“Michael Chiklis (The Shield, Fantastic Four) once told a really awesome story about how back in 1985 he and Edie Falco (The Sopranos, Nurse Jackie) worked as bartenders together while auditioning for acting gigs. He mentioned how actors back then would give their work phone numbers to agents and managers (since there were no cell phones) and they’d get audition calls and call-backs at work. One time he and Falco were working and the phone rang and Falco picked it up. It was news that he had just booked "Wired” (his big break) and he said Falco was really excited handing him the phone and after he hung up. He went to shoot the film for 5 months and when he returned to visit the bar, Falco was no longer there (getting her own stage work while he was out). Flashforward now to the 2003 Golden Globe Awards and both Chiklis and Falco win Drama Actor/Actress. Chiklis said he had just won his Globe and was backstage and as he’s turning around he bumps into someone and it’s Edie Falco with her Globe that she had just won. He said they just looked at each other, their awards and then embraced and began to cry. This was also the first time since ‘85 that he’d seen her.“
