I haven't seen you since we shot that fucking Fucking movie New Orleans, but I was telling Sean that I walked in when I landed. I went to watch the scenes and Deniro was you know, they never had just met Hello, Joe, and he had fucked them up a little bit Like, you know how I was cool trying to be cool with him and then finally even fucking LL gets humbled Even like the near the first two takes he just fell apart and I'm like wow That's funny that you know and then it was my first Before my thing with him I had like two lines and John came over and he was I'm friends with John

So at least I knew I was home. So now I could and the first take I looked at him And you see every actor that he's played you see him in the fucking retard Fucking dear hunter you see him as Franky Angel. Oh, they're like cut Joey. You okay? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Give me a minute You know say yeah, but it was so it's great to see you great to see you great I bless you on all your work. Thank you. That's thank you back. It's like fucking walking dead Just not started a fucking valve that show man. Yeah, that was it. That was a special one Now let me ask something you were a boxer first. No, man, I boxed with him Yeah, I learned how to box from I thought that was your first dream. No, I mean, you know

You know, I've learned a lot. I've learned a lot from boxing I think in in terms of in terms of you know with with this with what we do I mean like, you know, I came up, you know, Sean I can't I can't I can't really say enough about how much I've I've learned from him and How much this friendship means to me, you know, I mean me and Sean come from the the same place we met in DC Sean came out here first and this motherfucker man, you know when it went when you know I was getting in all kinds of trouble growing up and you know, I played sports. I did did baseball football and You know, I ended up I ended up not being able to finish college because I was always getting in trouble

I mean one thing after another I ended up moving to Move into Russia and that's where I studied acting. I lived in Moscow for a couple years and you know, right before all that You know, I knew Sean and Sean was a professional boxer and fucking, you know, I heard Sean's I heard Sean's interview with you Which was great, but you know, he's a modest guy, but you know, he went to the Nationals I mean, he was a see, you know, he's an undefeated pro I mean, he's a serious motherfucker and the thing also was Sean, you know Just you also gotta remember he's a division one wrestler and you know, not to talk about but in a deeper darker time in our lives Sean Kerrigan was the most lethal dude. I've ever seen in my life on the street and and I'll tell you something

Never a guy to talk shit. Never a guy to start fights Man, but if you want to be a bully around him, it's not gonna work Not gonna work doesn't matter. You got a knife. You got a gun doesn't matter. It's not gonna work and and I've seen it and but you know the You know, one of the things with Sean and I you know, what I don't want to talk about this stupid motherfucker the whole time I can kind of hate him, but what I'll say is, you know, you know, Sean came out here and you know, he taught Did you guys get into the next action-star thing? Yeah So, I mean you got to understand like what that was, you know, he came he came out here and you're Sean

You know in DC, there's no frame of reference. You want to be an actor that doesn't exist where we're from There's no, you know, nobody really knows what that kind of kind of means and you know, Sean came out here really with nothing He gets on this TV show right in the beginning right in the the sort of birth of reality TV right when American Idol was started And they wanted to do like an American Idol and anyway, this is my fucking version of your story. So you just deal with it, dude. So You know right in the beginning of Reality TV, you know, he gets on basically the American Idol But for actors for action stars and the the criteria was that you could have no real TV experience

So he came out here just being a fighter Coming out here. He wanted to act he had done some things back in DC He gets on that show and and the guy who gets to win that show gets a star in a two-hour Movie aired on NBC directed by Joel Silver Produced by fucking Joe good enough right but that is a huge gig man for somebody coming out to LA with night It's huge Sean gets on this thing and he wins the whole fucking thing and They had to put him in hiding So he wouldn't tell anybody because everybody thought this show was gonna be the next American Idol and what was doing for

I don't know Kelly Clarkson all these people was gonna do for these action stars And this dude just came in and won the whole fucking thing and to me, you know, I didn't even know that he had won it I just know knew that he did it and for me that was the biggest celebrity That was the coolest. I mean when I first came out here I would go to nightclubs and I'd be like, hey man I'm with the dude from fucking you know next action star and shit the show hadn't even come out But I thought my idiot mind that that was you know, the end-on be all you know And he came and he won it and they put him in hiding and you know, they secured holding deals with him

They you know, I see him came in and and and you know represented him And you know, he was poised to be this huge action star and I know him I know how talented he is and I know how good he is and I knew that of course this all made sense They ended up airing the show much later than they thought they're gonna air the show and the show was a huge frickin flop And they ended up it ended up not being the American Idol what they thought it was gonna do and as Hollywood is Hollywood These motherfuckers and again, this is my version of the story But these these folks as much as they were pumping them up now They're all turning their back on him and backing out one after another after another and all of a sudden this guy who has this

What do you say meteoric meteorite? Yeah, meteoric. Yeah. Thank you brother. So he's got this fucking rise Just like that. They kind of leave him high and dry and the movie doesn't you know the the the movie on on NBC doesn't doesn't do what they thought it was gonna do and so this guy gets a taste of of the falsehood and the bullshit that this town can can give you and 99.9% of these people who this would happen to would tuck tail and run would pack would fucking leave man Psychiatrists for a year and a half at home. That's it. That's it And and and this motherfucker because he is a fighter because he is a fighter He is a real fucking man and a real fucking fighter. He said hey look man. I'm not let this thing lick me

He could have gone fought in the UFC. He could have gone and done a million different things He was undefeated fucking boxer division one wrestler and and and what he decided to do is invest and dive into acting school And to learn and learn and put his work in he went and did open mic nights every night And I have so much respect for stand-up comics I mean I envy you guys because you guys don't need to be hired to do to do your art You know for me, I got a you know I got to go you know grind hit the pavement jerk people off do whatever it takes to get hired on to a job I love the fact that stand-ups you just need an audience and a mic and I'm so envious of that

but what I saw Sean do is Work day in and day out every single night getting up there performing somewhere and he wouldn't he kicked fucking ass and he did it now. He's got this great career in both acting and in comedy and You know for me that's about being a fighter and it was a huge lesson for me It was a huge lesson for me to sort of you know man for me starting out in this job It was me and Kerrigan meeting in the mornings 5 a.m. Going to get fucking coffee Going we would go to each other's auditions wouldn't let anybody fuck with each other We would get we get each other we got each other the work that we got

He would be right there with me every step of the way and we go boxing the afternoons We go out all goddamn night and start the next day and that's really was that's what being in California was like for me And I can't tell you how much I owe to him and how much I've learned from him and how much I respect him Now before you came out here. You said you went to Russia. You lost. Mm-hmm. Did you take any acting classes in DC? No, no was there anything being offered? No, no man. I got a college nothing I went to college to play baseball. I had no real business being college. I was you know I was getting in trouble all the time Getting getting in all kinds of shit and then you know in the in the college that I went to I ended up taking an acting class

Almost as a as a fluke and I've told the story before but you know, I ended up because I'm an asshole I thought I was gonna be in a 250 person Intro to acting class where I could drop acid sit in the back of the theater and just watch movies You know because that's what I heard that the athletes did but I was such a dipshit I signed up for the wrong class and ended up into this intro to acting class Which was with theater majors and it was just ten of us sitting on the goddamn floor Trying to learn how to act and I'd never met theater people before I'd never I didn't understand what they were like they were so different from me and

you know the first assignment I told this story before so I'll try to be brief but the the first assignment was to bring in something that you cared about and share it with the rest of the class and I remember the first girl she got up She had a blues traveler CD that her boyfriend had given her and she's sharing that with the rest of the class talking about it And she's crying her eyes out. I'm like, this is the weirdest fucking girl I've ever like why she crying in front all these fucking people and then the next person had a teddy bear they're crying their eyes out talking about it and

