>> Jimmy: HOW YOU DOING?
>> GOOD.
NICE TO BE BACK.
>> Jimmy: IT'S NICE TO HAVE YOU 
BACK.
I HAVEN'T SEEN YOU IN QUITE A 
WHILE.
ARE YOU WORKING ON "THE AFFAIR" 
NOW?
>> YEAH.
>> Jimmy: I DON'T WANT TO SPOIL 
ANYTHING, BUT ONE OF THE BIG 
CHARACTERS.
>> YEAH.
SOMEONE'S ALWAYS GOT TO -- 
>> Jimmy: YEAH.
>> BUT I DIDN'T DO IT.
>> Jimmy: YEAH, RIGHT.
>> AND WHEN I KILLED THE OTHER 
GUY.
>> Jimmy: THERE'S NO NEED TO 
SPLA
EXPLAIN.
>> I THOUGHT IT WAS A DEER.
>> Jimmy: THERE'DID YOU WORK ON 
HIATUS?
>> I DID.
I WORKED WITH A GROUP IN NEW 
YORK AND THEY TOUR ALL OVER THE 
WORLD.
>> Jimmy: WHERE DO YOU GO?
>> THE LAST PLACE I WAS IN WAS 
JAPAN.
>> Jimmy: JAPAN?
>> YEAH.
>> Jimmy: YOU PLAY IN JAPAN?
>> YES.
>> Jimmy: WHAT'S THAT LIKE DOING
A PLAY IN JAPAN?
DO YOU SPEAK JAPANESE?
>> I DO.
>> Jimmy: YOU DO?
>> NO.
IT'S REALLY INTERESTING, BECAUSE
JAPAN FIRST OF ALL IS AMAZING.
THE AUDIENCE SPEAK JAPANESE.
AND WE'RE IN ENGLISH.
SO THERE ARE SUB TITLES BEHIND 
US.
>> Jimmy: WOW, I'VE NEVER HEARD 
OF THAT BEFORE.
>> IT'S EXPERIMENTAL THEATER, SO
IT'S DONE KIND OF A LOT.
THE AUDIENCE IS VERY POLITE.
THE SHOW IS A COMEDY, AND THEY 
DON'T LAUGH.
>> Jimmy: REALLY?
>> YEAH.
OUT OF POLITENESS.
>> Jimmy: YOU WANT THEM TO 
LAUGH.
>> YOU DO.
BUT HERE'S THE THING.
AFTER A FEW NIGHTS, YOU'RE LIKE,
I'M NOT GOING TO GET A LAUGH, SO
I DON'T EVEN TRY.
>> Jimmy: THAT'S WHAT I DO.
THAT'S HOW I WORK.
THAT'S MY MEN AT TTALITY.
>> YOU ARE SORT OF NEEDY.
>> Jimmy: ARE THERE COMEDY CLUBS
OVER THERE?
IS THAT -- 
>> I DON'T KNOW.
>> Jimmy: DID YOU GO OUT?
DID YOU REALLY GET TO EXPERIENCE
JAPAN?
>> YES, I MEAN, I'M VERY 
PROFESSIONAL.
I DIDN'T GO OUT A WHOLE LOT.
>> Jimmy: WHAT'S THE BEST THING 
YOU DID WHILE YOU WERE OVER 
THERE?
>> THE BEST, THERE ARE SO MANY 
THINGS, WE DID AMAZING THINGS.
BUT ONE OF THE FUNNEST, WE WERE 
IN TOKYO, AND THERE WAS THIS BAR
CALLED MOTHER.
AND A LOT OF THE BARS WERE 
CALLED LIKE GRAND FATHER OR 
MOTHER.
I DON'T KNOW.
>> Jimmy: BECAUSE THOSE ARE THE 
PEOPLE WHO DRIVE YOU TO DRINK.
THAT'S PROBABLY WHAT IT IS.
IS THAT WHY THEY DO IT?
TOCHI?
TOCHI'S FROM JAPAN.
>> IT WAS DOWN IN A BASEMENT.
AND IT WAS A DARK BAR.
THERE WAS ONLY LIKE IT'S SEATS.
AND YOU WALK IN.
THERE'S A SUPER COOL CHICK 
BEHIND THE BAR, DRESSED 
AMAZINGLY.
AND SHE GIVES YOU TWO MENUS AND 
A FLASHLIGHT.
IT WAS FUN.
>> Jimmy: UH-HUH.
>> SO ONE OF THE MENUS IS A 
DRINK MENU, AND THE OTHER MENU 
IS A MUSIC MENU.
AND THE BAR IS FULL OF CDs.
