tv Larry King Now RT August 2, 2013 9:00pm-9:31pm EDT
9:00 pm
on larry king now the as i was suits drag adams and meghan markle show is about mentorship and from my point of view it's about a young guy who's sort of trying to make his way in the world on what makes the show so successful and sexiness of the show and the intrigue of the shell is the fact that these characters are so layered and and people really relate to them plus you are a little fun. anyway i think that's that's what happens when a four year old writes. it's all next on larry king now. welcome to another edition of larry king now we're still in the yard and tonight we're talking about suits not the kind who works up stairs in this hotel at the network but
9:01 pm
a brilliant television show usa networks award nominated the critically acclaimed top rated original drama series i'm joined by two of the stars they are patrick j. adams he plays mike ross and meghan markle who plays rachel zane the third season currently airs tuesday night as ten pm on the usa network says someone had never seen suits we all know what a suit is how would you describe the show so i would say the show is basically about mentorship and from my point of view it's about a young guy who's sort of trying to make his way in the world so over the course of the first two seasons you've had a kid who really didn't know his way around the law for around the law firm and all that a high stakes corporate new york corporate law firm he sneaks his way into the into the firm never went to law school not all of these not actually a lawyer he's lied to get the job and now he's finding himself trying to make his way in that it is a comedy it's it is both i think it's what is commonly referred to as a drama day now granted to the ramat it is a drama and who is rachel rachel is the paralegal at the firm seductive.
9:02 pm
i don't know do you think so larry i i. just don't know i think i think she's you know she's really savvy she has this encyclopedic knowledge of the law and she is sort of the go to girl for. everything that people need at the firm she also happens to be the love interest to mike ross and she's the woman behind the man every time mike needs anything to happen she's the one that actually. now you had this season is actually the end of last season was the first time that he had been fully honest with her about about his secret and so now and so the third season they have a lot more material whether they're becoming closer why is this shows you showing us why is it working i think it's so successful because of the character is really i mean i've said it before and i think the way that they're constructed if it was. a show about a hospital or about a school or anything else it really doesn't matter and obviously it's everybody and
9:03 pm
i really i really do think like the sexiness of the show and the intrigue of the show is the fact that these characters are so layered and and people really relate to them they know someone or they want to know someone like they see on that show so i think that's what brings people back and in the new york of it all is pretty interesting the promos of. we have a lot of fun with it i just a little want to watch this show i did before that it was the i was the basic l.a. situation i had been auditioning for a long time and then i got fired from a job a couple months before the scripts came through and i got fired from a job which is you know happens pretty regularly that it was just totally this. was a common thing that happened as it was a sitcom and i think i'm funny when i maybe want to be but for this particular script i wasn't particularly funny at all so the rape i was out of work i got fired and i thought i think i might just give this up and move on and try something else and then this script came through in the pilot episode of this show is about
9:04 pm
a young guy you know finding his way in a situation where he gets to look. it his peers and say give me this job give me this shot of worked so hard for this and so i was sort of primed for that for that moment to sit in front of a bunch of network executives and say trust me i've got this just give me a budget. it was almost right away you get the job just when an audition for and i think patrick was the first one who was cast and so i'd gone audition i thought it was one of the worst auditions i had ever done and didn't realize that behind closed doors they disagreed with me on that fact and brought me back to test for and i tested with patrick i was behind that closed door with them when they disagreed with her even though we had known each other from a pilot another pilot failed pilot long ago that we had worked out together and so when she came in everybody you know she laughs i knew she was nervous and i thought she hadn't done well in the soon as the door closed their eyes went wide and they're all like well that's it. you think someone could be a lawyer without being alone while the tough part for this relationship is she's
9:05 pm
working so hard in the show to become a lawyer and so you know while we're falling in love on the show she's also got to wrestle with the fact that. you know that that i got into this job without doing half the work that she's going to have to do to get to where she's at so that's a big part of the third season do you have a conflict with gabriel. consistently. off the scuds that. we have just recent conflicts at the end of the first season where i've really betrayed harvey's trust his character harvey specter i've betrayed his trust significantly and that's one thing that you don't do to him for that character trust is everything so when you come and find us at the beginning of the third season we're two people who are very much at odds in this bromance that has sort of been a big part of the show is really a risk do you feel like your character oh i love her i mean i don't have to like that right i mean i don't have to you know i think there's something with any character that you play you just want to find to me connect to about them and you don't have a judgment about it but i happen to really love rachel i love how ambitious she is
