>> James: ONE DID YOU THINK ONE DAY I WILL WIN AN OSCAR.

>> NO, I THOUGHT I WOULD WIN A GOLD MEDAL, I THOUGHT I WOULD GO

TO THE OLYMPICS.

THAT IS WHAT I THOUGHT.

>> James: THAT WILL DRO.

NOW I WANT TO TALK TO YOU, BECAUSE WE HAD STANLEY TUCCI ON

OUR SHOW LAST WEEK, EBB MADE A MARTYN.

HE WAS IN LONDON, I WAS HERE, AND MY FIRST EVER MARTINI

TOGETHER.

BUT I DIDN'T KNOW THAT STANLEY TUCH SI INCREDIBLY INFLUENTIAL

IN THE START OF YOUR CAREER.

IS THIS RIGHT?

>> OH, TOTALLY.

I-- STANLEY TUCCI AND I DID THIS PLAY CALLED FAT MEN WEARING

SKIRTS.

WITH MORRISA TOMEI RIGHT AFTER SHE HAD WON HER OSCAR.

AND MATT McGRAPH.

AND MIKE NIK OLS CAME TO SEAT PLAY AND THEN HE CAST ME IN

PRIMARY COLORS AND PRIMARY COLORS, AND-- IT IS A CASCADING

SERIES OF EVENTS THAT HAPPENED BECAUSE STANLEY PUT ME IN BIG

NIGHTS, IN HIS MOVIE.

AND THEN THINGS STARTED HAPPENING.

I OWE MY CAREER TO STANLEY TUCCI AND HOWARD STERN.

I THINK HE WOULD BE UPSET IF I DIDN'T SAY HOWARD STERN BECAUSE

I DID-- HOWARD IS ALWAYS CLAIMING RESPONSIBILITY FOR MY

CAREER.

>> James: DIDN'T STANLEY TUCCI GIVE YOU A PEP TALK BEFORE YOU

WALKED OUT ON STAGE.

>> HE DID.

I DON'T KNOW HOW HE KNEW THAT I WAS THAT KIND OF ACTOR.

BUT I ALWAYS-- I SAID STANLEY, SAY THE THING, SAY THE THING.

HE WOULD GO YOU ARE A TERRIBLE ACTRESS.

GO OUT THERE AND STINK UP THE PLACE LIKE I KNOW YOU CAN.

AND I JUST, IT FILLED ME WITH KF DENSZ.

I DON'T KNOW WHY.

I'M FUNNY THAT WAY.

BUT IF SOMEONE SAYS YOU'RE TERRIBLE AND CAN'T DO SOMETHING,

I'M LIKE OH YEAH,-- OH YEAH, WATCH ME.

>> James: HE ALSO HAS A GIFT OF BEING ABLE TO SAY ANYTHING

AND IT-- ON IT.

>> HE DOES, AS HE KNEW, YOU HAVE THAT SAME QUALITY.

>> James: WELL.

>> JRS I DO WITH AN EDIT.

NOW LET'S TALK ABOUT BAD EDUCATION.

I'M A REAL FAN OF THIS FIM.

FOR ANYONE WHO HASN'T CAUGHT IT YET ON HBO, EXPLAIN WHAT IT IS

ABOUT AND WHO YOU PLAY.

>> I PLAY THE ASSISTANT SUPERINTENDENT OF BUSINESS AT

THE ROSSALIND SCHOOL DISTRICT, BASED ON A TRUE STORY THAT WAS

ONE MUCH THE LARGEST SCHOOL SCANDALS IN AMERICAN HISTORY, I

THINK.

AND IT TOOK PLACE IN 2002 OR SOMETHING IN LONG ISLAND AND MY

CHARACTER AND THE OTHER CHARACTER HUGH JACKMAN WHO WAS

THE SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT OF THE SCHOOL DISTRICT, TOGETHER WE

EMBEZZLED OVER 11 MILLION DOLLARS.

AND IT IS FASCINATING.

THESE CHARACTERS WERE BELOVED IN THE COMMUNITY.

AND YET UNDERNEATH IT THEY JUST, THEY ARE COMPLICATED AND THEY

MADE DECISIONS THAT WERE MORALLY NOT IN LINE WITH WHO THEY WERE,

WHO THEY WERE PERCEIVED TO BE AS PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY.

AND IT IS FASCINATING WATCHING THAT STORY UNFOLD.

IT WAS FUN WORKING WITH HUGH FOR ME AND ALL THE ACTORS IN THE

MOVIE.
