Edie Falco Says "It Still Knocks Me Off My Feet" As Edie Falco reflects on the passing of her Sopranos costars, she can't help but feel a sense of shock and sadness. In an interview with People, the Emmy-winning actress opened up about the impact of losing some of her colleagues from the hit HBO series. "It still knocks me off my feet," Falco said, speaking on the passing of several Sopranos stars over the years. "I think it's because we were such a close-knit group, and we were all going through this experience together." Falco played the role of Carmela Soprano, the wife of Tony Soprano (played by James Gandolfini), on the show that aired from 1999 to 2007. During its run, several cast members passed away, including Vincent Pastore, who played Salvatore "Big Pussy" Malanga, and Michael Raymonde, who played Little Paulie Germani. "It's like losing a part of yourself," Falco said, speaking about the impact of losing her costars. "We were all so invested in each other, and to lose someone who was such a big part of your life... it's just devastating." Falco also spoke about the passing of Gandolfini, whose death in 2013 came as a shock to fans and cast members alike. "James was the heart and soul of that show," Falco said. "He was the one who brought Tony Soprano to life, and without him, it just wouldn't have been the same." As Falco looks back on her time on Sopranos, she can't help but feel grateful for the experience and the relationships she formed along the way. Despite the passing of some of her costars, Falco said that she will always cherish the memories they made together.