9:06 pm
and savvy and yeah she's. to become someone that i could see as a friend which makes it a lot sweeter to play like i do i really i had meyers or broad yeah he's a fraud but he's somebody i think who kind of embodies the american dream and so you know you have people who drop out of school you have the mark zuckerberg of the world you have guys who really like steve knew steve jobs people who have done remarkable things without sort of playing the game as it's supposed to be played necessarily going through school so i think that there's something really rewarding about playing somebody who didn't take the typical path but who cares just as much about about what he does and doing a properly you know the now the show is really about finding out how he is going to legitimize what he's doing as a rule and get along well in suits yeah i mean i think that's what i think that's what people really feel about our show is that the chemistry that we all have off camera just translating for them i think so yeah i think that i mean i think there's no and people are always trying to figure out they're all coming up what
9:07 pm
makes a great show and why it's successful i think it's almost impossible but the one key ingredient is you've got to have people who respect each other and get along i don't think you always have to get along you can have disagreements but you have to be able to enjoy each other and support each other's decisions and it's always going to be on the page to write it's still the script and still the script that we do have some we take some liberties with that madeleine do lay around a lot yeah what i hear is that you know it's a big part of the show the culture of the shows us getting to play. you're from drugs or the two of you play are you do you played together before so we did this pilot called good behavior by where i played twins and megan was the love interest for one of the for one of the twins are you single. married but not single. you're a. star i'm not married but i'm not saying right that's the man who has a girlfriend but we're not married she's on another television program so the two
9:08 pm
of you are not involved off the show no no no no i would never so why is this so much chemistry i think because we got it we knew each other early on we're picking up on well i think t.v. sees us a certain way right we've done this show for a.b.c. years ago and very similarly my character was polished and he played the sort of rough around the edges guy so it's the same sort of thing so i think if you're in a situation to where we work together the first time there was that like uncomfortable getting to know each other stuff and then this time going into it we realized like we have to get to know each other and become friends very quickly so he's your girlfriend she has she's on the show pretty little liars over down in los angeles what is lying it like there's only the lawyer i have like i've not said one truth the interview is over that is there no use to do that. to my favorite interview we would he would just to make it is a true story just to make interviews interesting he would walk so he would tell one
9:09 pm
guy my father came from poland and we were very poor guys that was very rich i was raised in illinois you just and i would confuse people by really digital you didn't know that he told me that he did it was there he was giving you the straight scoop that everybody you know how do i know. what i like. you had been fired you get this job you is there's security now in this business do you feel secure. in. can i think you know i think look this show we've. we're so lucky that it's doing so well and i think that we have a few good seasons still in us for this show so for that i mean my god as an actor all you want to do is work and you want to work on good things with good people so we're pretty fortunate to have that so i would say yeah there's a great sense of security but i think at some point also if you want to continue to sort of stay present in this kind of work you never want to get too comfortable and so there's a there's a part of it that we're secure in this moment right now i mean i couldn't pay my rent before i got this job so that security is nice but but moving forward into
9:10 pm
other things there's so many new things that you want to try that if you're not forcing yourself into a zone where you feel a little insecure and a little uncomfortable then you're probably you know not pushing yourself hard and i. yeah how do you know what this search will look completely it's a huge i mean you just never know it just like the pilot that we had done years ago to gather at the countless other pilots that i had done that never got picked up you really don't know a matter how good the script is and not only here you know we both travelled around the world to do press for this show so to go to different make it was in hong kong last year i was in singapore and malaysia and this illusion so shows everywhere south africa so it's amazing to see people from different cultures in different places that relate to the show about you know people working in a law firm in new york and i think that's a testament to it's really not about it being a law show but it's about being characters in a working environment and the writers directors led to adlib they do which is i mean it's so great to have that sort of strange though and yeah and one of the strangest sort it's not like a lot of shows and i see one sort of an inherent trust that like when we're on set
