'Sopranos' star joins 'Entourage'

Rex Features

The Sopranos actress Jamie-Lynn Sigler has joined the cast of Entourage.

Appearing as herself on the HBO series, the 27-year-old will feature as a love interest for one of the show's characters in a three-episode guest spot.

The actress wrote in an email to E! Online: "Entourage is one of my favourite shows, and I'm thrilled. I'm playing myself which can be weird, so I hope I don't PLAY myself!"

Jeffrey Tambor (Arrested Development) is also rumoured to be appearing in the fifth season of Entourage, which premieres in the US this autumn.