You know, I it was just like a game of show-and-tell on steroids, you know and slowly But surely was working itself to me and I've forgotten to bring anything So I knew I was going to a fall baseball practice right afterwards and I had I had my catcher's glove So I just decided what are you doing in that situation? I'm bullshitting I made up the story about how my mom had given me this catcher's glove on her deathbed and My mom's alive and well in DC, you know, I mean and I'm telling this story I'm fucking crying my eyes everybody in the class is crying their eyes out. I'm like whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa I'm just bullshitting. I'm just doing the acting. I mean that's what and the teacher this woman Alma Becker who ended up marrying my wife

And I she's an angel she saved my life man She Excuse the class and she pulled me aside She ripped me apart for you know violating the sanctity of her studio But then she said hey, man, you fucking have something and you need to audition for this play and she put me in my first play And I I found it and then when I couldn't finish college because I was always getting in trouble and it just wasn't working out She was the one that said hey listen the best I went to her And I didn't think acting would be any different than being a lawyer or being a plumber or being a doctor

What are the steps? That's how stupid I was like what are the steps that you have to take to make that happen? And she said look if I was you if I was a young actor I would audition for the Moscow art theater It's the best theater school in the world and I think deep down She knew she needed to get me away from all my craziness and my knucklehead friends and the people that were sort of made I was doing the crazy shit that I was doing with and I ended up moving to to Russia man and and I was there for about two years and You know Moscow in in in the late 90s that shit that shit opened my world up It taught me so much about being an artist and it was the first place you know to be an actor in Russia

It's a very masculine profession man. It's it's not like here. It's not like the people I grew up and it's stupid You know they look at being an artist and it's it's you know, it's it's they look down on it like it's a weak profession You know like it's it's that it's not a profession of building and putting in work and craftsmanship and and and sweat and tears and You know in Russia you go around they have Statues in it on every street corner of playwrights and of poets and of actors and being an artist is is is something that's Celebrated and revered because of how much work it takes and how how strong you need to be and how much you need to experience life and Investigate every fucking nook and cranny of life and you need to go live among all kinds of people they understand that and It's a brutal. It's a brutal school and a

Brutal profession and they get that and they celebrate that and I just thank God that you know Alma sent me and that's that's where I got to sort of cut my teeth because that that made me who I there's no way I'd be doing this shit if I want to be we've been acting since day one Jesus left Chicago But the guys that the guy that home in the acting with Stanislavsky, that's it and that's the school that I went to school You went. Yeah. Yeah, my school was like teaching the sense Stanislavsky, and I remember that then They came to the United States and like three of them broke off Yeah, Stella had my snare the guy that played the godfather Yeah, at least Raspberries. Yeah, so basically the group theater. Yeah came that came like a group theater and stuff like that

Which has always been very interesting to me. So you are considered a method actor I don't you look man. You know what that is, you know, the crazy shit is is you know acting as you know, I Don't want to give a fucking history lesson, but you know when when when Stanislavsky, you know For them to take that trip it had to be sanctioned by the government, right? So in 1933 they went on a world tour with a play called the seagull, which is one of one of Chekhov's most famous plays Stanislavsky starred in it and he directed in it and they went to they went to Europe Interrupting now when you went to Russia that you learn how to act in Russian or they speak American I'm just so everybody in my class spoke Russian. They're all Russian. I I

Spoke English, but the whole point was that if the acting is good. I went to go see the theater every night in Russian I understood every fucking if it's good if the acting is good and you're playing what you're what you're going for clearly and with all Your heart, you'll know exactly what's going on. You don't need to you don't need the language It doesn't matter I truly believe in your first area there. You don't speak any text It's all about getting your body right and your mind right and learning how to play actions with people learning to connect with people Learning how to build an ensemble with people, but when they were when they were doing this world tour of this play They it was the first time ever what acting was up until that point. It was Presentational so it was assholes going to the front of the stage and proclaiming to the audience and everybody looking straight out

And then what Stanislavsky did is he started out the play starts and everybody's got their back to the audience They're really drinking tea. They're talking to each other not talking to the audience and that shit blew fucking people's minds Realism blew fucking people's minds and so the whole thing about method and you know It gets so like I feel like bastardizing nowadays. It's like all these people They just want to wear being a method actor is like a badge of courage, you know Like, you know, I fucking got my leg bit off by a shark because I'm gonna be in a movie about fucking fish You know, it's like everybody wants to fucking show how hard they work But you know for me, you know what method acting really means is just an absolute commitment to being truthful, you know and and and to not

To knowing it and to understanding and put it in your heart enough that it's you and this other person You guys are our soldiers for a story that you're working on together and it's not about doing a whole bunch of acting It's not about sort of showing anything. It's about being right there and whatever it takes for you to get there That's your method. You know, I always loved like when I got here. I was a dirty stand-up comic I don't know about nothing You go to the comedy store you do comedy and somebody comes and talks to you one day about being on TV But then I heard about bad acting so I started taking acting classes And it was so weird that I took like you take the basic one like Frank Magna off a gardener across from toy

Yeah behind toy. There's a little actor studio. He was on Monday nights, but he hated stand-ups He liked me, but he didn't like stand-ups in his acting class because he says we were a little too wild for him So I went over to a Vanna Chubbock. I don't know what the fuck she teaches over there, but she had a The blonde, you know Teresa Ron Yeah, and she had Holly Berry who had won Academy Awards back-to-back so I got her everybody in town And I enjoyed it when I was going to acting class. It showed me how to hustle as an actor Like I wasn't hustling as a stand-up normal because the stand-up world wasn't responding to my material

So I was getting breakdowns at five I would pull them off and email them to my manager by nine or my agent and in those days There was no computerized Things so I had three agents. Yeah, yeah in my world. It was whoever called first So I would call Sean carrying and Sean carrying and they casting this movie. I call you back in an hour. You had an hour What happened? Oh, I left a message go fuck your mother. Yo call this guy Yo call this guy I would stick three people and three people would be pitching the same one and it's amazing

I had three agents at one time and the auditions I was going in and taught me what each agent saw me as Mm-hmm. I had a gay guy that was crazy gay up here in North Ventura, I mean telling me about bars in Hollywood where there's a red light. They're all sucking dick in there I mean, this guy was crazy day. He only represented theater actors in New York Yeah, and he took me saw me at the store. Yeah, but he would send me for high level stuff Like he was an agent by himself that would call casting people like he got me a movie that it was an extra He contacted the writer and made the writer write me and he thought it would be a funny thing and they listened to Yeah, like he had been around that long. Yeah, you know, like it's I really got into the acting thing

Yeah, but then it got to a point where it got creepy. How so? It was too creepy for me like I started working with people that They have to be in character before the thing and don't talk to me and you know the trailer and then I was like, that's it Yeah, I'm done with that part of it. You know, don't listen. I love the acting thing I love Stanislavsky and I love stellar Alan everybody but I got bad news for you Yeah, I know a bunch of fucking black dudes from Compton. Yeah, but they put them in a movie with no previous experience They could fog up the bottom of a glass Queen Latifah she came from East Orleans, New Jersey

Look at it. So do you understand my comparison in my head? Like I was like there's people and then there's other people but the people who studied like you I see that richness in your work Look, man, I appreciate you said I see that but I hear what you're saying. You gotta live life Yeah, you gotta go through life. You got it. You know, you got to be You know, that's that's what we do. We're telling stories. What year did you get here? I got here. I think 2004 How about you Sean? Do you remember in Santa Monica? I'm fountain Right below like the comedy store in that area. There was an acting coach and

