Jamie-Lynn Sigler reveals she has multiple sclerosis
Jamie-Lynn Sigler has been battling multiple sclerosis for nearly 15 years.
Jamie-Lynn Sigler has a new gig.
The 34-year-old was cast in an upcoming episode of "CSI: Cyber," People reports.
Sigler will play a social media director named Sasha in an episode airing in early March.
The announcement of her new gig comes one week after she revealed to People that she has been battling multiple sclerosis since she was 20. She kept her illness a secret because an industry insider told her that her diagnosis would hurt her acting career.
"I'm sure they were just looking out for me but they said, 'I'm going to pretend you didn't say that. I'm going to tell you right now that you should never tell anyone you have this,'" Sigler told People. "And I just thought, Okay, that means a lot of things. That means I might not be accepted. That means people will have their own ideas of what my limitations are. I had a fear that it would all go away if people knew."
The "Sopranos" actress is married to Cutter Sykstra, 26, and together they have a 2-year-old son named Beau.
