My current stand-in job is on the set of the Showtime television series Nurse Jackie. I work closely with Alley Mulrain, who is the long-time stand-in for the show’s star, Emmy Award winner Edie Falco. I asked Alley if she’d like to do an interview for Stand-In Central, and she was enthusiastic about the opportunity!
Alley wanted to do an audio interview, so here is Stand-In Central’s very first audio interview. We’ve uploaded it in video form to YouTube to improve your chances of hearing it. Alley has a lot to say on her experience working as Edie’s stand-in and for the person looking to stand in for a star.

This was excellent! You are so well spoken, Alley. Love the picture too – what a resemblance. It was interesting to hear you talk about standing in for Edie on Sopranos which was semi-regular, and now on a show where Edie works every day. You gave great advice about how to pursue stand-in work, and ways it comes about. Thanks for the interview, and good luck with everything!
