Her first big break in films was a small speaking role in the 1994 Woody Allen film Bullets Over Broadway. One reason she got the part was her friendship with former SUNY Purchase classmate Eric Mendelsohn, who at the time was assistant to Allen's costume designer, Jeffrey Kurland. Mendelsohn would go on to direct Falco in his feature film Judy Berlin, for which he won "Best Director" honors at the Sundance Film Festival.
Falco, The X-Files star Gillian Anderson, and Ugly Betty star America Ferrera are the only three actresses to have received a Golden Globe, an Emmy and a SAG Award in the same year. Falco won these awards in 2003 for her performance as Carmela during the fourth season of The Sopranos. Prior to that, she was a regular performer on Oz. She also had recurring roles on Law & Order and Homicide: Life on the Street.
Falco has won three Emmys, two Golden Globes and five Screen Actors Guild Awards.
She appeared in the films Trust, Cop Land, Random
