dana. good morning to both of you. i heard you basically heckling your direct or on the side of te set. certainly you've earned that right. tell me about ben. he wrote and directed this film that you're in. what about his writing jumped out at you? >> first of all, i've never done a ventriloquist, i've never worked with a dummy or a puppet, as you might call it. i'm working with one now, dana. >> you did just that. >> first of all, it was, for me, a great exercise because i'd never done it. i've always been fascinated by it. i looked at all the twilight episodes where the dummies start to take on personalities of their own. i think anthony hopkins did a pretty good film many, many years ago in which he played a ventriloquist. number one it was interesting

because of all the three films, and i know you've heard we did this competition in three different territories. i was look iing for distinctive three different parts in three different movies with different tones that, "a," would give me something to do where a young director could really direct me and i just thought ben's script, the idea, was very, very clever. it was funny. and it gave me a chance to in the voice of mr. higgims, as we call him in the film, although his real name is kenny, i got a chance to sort of revive my great mentor and idol jack lemmon. it's sort of a little bit of a jack lemmon voice for mr. higgins. >> it's nice to have a mentor. it seems like a role that may very well be right up your alley. dana, i want to did ask you. you're the producer. i guess the goal is to discover undiscovered talent. how tough is it for a young

director or an actor, what may be, to get their first break? how difficult is it? >> it's extremely difficult for anybody to break into this business, as a lot of businesses. we've always worked to try to open up new avenues for filmmakers to get exposure for their work or get a shot to get out and reach an audience that hopefully leads to other productions and other opportunities for them. >> and how successful has it been? you've been around almost ten years now, right? >> yeah. we started with with triggerstreet.com, an offshoot of our production company which is a platform 0 for aspiring filmmakers and writers. it's been successful. it's still going. a lot of people have gotten a lot of exposure and a lot of opportunities from it. >> kevin, you mentioned don lemmon. i'm sorry, jack lemmon. >> doesn't he work here? >> he does. you'll see him later tonight. >> where is soledad? >> she's not a weekend player

but i'll tell her you said hello. >> jack is one of your mentors. you're a two-time oscar winner, you must be feeling now the need to mentor some of the young talent coming up. do you find that in your soul now? >> it's been a big part of my life for, you know, actually the better part of the last ten years. i moved to london in 2003 to start a theater company, and we had a program there which is all about supporting and nurturing and encouraging artists whether they be writers ar producers or directors. when trigger street started fearly a decade ago, the whole idea really stems from a philosophy jack lemmon passed down to me. if you want to do well in the business, you'll do well. i've done better than i possibly could have hoped. it is your obligation to spend a good portion of your time sending the elevator back down. it's a satisfying feeling to give opportunities to those who are starting out in the business

in very much the same way opportunities were given to me when i was starting out. the greatest pleasure that i can have is to either see these you young, these three young filmmakers working on the set every day or we just did over the past couple of weeks the premiere of the south african filmmaker in johannesburg and then last weekend we were in moscow to premiere the russian filmmaker's short film. and so tonight i'm very excited to be there with benjamin and watch his premiere happen tonight. >> excellent. dana, are every day folks 0 be able to see this at some point? >> yeah, they can see the two that have previously screened and premiered already on the youtube site and then tonight i believe after 9:00 p.m. eastern time you'll be able to watch ben's film. >> perfect. another great thing about the internet, if you don't live in a big city to see some of this

extraordinary work, you can get it right at home. all right. kevin spacey, dana brunetti, thanks very much and good luck tonight in the project. >> stop drinking this early, rob. >> that's the next segment. stick around. all right, guys. >> thanks, man. hey, listen, we're reading your tweets. we have great feedback.