Every hour on the hour when you drove on fountain, you would see 40 people Re-inlines our lives on the street. I used to beep at them. He knows he knows I beep and go crazy And I would tell them get out of there. You're a bunch of dick suckers I ain't gonna do nothing for you. You know, listen in my world me reading on Santa Monica mobile with some other mook Yeah, yeah, they're gonna fucking like it just it got too abusive Yeah, you know a Vanna Chubbock was making women strip like when you meet an actress from a Vanna Chubbock that's been there for a year She's crazy. Yeah, cuz a Vanna Chubbock made women do shit They wouldn't normally do take off your blouse and show the audience

They would crack Fuckers, I mean they you want a dream you want a dream that's it money for it and that's a problem I've really found what you know, I never did like acting classes out here, but you know look versus Russia You know here to be an acting teacher so many people are doing it because it didn't work out for them or because it they're validating Their own sort of thing like that they're staying in the world by taking other people's money and showing you how to do it But but you didn't fucking do it. So how are you showing? You know like what do you really have to offer it and don't get me wrong? I think there's great coaches

But you know in in Russia the way it worked the highest honor that you could get the highest honor was to be a teacher So if you you know my teachers were the biggest the biggest and most respected actors of stage and screen Those those were the teachers over there. Who was who was only greatest NBA teams in the last 20 years? Oh, I mean the bulls. Yeah, let's talk about the bulls who coached the bulls Phil Jackson Did you ever see Phil Jackson play basketball? He played you wanted to stick a stab through your heart He was the sixth man. Yeah, yeah, and he had no meat on his bones Yeah, and I was in the eighth grade and you know why the old Donna will gamblin addicts Yeah, so we would split five times. That's 1250 a piece 15 if you lose

Yeah, let me tell you something whenever they put Phil Jackson and we just hang up on each other Like we were kids and we watched the fucking fucking whole game on the phone like and we were like Come on, they're gonna cover the spread and all sudden hold on substitute Phil Jackson And you would hang up the phone because you know, he's blowing he was the best six man the league Yeah, but he had no bones to him. Yeah, just cuz you're not a good player. Yeah Doesn't mean I believe that and there's a lot of things about me that I've seen it I've seen guys that are not great comedians, but when you talk to them, they have great comedy knowledge and you'll learn something They just didn't know how to express it Phil Jackson every time they put them in I just hung up on why do you why do you go fuck your mother?

You cock sucker making me bet the next year. Fuck. I thought he was hurt. You know what I'm saying? I thought he was hurt Jesus Christ But look what he went on to do with two teams. Yeah, he came out to the Lakers for a while or something So that I didn't mind that there was one particular guy in town I don't want to give him up He taught me for like six months and then he booked the cold case. It was the worst episode of cold case They ever made like he kept calling me. When are you coming back? Never? Yeah, I just hung up the phone Like I had the craziest acting teacher. I had a gay guy that had the hip and he would coach me for 20 hours a coach

He was the best gay best coach ever. Wow. He started getting me callbacks Yeah, yeah in those days when you went to callbacks Travolta was in the room Yeah, the veto was in the room or like in callbacks He would just show up to a callback with the actors in the room and my hands were going there and the sides would shake You remember those days? And they're like, okay, calm down. Just read it how it is, you know saying like it's it's such a process But you said fuck I'm going to Moscow. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I thought New York. Yeah. Yeah. Fuck those dick suckers Fuck LA and those dick suckers. I'm taking it right to the hoot or the toot. That's like going to Muay Thai land

That's like going to Thailand and following that perverted coach into the cave But you learn Muay Thai in the Muay Thai though, you know, you want to learn how to cook French Well, who's William in New York? Go to France for three fucking years. That's what I respect about you Thank you that you went to the heart of fucking matter. Yeah, you took two years It wasn't some smart idea of mine. No, man. I got led that I didn't really fuck I was it. Nah Russian You don't want to live in Russia who Mike Swick you know Mike Swick the UFC fighter good guy His mother was the consulate or the ambassador Russia. So he grew up in Russia

Oh, yeah, and one day he was telling me and Rogan Russian stories for six hours about how it works in Russia You pay at every level every level they don't fuck around you get a dollar. It's not really your dollar You just it's not just on loan next thing you know, you got 18 cents. Everybody has their fucking hand down That's it. It's just creepy stories. Now after Russia you end up in New York. Yeah, I went from from from Russia to to New York I was there for yeah about a year or so just doing what I could do and And it was crazy actually right from Russia Harvard's got a graduate school For acting that takes their students to Russia to get taught by these Russian masters. They saw me in a show They said hey, what are you doing? I told him my story. They said hey, would you want to come to graduate school in Harvard?

And they they invited me to come there. I said kid like like I didn't finish college I I was like a fucking fuck up and I said yeah, man, of course, I'll do that So I actually went from Russia then to Boston I lived in Boston for two years studying there and then went back to Russia but this time as a You know as a Harvard student how we're making a living doing all this well when I was in Russia I played baseball. I played I played some pro baseball, which was like a joke over there But I got paid a little bit

But then when I went to when I went to Harvard to just do student loans And then you come out and then you talk about a racket, you know You talk about a kid coming out of acting school and then you owe $70,000 and you can't do a fucking thing You know because that's the thing I thought I was gonna go to Harvard and I thought finally I'm gonna be with the best of the best You know, they see 10,000 kids. They only take these few and these are gonna be the fucking best And I remember on the first day everybody got to do their thing and I'm like, oh really this is this is it You know, these are this is this is this is who's here and you know for a lot of these kids

They never had a chance, but it's a racket They actually closed the school down there because they were ripping people off because you saw the amount of loans that people took off and no one was making any money in the field and So they they they said that the school was unlawful I think they let's be honest. It's 2018 and they do it to you here You get out of college one night you watch that live with your fraternity boys And you're like, that's what I want to do. I saw it for years When I went to Improb olympic to take writing classes

They had to go to the table Yeah, the whole thing the whole thing the whole fucking thing. It drove me crazy It drove me crazy. It drove me fucking out. Like I was like, I'm done with my career because I'm quitting this job

I never had nothing Who gives a fuck latin and toni? Yeah. How long did you kick the two years in new york? Were you booking anything in new york? I was doing all right, man I was doing like some you know, I did like the law and orders and stuff like that. I was I was I was getting enough that You know to me I I was getting enough that I would go in and I would I would do well So so people would sort of have me back kind of thing, but I you know strange man Just like you I was so green and I had no idea

I had no idea what acting on camera really was about I used to wake up every single morning I get up and at 5 a.m. Every morning they do something called epa's equity principal auditions where you could sign up It was an open call every single morning and for me. I just wanted to get better at audition I guess it's like for you guys going to open mics So I would get up and it's just they would take the first 200 people and and it's people without agents So every morning in new york, I don't know if they still do it But you can get there and if you're the first 200 the door the door opens at 5 and by you know 5 30 You got 200 people there and every single morning I'd go and I would just do my monologues in front of people

And for that that that just to sort of exercise and see what that was like and just perform a little bit um So I was doing that I got a couple jobs off of that and then I started doing a I did tony and tina's I did I did a few shows here and there but then uh I remembered there was uh, I really wanted to move to los angeles I was with an agency that had an la office and my brother was living out here One of my best friends was living out here