9:11 pm
will always do it the way that it's written but sometimes when you're on set you're finding out there's maybe a funnier way of doing this or maybe we can get at the same thing by saying something a little different and so they let us try to do you know about the law doing this you have a legal advisor you know all reasonably doubles and. so for a. while you know actually for a show that's an accurate portrayal of lawsuits is probably not the place to be turn you have to be woodward terminologies is no i love that stuff that's my that's what i have fun and every time that comes up i feel like i learned a little bit a little bit about the law and i can definitely approach approach cases that are out in the in the public with a little bit i take more interest in them that's trying to understand what's really happening so you know about that was in discovery and toward toward law summonses and yeah but i think there are a few moments in our show where we've even almost changed the u.s. constitution to support a plot line this is where i say we just go to carefully this is
9:12 pm
a really serious. defended murder well that's you want to bring it up in this in the season we're dealing with a case that i think is by far the most serious case we've dealt with which is big. a woman who own. a big oil company that's right gets wrapped up in a murder case overseas and and so yeah we're defending a fairly serious reservation. you know i think i think to a lawyer watching the show they think was a little bit of a stretch i think there are going to be a lot of things in it that people say well that's not how that would work and obviously a case like that would drag on for years you know but on our show i think it's about how it affects the characters that you know and that i think makes it real for people very emotional things as though one. thinks that they will be right back don't go away.
9:13 pm
that was a new alert animation scripts scare me a little bit. there is breaking news tonight and we are continuing to follow the breaking news we need to. alexander's family cry tears of joy at a brave thing that has. had a court of law found alive there's a story made for a movie is playing out in real life. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realize everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm tom harkin welcomes the big picture.
9:14 pm
is it possible to navigate the economy with all the details of his diction misinformation and media hype will keep you up to date by decoding the mainstream have stated it's in your. bag with the stars of suits on the usa network it's in its third season. and we're having a lot of fun talking to them. you are a. ok i i used to be yes that was when all girls catholic school
9:15 pm
handwriting class was one of those and one of the calligraphers get paid i mean well as. you know it's only reception people absolutely wedding wedding reception people please let her do this out for. us use my name or nvu and just i don't write things down in front of her anymore. a photographer for all sorts of things but nothing as impressive as you and it's all i would say you know borderline amateur professional i have a lot of gear i'd love to shoot i shoot nonstop but i don't make money doing it but i did survive as a young actor taking headshots. old zero. zero zero. seven nowhere but that i mean you know let me right now and when i think things times in history it was me i'm writing now a days when. you want to go pick the furniture i want to see that
9:16 pm
paint colors swatches so that's that's what happens when a four year old writes. no we have a problem this is a different kind of tree. do you. think believing the business yes there are so many disappointing regularly regulated it's a very if you're going back. you get rejection rejection of the gate right yeah cause i think that's kind of what keeps you in it though too there's that part of you that like every time you get rejected there's a little part of you it's like well i need to prove that like these people are right about me but it's also just the love of the game you know i love being an actor i love acting and so even when i wasn't being paid well for it i was still doing it still doing theater i was still producing theater and still direct in theater so at some point you just sort of to start laughing at the rejection and then something changed but also they were i mean all things considered we're so lucky because some people are trying to do this for twenty years and still waiting
9:17 pm
tables you know this isn't a it feels like a slow burn but really in the grand scheme of things doing this for six seven years and then having a show like this with this level of success is crazy so when it said to me a long time ago don't give it five minutes if you're not going to give it five years so i'd say that five year mark i was really yeah i was i was you know. i didn't actually i did this you know wearing a little white tube sock on your hand writing things out so if it was those your photos. i'd have sold a bunch of photos and in the process of doing my first show which made you up intro excited it's a whole different process usually my photos are just been for me my family my friends and then i got to a point where i had amassed this huge collection of photography and most of my photography know someone said is with my phone you know these phone. camera. separate things are all you know does a great job or it's a good i mean it's a great camera because it's the camera you have in your pocket i love shooting with a hostle blood but i carry this thing around and it's
9:18 pm
