside Christina Applegate. In today's episode, Jamie-Lynn discusses how the responsibility placed on child actors has a lasting impact, and she shares the valuable advice she first got from James Gandolfini about acting coaches. Today, Alyshia and Jamie-Lynn also speak openly about navigating a career in the entertainment industry, which doesn't always hold space for those living with a chronic illness. Diagnosed with MS, Jamie-Lynn shares her story, proudly stating that she will never not represent herself on screen again.