And so I told my agent I really want to come out there and they said well, you don't have enough credits We can't represent you out here. So I said you just let me know when an la agent comes to the office One day he calls me up. There's an la agent in the office. I went I went right up to like an asshole And I said hey, listen, you're saying you can't represent me in la. So here's the thing Let's just go in that room and let me just do this monologue for you And if after that I do that monologue you tell me you can't represent me I'll leave you alone But I I just want to give it a shot

So we go into the room and I do the monologue. She says you got an agent la you got it And I went and did a play got rid of all my shit the marnie rosin's way, right and uh I go I I I went and did a play up in portland main and when that was done I was moving to la and I called her up and I said hey, it's me remember I just want to make sure everything's set because I'm coming out there. She goes. Yeah, you don't have enough credits We can't represent you out there. I go down the fucking guy from the fucking monologue remember I'm the I'm that guy and she's like, yeah, you know, you don't have enough credits So I had a ticket out to la my brother got me a ticket because it was one of those weekends

Where it was like so fucking cold in new york. They say you can't even go outside. I call my brother I'm like, what are you doing? He's like, yeah, we're just getting hired by the pool. My god I want to fucking be out there so bad. He sent me a ticket. I go out and I visit him for the weekend And after the weekend I'd gone out messing around with them all fucking night and I lost my credit card I lost my id so I couldn't fly back the next day my new york agent gets me an audition in in la for a pilot I end up testing for the pilot now all of a sudden they want to represent me so I had an agent I just never went back left all my shit there. I just never went back. That was it. That's it No looking back. No, you've been here. And what year was that? That was like 2003 2000 and how was business then?

It was rough, man. I mean look, you know those those first couple years. I mean, I remember my my my wife She was my girlfriend then she's a she's a ICU trauma nurse You know, I would I will come home sometimes and I just be like Look baby, this ain't gonna fucking work for me. Like it just ain't happening, you know It's uh, and I'd be like, you know, I'd be sitting there crying in my pillow You know, like this this just after all this shit after all this work It's it's just not gonna happen, you know And then she tells me about her day of like scooping some guy's brains back in his head or telling some little girl

She's never gonna see her dad again and she basically gave me a look like fucking buck the fuck up motherfucker, you know, stop that shit and It was about, you know, there was about a year there where it was really really rough and And then, you know, I started to I started to work now and then I started to get to generate any work on your own at least time Did you could you send? Thank you letters to agent. I did what you were talking about. I was I was vicious about being on those breakdowns And I was vicious about I mean, I would I would just go to casting offices where they were casting things And even if I didn't have an audition, I would just look the one thing I will say I was very confident

So I would go in and I would say look, I know I'm not on any list and I know you're not supposed to see me today But I'll just fucking wait here and when you're done or maybe before lunch Just let me do my thing and if you don't like it, I'll never fucking come back This was his was easy Because I was pre 9-11 when you could walk in a lot. Yeah, you could just walk to a lot and go on going to Nancy umbat's office And in those days, I would get the like I didn't give a fuck. I took criminal skills I was working with actors and I was seeing how lazy are these guys

So wait a second. How does it work in your world? Well our agent submits us And then we wait for an audition and fuck all that and I was like that's not gonna work in my work Exactly a gangster one time a jersey gangster told me that our casting director's movie their job is to cast a movie This guy was like a retard that told me this line. You know what? A casting director's job is to cast a movie. They give a think about that And I'm like no And I started getting envelopes. I would go on the breakdowns, but see The breakdowns the people don't know at home. It's a service that comes out

That tells you the commercial shootings in town like not commercials and films are the commercial shootings There's a thousand movies that are made that you don't even see the breakdown out. They don't even it's all in house CAA and ICM or the highest somebody from wme But you don't see it in those days you got called then So it really teaches you the breakdown also teaches you that even if you're right for something You don't know how many times I went to the office and called And they would say the guy had a brother-in-law. That was perfect for the job I learned a lot because I didn't take no for an answer in those days

I told him the other day if you're a comic and you're not up and up at nine and out of your house Don't fucking talk to me because in those days At 9 a.m. I was already I had six or seven yellow envelopes I remember going for an audition for the nero movie with marky warburg That was sold by vini curto. Do you guys know who vini curto is? He's a boxer that won the welterweight championship at 44. He's a little bot. He's tremendous to see out auditions I would see him an audition and go vini come in did you hear about the dude the nero movie? And he go no, who's casting a casting on new york? I just make up a name

john b And before he go in he come back to me and he go What's the name of that movie again? And I go mafia six it's with these two guys And I would go for him I'd I'd go home and he'd call me and go. What's the name of the movie again? The joe rogan story It's directed by john burntle. Yeah, and he was who's in it the nero pachino everybody call your agent He called me back my agent can't find it on the breakdown. It was hilarious

But he really did one he really did win and he was supposed to fight marv less marvin haggler And he booked that dog you used to guys you two sit with him stories about Sammy the bolt Made him fight under a porto rican name and put a wig on him at the garden. Is that right? Oh dog. He's got if you open up sanatra live from Whatever the album. It's all vini curto with sanatra. He's talking about being in palm springs with sanatra and sanatra going You know before hot dog You know for a hot dog

He sent this pilot to vegas to get separate hot dogs and he goes when he came back and you know vini curto He's a boxer's like when he came back He was cooking these hot dogs and I did the math in my head Those hot dogs must have cost $8,000 a piece to go get so I ate like eight of them just out of respect Even though I wasn't training I had to run an extra mile every day He's got real stories He said he was boxing at the garden under like the name of tito or tease With a blonde hair on and that's a natural walk then and sanatra looked at him and goes, uh,

Vinny You ain't no fucking spick get the fuck out of that fucking ring right now And sammy kept saying you better fucking be careful. He's like he ain't fighting on the no spicks name And they took him out and they took him to a hotel and hit him out for the night And sanatra had to negotiate for him. He's got dog as a script writer There's no and vini curto like forget shit. He took a script writing class and he came out of you He didn't sell that one script. He sold two scripts He sold another script about being on the run from the mob

And he went to canada was a kid that was handicapped and all he wanted to do is run up the hill So every day he would push the kid to run up the hill and finally the kid ran up the hill the next day He died dog a story that everybody was in they were having with a bidding war But when deniro bought the movie from him with marky warberg, this is 98 That's when this guy he's the guy you any of you guys ever see 29th street It's an old movie about like a neighborhood with uh, who is the australian actor for a while? That was really hot. Anthony lump hog. Oh, yeah It's a really funny movie about 29th street new york city and he's the guy like who sent you no names

He's one of that. So when I saw him at the comedy store I fell in love with him and he's half cuban half italian. He's from boston And rogan all those guys will say dog his body shot. He was supposed to fight haggler But something happened. He was up next How come you didn't fight haggler something happened something we had happened when he sold the script at deniro and marky warberg Listen, they were about to shoot on monday and he went to a party on wednesday And started saying racial slurs about deniro's wife at a party Yeah, you can't do that and that was the end of that too when they paid they pulled the fucking movie

But when I went to see that woman I forget what her name was you ready for this. She goes oh before first of all, I did a read that was just got off You ever read for somebody and it's just god awful like I just got here It was the third time in front of a casting director. It was god awful The next thing you know before you leave she goes hold on and she turned around She gave me a stack of my envelopes With all the headshots. It was like 18. Like I was hitting her up every week. I didn't fuck around guys Your job is to cast a fucking movie. My job is to book it

My agent says I can't come in here because I don't have enough credits. That's great Let me read for you. That's what I would do. I didn't give a fuck now I advise you to do but you're not gonna get through the gate unless you're in an independent building Yeah, you know, you're not gonna get through the gate. Yeah, but did you guys always have this confidence or was it I can't because I can't imagine look all of us came to la and like la is like kind of scary to come to From the east coast you went from the east coast to russia where you didn't speak the language To a school where they didn't speak your language And it's now coming out here. But does it seem kind of easy to come out here at la?

