Over the course of her illustrious career, Lady Gaga has become a pop sensation with her multiple timeless hits. In addition to her musical career, The Oscar-winner has also earned acclaim for her acting prowess, with her performance in movies like A Star Is Born and House of Gucci, a skill she explored before embarking on her musical journey. The singer-actress made her acting debut in 2001 with the hit crime drama, The Sopranos.

Starring James Gandolfini, the show aired for six seasons from 1999 to 2006 and Gaga had an uncredited role in the third season of the show. Reflecting on her performance in the HBO original, Gaga highlighted how much she has evolved as a performer.

Lady Gaga Reflecting on Her Acting Debut in The Sopranos

Lady Gaga landed her first acting role in the 9th episode of The Sopranos Season 3. The episode titled The Telltale Moozadell featured her as one of the girls from Anthony and Meadow Sopranos’ high school. Gaga reflected on her performance in the show decades later during an interview with Entertainment Weekly.

“When I look back on that scene, I can see exactly what I did wrong in that scene,” the actress shared. The scene features her along with two other girls, who laugh as Anthony and her friends start throwing everything into the pool.

The Machete Kills actress further shared how her reaction in the scene didn’t seem natural or genuine. “I didn’t know how to listen in a scene,” she shared before adding, “I was supposed to laugh, and it was sort of like, cue, laugh… I see it, and I go, ‘Oh, that’s not a real laugh.”