a tank you know so if i it's really just depends where you're shooting and where you are how did you become a little girl. you know i had actually it's funny my girlfriend from college i've written a thank you note to her mom after staying with them for thanksgiving and her mom called me and said you know i meant doing a dinner party can you do the place cards and what you what i soon realized calligraphy is its own advertisement because one person sees a place hard and says who wrote that or one. yes and gets a thank you note and so this is not true those that are getting ready yeah i mean i was fortunate to have pretty good handwriting and then monetised it for a bit of good as you on the street know yes yes yes. i mean. yeah i mean of course it's so flattering it's so lovely and at the same time i think. it's the eye opener that our lives have really changed you know to go from having some anonymity to now the privacy is gone but it's great that this show is
9:19 pm
so successful and that's part of what comes with it it's also like we're not at that stage where it's gets in the way you know you're not brad pitt you're not walking down the street people are mobbing you it's just right now it's just people who kind of come up once in a while and go we really love the show thank you so much as you go on the show are great guest stars like. michelle fairley you watch game of thrones we have a toy game of thrones people this year will to you number one. so we were just poaching their cast apparently. and then along the way you know we had clothes we had just terrific actors people who just fit the parts anyone you'd love to work with oh my goodness so many on this show or otherwise i keep trying to get dust and to come from look at your want to get us involved and i'm doing great he's a terrific guy i think it's going to be a little bit of a hard sell but i've tried but does that everything has to be perfect as reverse would begin our seven day episode might become a two and a half week. places i did
9:20 pm
a movie with justin and. one dollar became seven exactly as tried this way you know greater ability to tell stories later it's just so you know it's just up and tell a story and you know no crew is going to go down early don't have time for this because it's the most you know the best old hollywood story better do you take direction while i'd like to think so. i grew up in the industry my dad is a lighting director and just recently retired so for me the crew is what i know better than the cast and the actors will be that way and born and raised so they turn our school immaculate heart rate a western franklin county school they get your flu and they did not appear rebellious rebellious nuns that were at that school so it was very different than it was a normal school too until i did normal school i'd go in the public schools out of. your shows active on social media you are you into all that you know i think we're both in the place where we're trying to figure out how it all fits you can't i
9:21 pm
think i don't know if you can have a hit show these days without being really engaged in that but on a personal level it's this thin line of like megan was talking about before is giving up privacy and so there's this level of you want to support the show you want to promote the show and you want people to be able to have the sort of intimate way of connecting to us on the show but then there are times where on your private life it feels like this is something i don't want to do so that you can tip was coming up on the upcoming episode a little and a little a little you know how much is. yes we're actually we do sixteen episodes in the season so we're at the ninth right now and i'm starting the night during the one thing we come back from hiatus i mean there are some surprises lots of surprises i think i think fans will really enjoy the evolution of mike and rachel's relationship what happens there we have some social media questions for you april school and everybody. is going to say bruce wood what has been your favorite scene
9:22 pm
to film together and where do you see the characters going. we've had so many what do you think my feeling seeing the last scene of last season we we're going to you know what i'm saying very intimate in a file room in the office there was a serious anyone interested in knowing the nation made a lot of the. thing between mike and rachel and it happened in a file room it happened in a foreign classy class remember the it was my favorite scene because it was the one that scared me the most again going back to what scares you it was we were terrified we had never done any i had never done anything like that i don't think you'd ever done anything like that but it was a long see not only was it a sex scene in a file room which would be enough to scare anybody but right before it there was a sort of combination of a lot of the emotional stuff that happened on the show standing up on the floor. back. it was for real he came megan oh by the way do you see this in five years
9:23 pm
so the show goes a long way mary i think it's a good question that's. only imagine that that's what they're going to build towards you get a degree i think that he has to become legitimate somehow some some. key a key a megan is a traveler of the world would you come to in. with the suits cast and i would love to of course i've never been in the news never you know the incredible you really just yes it's gotten really love you in. interest in indonesia we play a game called if you only knew ok we'll be a first. you want me to tell you my first of all i do so in my backyard tanya look our tongue your love card time you look at each other on facebook recently actually social media of remorse nobody there. i was probably. thirteen fourteen your labels oh sorry larry nor i mean.