Like it's not that big of a deal. I go back to the same thing I go I go I go back to the same thing like what we're talking about about boxing and being in the ring and You know, like you got to go back to You know, why you're doing it in the first place because I'll tell you right now, man, you know Three three days into russia. I got a gunpoint in my head. You know, I like being in that city You know seeing You know, you know seeing how far first of all seeing the russian kid seeing You know, if you make it through that school, it's not like schools here

If you make it through that school, you're gonna work like you they see 10,000 kids They take a hundred and then they cut it in half each year And then they only graduate 10 kids and those 10 kids in their fourth year When they show up at the theater each night all they do is perform in their fourth year And when they show up each night, they're told which of 10 plays they're gonna do and which role they're gonna play And it could be male or female. So they don't know whether they're doing west side story or they're doing hand lit Or they're doing they don't and they know everything they know everything stone fucking cold and so you know for me like when I

When I would run into trouble and when I would sort of eat me up Even now, you know, I mean there's times where I run up against walls I go back and I and I think about why am I doing this in the first place? I think about experiences I've had where there've been more people On stage than in the audience and we fucking ripped man. We ripped we put everything we had into it And you know, it's like if you can get through all those times you can get through all this I mean shit. I'm doing a movie right now Fucking Christian Bale and Matt Damon huge director, you know, I got you know, it's an amazing opportunity

My first Sean came and visited me on set my first week I'd gone right from Punisher into that and I was I was nervous as all hell. I was a mess I wasn't myself and he said hey motherfucker Be you god damn it like be who the fuck you are you're going in like this I got an open palm now for all you people in fucking podcast land and You close your fucking fist and go in there and be who the fuck you are and that should totally changed everything for me on this You know, so you we're all human, you know and and uh, but I will say You know for me, I had when I look back

When I look back if I If I saw a kid sort of in my position when I was first starting I would say you have You're a fucking goofball man. You got way too much confidence I mean, I would I would go in and I would do things that I would never advise Somebody trying to be an actor to do. I mean, I just I literally would walk in any room say anything Say I could do things that I couldn't necessarily do. I was just balls to the wall There was no there's no way you were going to tell me no no way and

We have this kind of this is a recurring thing because last year I started going back to open mics I was a little disillusioned with stand-up, you know, because you started as a hobby And then one day it becomes a business And that just draws everything off, you know, like there's a script that you really want to do you love the director You love the material But there's no money in the project and your agent's telling you that you got a movie with Antonio Banderas that pays you a half a million But you don't give a fuck about a half a million. You really really want to do this movie. So I it becomes a business and it sucks

It sucks being on the stage. You don't want to be on it sucks to be in a movie You don't want to be in and I'm sure you picked movies that said what the fuck am I doing here after the third day But my kid's gonna eat next week. That's it, you know, your kid's gonna eat next week, you know I started going back to open mics and I'm looking around. It's like if you went to acting class, right? If you told me next week, I'm going to the 100 a month acting class Which is the bottom of the barrel and if you sat there, you're gonna look around these people and say I was every one of these people and I'm doing comedy for 27 years. So I am every one of these people I want to know

What kept you going that fourth year? That's the question now of the 27th like I even did a podcast two weeks ago I broke down the first 10 years of comedy because I'm still looking for the answer like who the fuck told you That you had a chance at like who the fuck you think you are Like I would stand up every six months. I was like What what am I doing? Yeah, I'm living in a basement I'm barely paying my bills. I'm barely I'm barely surviving and then a headliner tells you hey, man. That was a great fucking joke. Those little things man

And you're like, okay. That's it. The bro. That's a fuck you were killing me in the back Or you're at a club and a headliner laughs or next thing, you know a headline of season I asked you to go on the on a weekend with them those little things And then they go from being one a month. Yeah, that's it to two a month And you're like, I'm still not making a living, you know, and then they go to four a month, you know But that was my main question Like I want Anthony Robbins to fucking go into the mind And let us know at the five-year mark what gave us the balls to go. You know what I'm gonna give this another year

Yeah, like for me, I kept saying six months and then I would book a commercial Or mitzvah would give me an 1130 spot in the main room Or it was always something that's why the fuck you're doing in the first place. You said it's why you're doing it You know, I mean like for me man, you know the experience of going in there Even if it's an audition that I never got but going into a room and no one I got every motherfucker in that room And they're feeling something that's why we're doing we're not doing it for the money We're not doing it for anything else and how blessed are we that we get to live a life that Our our entire purpose is to

Go after something that we'll never fucking get we'll never fucking get there and it's not about some crazy journey I mean, it's not about some destination. It's about getting there It's about it's about chasing something out in front of you that you you'll never attain But you can always get better you can always learn and you can always fucking fail And and you're really lucky to have that, you know, most people don't get that most people don't Get to throw everything on the line and have that I mean for what you guys do going up there And fucking to say you can fucking bomb and embarrass the fuck out of yourself every night, man And I like I thought well, I would go watch him in the beginning. I would be a nervous fucking

I would be a mess and this is a guy and let me tell you something He will beat the fuck out of everyone in here and it didn't matter. It didn't but it didn't matter at all I'm like, that's fucking Sean Kerry. That's my it didn't I was so nervous for him. I was like, oh my god Look at him up the whole fucker. He would start. I'm like, I don't know. I don't okay That was okay And you know and people would lie and I would I would people wouldn't be laughing or people would be talking I swear I was gonna get fucking locked up again I was gonna kill them for fucking talking or during his set. You know what I mean?

And I and and you know, but look every time you step on set You've got that you you run that risk every take you run the risk of fucking failing and that's awesome Because a lot of people don't get that man. A lot of people don't get that. Fuck all the money. Fuck all the other bullshit That's why we do this. You know when I when I was a kid I I used to read this book in the doctor's office a Babe Ruth book And and it was like a little fucking cartoon book and I remember there was this picture of Babe Ruth And he was fat as hell and he was leaning up against the the the ball field and he was eating a hot dog And he was talking to some kid. He said hey kid. I got it all figured out. He said what's that?

He said I get paid to play baseball and eat hot dogs and that stuck with me man I was like, wow, he gets paid to do the two things. He fucking loves eat baseball or fucking eat hot dogs to play baseball You know what I mean? And there's something that you know, you you're blessed if you're in that position Where you are where you are in your journey who gives a fuck you're on your journey, you know, I'm saying it doesn't matter No, it couldn't be I mean that's it's I couldn't imagine not doing stand-up and waking up one day when you're 52 Working on a general manager as I got nothing against the working man. I'm just saying that You didn't go for your dream

Even if it was a little little tiny dream What a shit life you had because you lived your life scared if you knew it if you know, I mean some people they don't you know Like I think some people's dream is to you know, who knows what somebody's dream is You know what I mean? Some some people's dream is to raise a family some people's dream is to travel the world some But if if you're sick enough to have a dream like this one, you better fucking go after it with everything you got You better fucking go because if I think you're right I think if you if you pull off on that if you take your foot off the accelerator on that You know, you'll never you know, you'll never and who I look I don't know because I haven't done it

But but I I think that I think that the thing that we fear Is shit. I just I just didn't give anything here. I just I just I just didn't leave it all on the table And that's that's that's an art. You know, it's like what De Niro says in Brock's tale, you know wasted talent man Nothing worse no bigger tragedy. You know what I mean? So you put stood around this town until walking dead Do you think walking dead was the beginning? You know man, it was really two things sort of happened in in unison, you know, you know up until that point I'd gotten into a lot of trouble growing up and I just was like You know really, you know, I come from a family both both both my brothers are