SO YOU TAKE THE FLASHLIGHT AND 
PICK WHAT SONG YOU WANT, AND SHE
SEES HOW MANY CDs AND STACKS 
THEM FROM FRONT OF YOU.
AND YOU PICK YOUR SONG, AND YOU 
GO LIKE NUMBER FOUR.
SHE PLAYS IT.
SO INCREDIBLY LOUD.
IT'S SO MUCH FUN.
>> Jimmy: YOU GET TO DEEJAY 
YOURSELF.
>> YOU DO, EXCEPT THERE'S OTHER 
PEOPLE IN THERE, TOO.
>> Jimmy: THEN YOU HAVE TO 
LISTEN TO THEIR TERRIBLE CHOICE.
WHAT DID YOU PICK?
>> STUFF IN MY WHEEL HOUSE WHEN 
I WAS YOUNGER, LIKE THE PIXIES 
AND BOWIE, AND THEN THERE WERE 
PEOPLE PLAYING LIKE, THE EAGLES.
>> Jimmy: THE CLASSIC ROCK HITS 
THAT WE HEAR.
>> CLASSIC ROCK HITS.
YOU HAVE TO WAIT THAT OUT.
>> Jimmy: YOU FELT SUPERIOR TO 
THOSE PEOPLE.
>> I FELT IT.
I DIDN'T SHOW IT.
>> Jimmy: RIGHT.
YOU KEPT IT INSIDE.
YOU WERE COURTEOUS ENOUGH TO 
KEEP IT INSIDE, IN KEEPING WITH 
THE TRADITION OF BEING POE 
HEI 
POLITE IN JAPAN.
YOU DID A MOVIE WITH DAVID 
BOWIE.
SFW
>> I HAVE ONCE.
>> Jimmy: THAT COUNTS, DOESN'T 
IT?
>> YEAH.
>> Jimmy: DID YOU TALK TO HIM?
>> YEAH, I TRIED TO TALK TO HIM.
BUT YOU KNOW WHAT'S FUNNY ABOUT 
IT?
>> Jimmy: WHAT?
>> MY FRIEND TOLD ME THAT DAVID 
BOWIE REALLY LIKED THE PIXIES 
TOO.
AND I THOUGHT, OH, I COULD HAVE 
A CONVERSATION WITH DAVID BOWIE 
JUST SO HE WOULD THINK I WAS 
COOL, TOO.
AND HE SAID OH, ME TOO.
AND AT LUNCH HE SENT HIS 
ASSISTANT AND BROUGHT ALL THESE 
PIXIES SONGS AND WE PLAYED THEM 
IN THE DRESS BEING ING ROOM.
>> Jimmy: YOU SAT AND PLAYED 
RECORDS WITH DAVID BOWIE?
>> YEAH.
>> Jimmy: DID YOU KEEP IN TOUCH 
C
WITH DAVID AFTER THAT?
>> NO.
>> Jimmy: SO HE DIDN'T THINK YOU
WERE THAT COOL.
>> I GUESS NOT.
>> Jimmy: HE MUST HAVE THOUGHT 
YOU WERE PRETTY COOL.
SO YOU ARE IN THIS MOVIE, 
"BEAUTIFUL BOY".
STEVE CARELL, AS I MENTIONED.
YOU AND OTHER FANTASTIC ACTORS.
AND YOU GUYS ARE, THIS IS BASED 
ON A TRUE THING.
>> TWO TRUE THINGS.
IT'S A BOOK, DAVID SHEFF AND 
NICK SHEFF WROTE ABOUT THIS VERY
DIFFICULT TIME IN THEIR LIVES 
WHEN THEY WERE HAVING DIFFICULTY
WITH DRUG.
IT'S THESE TWO PERSPECTIVES 
COMBINED.
>> Jimmy: DID YOU MEET THE 
PERSON YOU PLAY?
>> YEAH, I PLAY KAREN.
>> Jimmy: AND YOU MET KAREN?
>> YEAH.
I TALKED TO HER ON THE PHONE 
FIRST AND THEN MET HER.
>> Jimmy: SHE WAS PLEASED WITH 
YOUR PORTRAYAL OF HER?
>> I THINK SO.
WE ALL MET THEM A LITTLE BIT, 
LIKE STEVE MET DAVID, AND TIMMIE
MET NICK.
>> Jimmy: DOES IT REALLY HELP 
YOU WHEN YOU MEET THEM?
>> IT DOES.
IF YOU DON'T WANT TO STARE AT 
THEM AND WATCH HOW THEY EAT 
THEIR SOUND
THEIR SOUP LIKE A SCIENCE 
EXPERIMENT.
THEY'RE A GREAT FAMILY.
>> Jimmy: MAURA TIERNEY!
