Edie Falco hopes Louis CK will get 'another chance' as she derides non-release of I Love You, Daddy
She starred in his unreleased film I Love You, Daddy.
And now Edie Falco is speaking up in defense of the disgraced comedian Louis CK, who admitted to sexual misconduct after being accused by several women.
The Sopranos star, 54, spoke to Vulture about C.K., and explained why he shouldn't be completely barred from the entertainment industry.

Of course Louis, 50, was accused by five women - including one who choose to do so anonymously - of either pleasuring himself in front of them, asking to do it, or doing it over the phone in the last 16 years.
'He’s someone who admitted that he did what he was accused of doing and admitted that it wasn’t right,' Falco told the outlet, before getting more personal.
'If I was not given another chance a couple of times, there is no way we’d be having this interview right now,' admitted the two-time Golden Globe winner.
She then went on to explain why Louis should be given another chance.

'People who are committed to becoming aware of what they’ve done and changing, they can be our strongest proponents in an issue like this,' she stated.
Falco then went on to lament how C.K.'s film I Love You, Daddy was never released in the wake of the women's claims, due to its subject matter.
The Brooklyn, New York native played Paula in the movie.

'I was sad,' confirmed the Nurse Jackie alum, upon learning the film's release was cancelled.
'I know that he worked very hard on it. He shoots that thing and two minutes later he’s ready to release it, which is incredible when you see all the bulls**t that goes on between the end of a movie and when it’s released. Louis makes his own stuff and puts it out, and I love that chutzpah.'
Falco will next appear in the feature drama Vulture Club (no relation to the media outlet), which is scheduled for a 2018 release.