My blood brothers are tremendously successful guys And uh, I was just the fuck up of the family, you know, and and I just couldn't get anything right I found this thing and there's finally something I was good at Uh, but you know when I came out here, even though life had tried to teach me every lesson I'd I'd been locked up. I'd been fucking beaten up. I'd been jumped. I'd been all this crazy shit I got kicked out of schools What I found this acting thing I really found purpose and You know, but I will say it was a time of my life me and this motherfucker were running around the city

Like wild fucking and you were roommates at one time. I mean, we basically I mean, we yeah, I mean, we were with each other every day I don't know if you were still roommates Right down the street, but I mean, I mean times were crazy back then. I mean, we were really it was it was crazy I mean, it didn't matter what hour of the day Somehow I mean, I saw this guy beat up some guy called himself a paratrooper He beat him over the head with a fucking magazine at six in the morning out in front of a coffee shop in Venice I mean, it was like, you know, our best friend got stabbed in the stomach and you know We're delivering him to my little brother who's a doctor in the middle of the night

Like this is all happening while I'm going and doing movies with Roman Polanski and Roman Polanski and and Oliver Stone I mean like crazy shit was going on and we were just going a million miles an hour and then on July 3rd 2009 You know, we used to have this we used to do this party in Venice where I lived up on my roof I'm really good friends with a guy Charlie Tuna and guys from Fishbone There's this great band called House of Vibe and they play Wednesdays at Harvelle's It's sort of like the local who's who of the the West Side hip-hop scene and they would play on my roof every July 4th And there's a crazy part everybody eating mushrooms and just having the time of their life And the night before that party, I just need to get away for a second. I was walking my dogs. I'm walking down the street

And I see there's like a house party these you know these assholes in this party And there's an old couple playing the didgeridoo right and That they're sitting there and you know a man and his wife and I see this one guy And I just fucking lock on to this guy and there's just something about it where I just couldn't take my eyes off him He's with this group. Oh, everybody's all fucked up But he was like the ringleader and he goes up to this old woman who's playing the didgeridoo right next to her husband And he puts the didgeridoo on his dick So it looks like she's blowing is you know, there's something about that that just fucking piss me off so much

And I'm just looking at him and then all of a sudden he locked on to my dog And it was crazy because I'm like 20 yards away from him and he with this dog right here He calls boss over and you know boss runs over to him, right? And he's holding on so I call boss back and he held on to boss And there's something about my dogs and and my family and my friends that I just like I can't I can't take that shit man It was a different time in my life So I went over and I grabbed boss from him and and and the guy goes Hey, man, get your hands off my dogs and he's got all his friends right there, right?

And I just looked at him and you know I I still just had a real coldness in my fucking heart man And I grabbed him and I started walking away. I said come on boss and he said I told you not to You know grab my dog and he his buddy started following me Pushes me in the back and I turned around boom and I just hit him and uh, you know at that point in my life, man We we're just we're getting street fights all the time man all the fucking time. He was right up the street I hit this guy gets knocked out standing up crashes his head on the pavement. He's fucking out. His buddies jump me I'm trying to fight them off me. They get on top of me all of a sudden

Karrigan comes run. So I don't know how the fuck this guy heard about it But Karrigan comes up bam and like he's trying to rip dudes off and the police come and it's this huge Mess man and when the thing gets all broken up. There's one guy You know lying in a pool of blood and they say who did this and it's their party So me and karrigan are handcuffed on the side of the on the side of the road And they're all pouring on me pouring beers on our heads because it's all their people, you know And anyways long story long story fucking long They ended up taking me away because the guy wasn't waking up

They put him in an ambulance. He still hadn't woken up 45 minutes later and I'd been in trouble my whole life and and and You know, I'm down there now and um, you know I had a career man. I was a series regular on a few tv shows. I'd done, you know, 12 15 movies And I'm sitting there on this bench in the pacific division And you know, all of a sudden I remember being locked up when I was a kid because I'm in a situation where I'm handcuffed to this bench and you know, they got the wall right there So you can't even move to one side or the other and I had to piss so fucking bad

I couldn't believe I'm at a situation when when I piss I can't go piss. I gotta ask somebody permission He's not gonna let me and these cops are on me. Hey, if he doesn't wake up, that's it, motherfucker You know how they are just in my ear if you don't wake up you're done and I knew man right there on that bench I said to myself Look man, this is gonna go one of two ways, but if he doesn't wake up I'm going down and I'm going through that room that way and I'm done man. I'm done with family I'm done with friends and I'm gonna be I'm gonna be the devil I know what I know what it means to be locked up in california

And you ain't getting out of that clean and I'm ready to be that guy I'm ready and it was it was a scary feeling because it wasn't it wasn't scared. It was peaceful I'm ready to be that guy but Lord if you can just wake this guy up like if you can just Change this. I am done man. I'm done with the bullshit. I'm done with the drinking. I'm done with the messing around I'm gonna commit to my lady. I'm gonna commit to my work I I I'm gonna be about making a family and I'm gonna trim all the fat off my life

And I know I should have learned this lesson But I need to learn to write but I've learned it now if you just give me this shot And look sure enough this guy ended up waking up He ended up uh He ended up suing me for a whole shit ton of money You know because I had just done night at the museum too Which they fucking put my face on the poster so my poster's all over california. He saw it goes That's the guy that knocked me out. So now he's suing me for two million dollars saying he's got vertigo and ptsd and all this bullshit

and uh point being man Right after that is when I was faced with this situation where I had an audition for walking dead and July 3rd 2010 one year later. I was on set for walking dead I got married right after the first year walking dead and that's really what my life changed in every single way And I started working different started behaving different my and and I can tell you man. I've really you know Something Sean says all the time, man. I think the what the biggest gift you can hope for in this world I don't mean to be you know preachy man, but I think it's peace man If you can find some peace a peace of mind. I got nothing left to prove to anybody anymore, man

I I have real peace. I'm in love with my wife. I got a I'm in love with my kids I'm in love with my career and I got the best friends in the world And there's no part of me anymore that needs to go out and be be the guy There's no part where I where if I see some sort of brand of injustice I need to insert myself and say hey, man. Don't you fuck with that motherfucker now? Don't get me wrong You're not going to mess with my wife. You're not going to mess with my kids and my friends But I'm not going around with this this You know, I think we're confused man

I think we're confused that we feel like as men we need to go prove ourselves all the time and we need to assert ourselves And to me honestly, there's there's actually nothing less manly I think then then then being the loudest voice in the room and and what I what I came to figure out You know, literally a year later on on july 3rd 2010 I remember I ended up writing a letter. I never sent it to the guy just I wrote a letter to that guy that I knocked out and I remember thinking and realizing that that was me that and not to get too tribute But that was me that I knocked out that was the old version of me man. I saw shit in him

I saw behavior in him I saw brashness and loudness and a disrespect in him that I'd seen in the younger version of myself And I was done with that guy man. I was done with that guy and uh, you know that that event ended up That event ended up really changing my life right there along with walking dead And I think you don't have I don't have one without the other it's so weird how a negative Turned into a positive if you can if you can make it man I still remember being in a jail cell with a fucking Armani suit on when hand comes on And they just gave me six years and

I'm like, that's it. This is it. This is it. And you I went to sleep You know, I just after I got sentenced. I just laid my head down and fell asleep for three or four hours. I was done And it took me more years to get peace. But you're absolutely right. There's nothing Better than a peaceful man. Ever since I shot that Netflix thing in june Everything changed for me, especially comedy wise. I'm a better comic Because I'm in peace now. I really don't give a fuck that I bombed or whatever the fuck they think It's what I do today, you know, and I go home at night. It's so weird how did you have a Was there a transition period when peace came into your life that you figured something was missing?