>> to punish hosni mubarak with life imprisonment. >> complicit in killing, that's the verdict from an egyptian court for notorious dictator hosni mubarak, sentenced to life in prison. mubarak is the first leader put on trial for his crimes during the arab spring. we'll bring you live to egypt with the explosive reactions. and later, it's today's manliest block on television, men's beauty regimes for summer and some new beers that will put hair on your chest. the pros bring it to you live in studio. good morning. i'm rob marciano in today for randi kaye. thanks for waking up with us this morning. let's get started. the man who ruled egypt with an iron fist for 30 years is now at a maximum security prison. the court says he must spend the rest of his life. former president hosni mubarak has been refusing to get off the chopper that flew him there just

a short time ago. earlier today an egyptian court found him guilty of ordering troops to shoot and kill unarmed arab spring protesters last year. mubarak's attorney says the former president will appeal. he could have received the death penalty, though. mubarak's former interior minister was also found guilty and sentenced to life behind bars. but his two sons and six of his former top aides were acquitted. that sparked an uproar inside and outside the courtroom. furious demonstrators called the verdict illegitimate and weak. some fought with the former president's supporters. egypt's muslim brotherhood is calling for mass protests. cnn's senior international correspondent ben wedeman is in cairo live. >> reporter: when news first came out that hosni mubarak and his interior minister had been given life sentences, the

initial reaction was one of joy. but as soon as people heard that all the others who were accused, including the two sons of hosni mubarak, alaa and gamal, and all the interior ministers had been found innocent, the joy quickly soured into anger. many people feeling that there was a skewed verdict, an unfair verdict, a verdict that favors those in the old regime. hosni mubarak was transported by helicopter from this police academy where the trial took place to the prison in the southern part of cairo. apparently when the helicopter arrived in the prison, he refused to get off. ministry of the interior officials say an effort is being made to prepare his cell, but this is just one indication of how messy things are going to

get in egypt with this verdict. ben wedeman, cnn, cairo. to florida now where george zimmerman must report to jail by tomorrow afternoon. a florida judge has revoked his bond. it has been set at $150,000 after he pled not guilty in april to second-degree murder in the killing of 17-year-old trayvon martin. but the judge now says zimmerman blatantly lied to him about how much money he had and was unfairly reaping the benefits of a low bond. >> you know, the revocation of bond, i hope, is temporary. i hope they will give us a day in court to explain george's behavior and look at all the circumstances, even discovered this today, what he's going to do about letting him out on bond. >> prosecutors argued he had thousands of dollars from a paypal account but pretend ed t be poor and recorded phone conversations with his wife to prove that. now news about the economy. investors didn't take too kindly to the new jobs report. u.s. stocks took a beating yesterday with the dow plunging

275 points. it erased all gains for the year. employers added only 69,000 jobs in may, less than half of what analysts expected. and for the first time in a year unemployment edged higher at 8.2%. a janitor in toronto is accused of plotting to blow up a catholic school. police say st. joseph's college school? downtown toronto was the target. the suspect is 67-year-old vincent perna. the worst charges the janitor could face. >> the gas line in the kitchen area and attempted to light a stove. we're quite concerned this situation could have been much worse. the man has been arrested and charged in the most serious charge we're looking at is attempted murder. >> perna appeared in court friday and faces six charges including arson and attempted murder. it took more than 8,000 games and half a century but the new york mets finally have a no-hitter. >> he struck him out!

♪ they've got the beat they've got the beat yeah, they've got the beat ♪ well, on college campuses these are two phrases that are sure to evoke a pained expression, finals week and student loans. well, with an mba from harvard our next guest handled finals week fine. what's more impressive is how he wiped out $90,000 in student debt in seven months. joe joins me live from austin, texas. good morning, joe, and congratulations. there's a lot of kids out there, young men and women that are saddled with debt looking at you with envy right now. let's talk about student debt first. it's a national issue. it's huge. it's tripled over the past ten years, obviously even bigger at the ivy league levels. you weren't alone in having this much debt, were you? >> no. a lot of my friends still have

