. >> edie, we had yesterday on the show stevie van zandt, as you know. vie was shocked by the way that he got a phone call from david chase to be on that show given that he'd never acted before. as you look back on those years and the impact, the lasting legacy of that show, what do you think? >> you know, it has a whole new life now apparently as people have been watching it during the pandemic and now, like, the children of people who originally liked it are watching it. it's shocking to me that i did this thing 20 years ago and people are still talking about it. from the vantage point of an actress, how can you be luckier than that? i feel like a new wave of gratitude for having been a part of this thing. very lucky. >> you were so good. you're right, people are watching, another generation. you're also great on broadway. you're in a new play called "morning sun." you keep very busy. and you're excited to be part of the comeback of broadway this is an off broadway show. tell us about it. >> i don't think i realized how much i missed it until we got int

[ laughter ] stevie talking about him. i feel like when that -- when the show started -- and again, i don't, you know, i don't remember how i went into it. i think that maybe the premise of the show as it was pitched at the time when it premiered on hbo was a little comic the idea of, like, a mobster going to see a therapist and little stevie to me seemed like comic casting and then as the show went on i forgot it was steven van zandt like he just became silvio to me did he surpass your expectations for what he would do as an actor in that role >> well, it was great watching him develop as an actor. he -- he was good right from the first. you probably heard this, that i thought -- i read him, we auditioned him, and i thought maybe he could be tony and if he was tony it would be a fun -- a different kind of show, like a live action "simpsons" or something.

van zandt is here next. >>> >>> it's friday on "the beat" so it's time to fall back. and tonight, we are in the presence of royalty. stevier, actor of course, and for many, a member of the legendary east street band, literally one of the greatest bands in the world. we can say that performing alongside his long-time friend and collaborator bruce springsteen approaching six decades even if it doesn't look like it. he fits into a lot of news conversations because he's been an activist for a long time. he had "sun city" featuring artists ranging from run dmc to george clinton, which also topped the charts. he's a rock 'n' roll hall of famer but if you're not into music, guess what? you might know the beloved character from ""the sopranos."" he's telling all in a memoir and as if that wasn't enough, we have another icon from nbc news, the one and only harry smith. beautiful background, beautiful flag. veteran newsman from cbs where he spent over two decades interviewing everyone from president obama to borat himself. we have the footage there. fun stuff. thank you both for the conversation. how are you guys doing this friday?