Have you ever had that look man? I think anytime you give up anything the first thing that happens is there's a big ass hole You know when I when I sort of gave up Kind of being crazy and going out and doing all these things and you know, I I didn't know what the fuck to do with myself. I didn't know who I was. I didn't know if I could act I didn't know if unless I was the guy sort of bleeding out and being the craziest I mean you got you can ask kerrigan. I mean, I was the guy man, you know I was the guy who was doing the crazy shit And anything that people were down for I was hey man, let's go and when I gave that up, you know, the the case of my

My My deal was I sort of was under this I was under this This deal with the prosecutor's office that I had three years Where if I was I didn't need to be charged and I didn't need to be convicted But if I was arrested in association with any kind of violence, it was a mandatory 10 years in l.a. County And those three years man right after that. I just cold turkey stopped just stopped everything and I didn't know what the I didn't I was really scared man. I didn't believe in myself. I didn't know who the fuck I was if I wasn't You know being that guy

But you know then you know, that's that that's life man. That's growing up It's like you start to get something new in you don't know what the fuck it is But you don't run from that you run towards it And I think it's weakness and cowardice to run back to what's familiar to you all the time And and I think especially and if you're gonna be an artist you got to run to what scares you You got to run to what you don't do well You got to run else you're just doing the same shit over and over again And fuck you man like you got this opportunity you got this opportunity to be a professional fucking artist

Like challenge yourself. I don't love it. You know, yeah, fuck. Yeah, my dick gets hot. I go up there You know again, I always knew You know and it's dumb I always knew from watching those stupid youtube tapes That lemon skin had had something in their head and in the documentary they said our goal Was to blow the band behind us out And that's what my goal is now as gentlemanly as I could do Is if I'm at the economy store, I'm destroying that thing. I don't care what comes out of my mouth no more

I'm not politically correct at all no more. It doesn't matter to me I'm gonna take you into my world and that's what stand-up is taking you into my world, you know Not to get too much into that And after walking dead it hasn't stopped Yeah, you know me walking down was crazy man because you know, we did this show That was you know, look man. It was a zombie show on amc. We got picked up when you first read the fucking pilot You're like, are they fucking serious? No, man. When I read that positive. This is the best shit. I ever read I mean, I auditioned for uh for like a network show that would have solved all my money problems

It would have that lawsuit. I would have been able to piss on that fucking lawsuit It would have just gone away and I auditioned for it and I got the gig It was a show that was in syndication I would have been set forever But I knew that I still had this walking dead audition and I read that pilot And I said that is the best that is the best script that I've ever read That's the best pilot I've ever read And I turned down the thing just to go do an audit and my people thought I was fucking out of my mind

But I went in and it happened and it worked and and and you know, it was a very humble job Nobody thought it was gonna be big like it like it was But you know, you had it you had a bunch of people there that all really Believed in it and believed in the same thing. It was a it was a group of group of pirates man Like badass badass actors badass crew, uh, you know way out in the fucking woods in Atlanta You know, there's no trailers and no craft sir You're just out there people get bit by spiders and snakes and shit like that and and it was just great It was just it was it was it was lightning in a bottle and then it blew the fuck up

And next thing I know I'm getting killed off it. So then bring back all that fear and of course, you're a fucking loser That's what you deserve. Like this was that this was the fastest You know rise and fall I do two years and I could have been on a syndicated show Now you feel like that guy that turned down friends. That's it, man. That's fucking guy that walks around. I turned down friends. Really? You should have been next to next to more date, you know, that's it. That's you you turned down friends. You dumb fuck I didn't like the creative freedom really You're fucking shut the fuck up. But yeah, but it's a blessing in disguise. It was the best thing that ever happened Best thing that ever again something happens and you we now you're like me every time you do it like every weekend

I swear to god Every weekend as I'm getting on the plane to come home. I'm like I guarantee those people gonna call the club and they're gonna cancel me at the next gig I'm going to as even though I sold out the room. Yeah Even though I killed them in my mind. Yeah, I must have had one bad set one night. I didn't notch this together I always think it's the last job. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, but you I mean look man. I mean even as an actor Do you feel that 100? RAP! I want to send you home for three days and you're like

Yeah, I asked him what I was like that first week of this job. I was you know, I was I was a mess But but I think that means you give a fuck it means you care and you you you realize and look man You know the hardest thing for me is I got three little kids You know that I love more than anything in this world And I mean anything I kill for him. I'll die for him and and and I'm away from them so much because of my work And I'm putting their name on on my work. That's that's that's what their daddy's building. That's why I'm not around So I sure as fuck I think about every time before I start, you know when they're older and they go back and they look It's not because I was doing some doofy

You know, you know, bullshit man You you will see that I was working my ass off that I was sweating my ass off that I was giving everything I had Because if I'm away from them, I'm not out in the club and I'm not right I'm not not man.

He's the best gay guy in the business. He wore both eyes and he didn't give a fuck Purple ones like I'm here. I'm here. I don't give a fuck. I'm saying And he called me up and he goes, hey, they called you in And I did the longest yard for peter seagull when I was doing an eight ball every two hours In fact, the producers pulled me aside one day. They're like, can I give a breather on that film on that film the longest yard

On the longest yard. Okay, I'll let you know. They sent me to a doctor They knew something was up. I had a twitch to me and shit You know, and they said we got to give a breathe and then at the premiere Pete seagull had a couple cocktails in them and they came up to me and he goes, you weren't my first choice And I was like, you know, you go fuck yourself And they had a separator at the premiere a little bit That was how it ended. I knew he didn't like me because when you do an adam samer film, you got two directors You got the director and adam. Yeah, and I went with adam

I had to go with adam, you know adam was the one that hired me. So Me and pete had this never again. They did get smart didn't call me in and then When I saw the movie I am db'd it and peepers in it. He was the director. I go I'm not going down there. I'm not gonna get it. Yeah, and then fuck and I go who the fuck Is he that told me if I kill it? He's had no choice. That's it And I went down and killed it went back again verbatim And I told the casting director was Puerto Rican at the time. He's still Puerto Rican I know I know for years

I just tell him about I pulled him aside there. Can I talk to you for a second? I go, listen Tell Pete when I did the longest yard I had a lot of problems But I took care of those problems for you a good job from me. He goes, what are you talking about? It was Pete who called you So that was it like it was so after that I confronted him on the cell along That we spoke and the podcast and I told him he's got he's got a great twitter that he should come on So he goes, you know, I'm coming on to that. Nice. But no, we had a great time shooting that and then Did you say goodbye to uh, how did did you say goodbye to deniro on that? Yes

Yeah, tell me about that. I gotta I You know how he was For me he came in the first day And I did that one scene where I he goes are you my trainer or something like that way Then the second scene was with you when you interrupt us and he kept calling me a fat fuck and after every take he kept going I'm sorry. Yeah, he's so sweet. He's so sweet Because I won't use that word if you get offended. I go you butter fucking use it And then I had a scene where he was jumping rope and I was busting his balls about his tits

I remember that. I remember that. Yeah, and then there was the last scene I shot with him was the best because LL Cool J kept calling him benjamin buttons. Yeah, I kept saying you benjamin buttons looking motherfucking all this shit. I'm That's what he fires whatever, you know, but I think As I was leaving that night, I went to his assistant. Yeah first. Yeah his trainer sure And that's something I learned that I was I left that movie. I started doing You know, after after he did raging bull He hired that trainer was the offensive Or he or he was the strength and conditioning coach of the jets right