that, that i went to school with. >> when did you decide, hey, man, i just have to to get rid of it? i have to do whatever i can to get rid of it? why not space it out a little bit? why kill yourself this much? >> so for the first two years out of grad school i bought a house, i bought furniture for the house, two cars, a motorcycle, a road bike, a lot of stuff on entertainment, going out with friends, dinner dates, traveling, and things like that. and then one day in august i sat down at my computer, looked at my student loan balances and though i had paid off 22k in principal and interest i still had $91,000 and so for the next eight-plus years i'd be making $1,100 a month in payments to these students loans. i are tried to fall asleep but couldn't sleep because i felt trapped. i had every dollar i was making was allocated. it was allocated to the student loans, the retirement fund, and paying off my monthly credit card balance. i couldn't afford to start a

family, to start a business, i couldn't afford to travel around the world or do something humanitarian so i felt tripped, as if there was a gun to my head. so the next day i went on 0 craigslist and started looking for a second job. i took steps to pay down my loan. >> what kind of steps? like getting a roommate or having a garage sale? what did you do? >> yep, yeah, basically. you pretty much nailed it. i got two roommates from craigslist that are still living with me right now. so a lot of stuff oncation list which is today's version of the garage sale. i started a landscaping business with my buddy. i sold off my second car, my motorcycle, my road bike. i stopped contributing to my 401(k). i took my savings, which were about $30,000, and i basically just flushed them down the toilet on student loans. not literally but, you know -- >> you paid it off. what part of you felt like, now i'm flying without a net? and were your co-workers and

colleagues who just graduated along with you saying, you're cra crazy, man, don't do this? >> my friends were really supportive. they understood where i was coming from and i think they saw that there was a larger purpose to it. it was really never about the money. it was just more about the freedom, just finding freedom, being free and having options. >> one last question. did you calculate how much interest money you saved by doing this? >> i haven't really done that. again, it wasn't about the money. it was more about freedom. i haven't looked at the net present value. i took losses when i cashed out my stocks and myra -- i took losses and probably keeping that money would have been better for me in the long term. so i never really did the math. but i would have paid, if i'd gone full term, $42,000 in interest. i probably saved about 30k in interest alone. >> i guess you hit the nail on the head. people says money doesn't buy happiness but debt can cause misery. you got rid of that and that lifted you emotionally. that's a good lesson for us all.

joe mihalic who got rid of his 90 grand in student loans in less than a year. good luck in your career. >> thanks, rob. here is your next segment. masculine makeovers. they're turning into a big trend. yes, our next guest, even wax your nose hair. reynolds, do you need that? i might. she says it's painless. we're going to see. and cnn's dr. sanjay gupta has launched a new program called "the next list.

you don't necessarily have to go to the kelly clarkson screaming and get that whole thing waxed off. >> if reynolds waxeses his back he's going to lose a shirt size. >> my whole front lobe on my right side collapsed. wow. i can't believe we're having this conversation. let's say someone is tuning in and their significant other really needs this kind of work, is there a way you can gently get into it and say, dude, it's time for the epilady, guys, time to get the garden shears or something? how do you approach that? >> talk to them about the cleanliness and it will keep them cooler, to be honest. in the summer months, who wants a wool sweater? >> that's true. we talked about that. >> that's a good point here in atlanta. waxing, let's move away from that. in full disclosure, i'm eddie munster if if i don't take care of this right here. i've grown accustomed to it and like it. >> skin care and lotions and stuff, what do guys like?

can feel the texture of this. this won't give you the white face and you'll get the protection from the sun. the number one thing you want to do is protect from the sun because that will age you the fastest. >> we both have kids and now are getting long in the tooth. what will save us here in the business? >> anything that has a glycolic in it, they have this lightweight feeling to them, this is a line smoothing cream, and that will help. wear this at night to help exfoliate and a double duty moisturizer that help help smooth out fine lines, too, and has a 20 sunscreen. the first one i showed you has a 45 and then this one has a 20 in it. but the next thing, i think men, you mo, puffiness and fine lines around the eyes. i want you to try. >> we actually are cutting -- we have to break, unfortunately, but rob and i were up last night chatting about -- remember that conversation we were both in tears saying what can we do for