So deniro hired him for the summer to be his coach for the raging bull to get him into physical shape And he's worked for deniro ever since So great guy great guy so to get to deniro you kind of had to talk to him And then they start but he started talking to me directly, you know And I play you know when you talk to deniro or anybody like that You you're hard to break it inside. You feel like jerking off and putting it on your face You know I'm saying like you just want to jerk off in your cup Like I'm talking to there. I'm talking to Pacino. I'm talking to whoever

But then you just because you you realize they put their pants on one leg at a time And he had like this great demeanor to him like he was robbing deniro, but it didn't give a fuck I didn't call him bobby. You know like the rest of these jerk orbs. I didn't know that shit Yeah, I did not the premiere. He was sitting in front of me. Yeah, and he just fell asleep three minutes into the movie He's not old. He just That's so good my buddy kept going should we wake him up? He's a he's like sonatra at the end He didn't remember the lyrics

Sonatra at the end would go out with that wig twisted and he had the teleprompters They'd be singing new york new york and he'd go once they get old just just pay the 80 Don't expect much. Here's the 80. Just do what you do. You know, he was I met him. I saw his social disorder He has a social big time, man And once you see it you feel better about yourself because we all have I worked with him on analyze that. Okay, and that's when the sopranos were very hot and we shot on that block Okay, so all the new jersey italians like

And all this shit and he walked out of his trailer Onto those 80 people and he just slammed the door. He's like, I yeah. Yeah, and that was it Like they he fucking had the cops pulled the people away I realized his social But no, I had a great experience for them. Yeah, I love them man. I loved him You know, I played his his son in the movie and the only reason I did that movie, obviously It was like, you know, I just done Wolf of Wall Street and all that, you know, when I heard I could Work with him and I'd have scenes with him. I'm like, I'm fucking in. I'll do whatever I can to do this

And uh, you know what out there same as you I I really wanted to give him his space You know, everybody's kind of around him and I so much respect for him You know, because between takes he just stands on his mark and he's you know, I mean that movie it wasn't exactly fucking You know, I mean, it wasn't Academy of Wars Nobody knew, you know, but but like he just but you know, he he would put everything he had into it And and I so much respect for him and it was just he's one of those guys You know, you meet him and then sometimes they turn out to be just such a fucking disappointment He was just everything man. He was everything for me

And I remember when the when the film was over and you know, we'd gotten close We had gone on a couple dinners and he had said some nice things sort of towards the end And I remember on the last day, you know, I went up to him and I said, you know It's going to be very hard for me to to say goodbye to you and he said, you know, I said, maybe I could You know, I could come say goodbye when this is all done. He said, yeah, yeah, yeah And and again, I went to the assistant, you know and and uh, they had me go to his trailer at the end of the day And I was sort of waiting outside. I'm pacing back and forth like how am I going to say goodbye?

I mean, he's my idol, you know, and I'm like pacing back and forth outside the trailer and they're loading up and loading up And then these three guys come out and they come over to me and say, okay, Bob's Bob's ready for you You can walk on in I walk into his trailer. It's just him in there and he's mixed to martinis, you know And I go and it's just him and me and And I said, you know, uh, you know, listen I just want to tell you, you know, I I've never said this to you before But you know, you're my favorite actor and I said, look, I got a lot of trouble in my life And and you're the real reason why I am an actor when I saw the kind of roles that you played over the years

And I saw that you could do that I realized that there's a certain kind of energy that when I tapped into I only got in trouble If I tapped into that energy like you did, I could actually make a life for myself And now I got a life and I got a family and I got a career and I and the whole time it's like It's like I was literally spitting. He wanted nothing to do with this It was making him so uncomfortable. He's like pushing me away and I said, look, no, no, no, listen Mr. Daniel, I got to say this. I got to get this off my chest. You know what I mean? And he just he did not fucking want it, you know what I mean?

And I was like, I got to say it. I got to say it and then I said, you know, and that's just, you know, Bob De Niro the actor, but now I've seen you and I consider you a friend And I can't believe your work ethic. I can't believe how committed you are, you know You're you you're so much of a better guy than I ever hoped or dreamed of You know, I'm just kind of late and I'm crying like a little fucking baby. You know, it was so bad You know, he just wants it to end and wants it to just stop, you know what I mean? So then it finally ends, you know what I mean? And like I wasn't looking for anything back. I didn't want any You know, I didn't need I sucked your dick now suck mine. I wanted nothing, you know what I mean?

I just wanted to tell him the fight. I just wanted to get this off my chest Because I thought I'd never live with myself If I didn't tell my idol that he's my fucking idol and that he was better than what I thought And so when the conversation was over naturally It just sort of fell into this awkward silence because now he's got to say something And he's sitting there and he's looking at me and he's like, you know We do these things and then they end And that's all he fucking said, you know what I mean? And he didn't mean anything by it, but

You know, he just couldn't you he didn't want to engage and I you know I felt so bad for kind of putting him in that's it because that was all on me, man And I wasn't looking for anything back it but it's that social You know, and I see it with a lot of great light like we're not in the you know It's like and I'm sure it's the same with comics too. You can get in front of room You can get in front of a room and just rip the fucking place down But I'm sure there's sometimes you're out with your your daughter. You're out. You're doing your things You know, you're not you don't want to be the fucking emcee

You don't want to be like that's it's two different things and just because you can do one doesn't mean you You can do other sure as fuck doesn't mean you want to do the other and I could tell man He just he just wanted to move on and get going You know what I mean and and and and there was no lack of love in what he said, but I said what I needed to say when have you bumped into him again I've not bumped into him again. No, no, but he's you know, I I have bumped into you know Mr. Scorsese and you know other folks that I've worked with and he's always passed along, you know, very kind You know, he was very very good to me. He was very good to me very kind to me. How was uh, uh, my man in

I don't want to hear no shit I want to hear about and you brought the dogs, which you were when you hit me I was in the meeting so I couldn't spell it out for you. Okay. That gave me a fucking ear beating I'm trying to say yes. Yeah. Yeah me. I love dogs. Okay. I don't give a fuck about look I got Saint Lazarus here or whatever. Yeah, but surely I'll tell you a funny story since this is your comic I gotta tell you you weren't here Joe Rogan used to did you hear that he had a dog for a while named Frank

Joe Rogan was a saver of pit bulls for a while he had Frank And then he had another one guy and then he got a girl from a friend of his that plays a guitar The girl was a little chubby and older and she ended up killing one of the dogs But before Frank died we went to the comedy store on a Tuesday night And this is when the comedy store was men's a month. Nobody went down there People had been shot black not a Tuesday night was black night So nobody white went in there. It was really sad that the but main room Wednesdays was maybe 60 people

Thursday was maybe 65 people then the weekends were the weekends But what were they like on a Wednesday night saying there was 60 people in the audience And Joe was coming from somewhere from a set and he's bringing the fucking Frank with him So I knew Frank at that time and Joe so we're outside. I'm hugging Frank and whatever And next you know, they go Joe you're up next and he goes Joe can you just hold Frank for me? So I have a Frank by the stairs You know, like if you go up to the belly room and Joe's on stage But Frank could hear Joe's voice and he's going nuts. He's barking. So finally

Uh One of Paulie's friends that great guy comes over and he goes Joe's in there yelling just to let the dog on stage It's 10 15 at night. There's 60 people. So Frank I leave him off the leash.