9:24 pm
what about you joshua silverstein a jew yes my dear no part of enter out of the n l a. me was in a catholic school as a catholic school no joshua silverstein i was thirteen where was it i. was like a summer camp and i kissed him some became worse he found out what half the roof i know what. you don't know what happens if you wash up this is what your. remember you first edition. my first edition. oh wow that's a great question and. i think so yeah it was it was for sleepless in seattle it was a kid's what's called a cattle call which is i was an actor i don't know anything they call it when they just put a thing in the newspaper and say come on it was to audition to play tom hanks his son i guess never been an audition in my entire life organized that completely
9:25 pm
myself my mom moved my mom didn't those great movies her and tom hanks is one of my heroes but absolutely nothing came of it but i remember that was the first some of yours and you know you know i had to have a lot of commercial editions but my first when i was really giving this go my first audition was for a film called. a lot like love which my friend lindsey was working in the casting office for and i went in for a girl that says hi and i remember going to the director and literally they're like so can you say hi and i said i can but i read the script and i really responded to this character and i'm going to love to read for that and i are remember they were just like well this girl is certainly testing. yeah did you get the high part i did and then they learned to add lead to your first audition you got the part of her favorite cations. you know i my family has a place just outside toronto so it's very close it's a cottage up a place called georgia that's it's beautiful i'm going to
9:26 pm
a lake with coats and i think it's right near their. countries oh sure they would because all my goodness. there are so many but i think. one of my favorite places in the world is definitely one of scientists or i lived for a while and i did it was a great city it's a great city it feels very european but its allies that's what we are and sensibility and. that's exactly it. because date night at this point in the middle of a show it's something really remarkably boring like staying at home and watching a film because we are so busy that any time you do it you have a dream date night. and you know i kind of agree with just the idea of staying and cooking something delicious watching something great on t.v. and doing a lot of nothing just home full just good old homebodies thank you guys grits reaching for the use of said thank you so much the show is bad you got it was
9:27 pm
a mug like a marvel and i'm larry king you can follow me on twitter at kings things and join us in the. technology innovation. developments around russia we. covered. wealthy british style the sun. is not on the typewriter the times will target. markets why not come to. find out what's really happening to the global economy
9:28 pm
with mike stronger for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune in to the reports. he took it's. easy. to. see. you live on one hundred thirty three possible for food because you know how fabulous. i mean the town i know that i'm supposedly really messed up. and we're all for it so personally of all of us it's
9:29 pm
a little worse if you're going to play with the white house or give it to a radio guy and call it a zero minestrone cricket because they all want to watch closely are about to go because you've never seen anything like this i'm told. what's going on guys i'm abby martin welcome to breaking the set so in an effort to extend a personal introduction to pakistan's new prime minister secretary of state john kerry made a special visit to the country this week the true. it was supposed to focus on strengthening the relationship with pakistani leadership but instead it kept getting overshadowed by just one little issue drones the topic heavy on the minds of pakistani citizens who've been subjected to the terror almost daily drone bombings for years a practice that has only grown exponentially under obama's leadership in fact
9:30 pm
according to government officials the u.s. just launched another drone strike in the country this week killing at least six people don't worry though they were all suspected militants which we already know means absolutely nothing so understandably kerry was hounded repeatedly by pakistanis wanting to know when the u.s. would end its drone war there and it's not just the locals in kerry's pakistani counterpart. stressed that the answer isn't a slow draw down but instead an end to the strikes altogether and finally unable to avoid deal with it in the room any longer carry respond to the question on pakistani television. the timeline that you under saddam for ending this. strike with the president has a very real and we hope it's going to be very very soon oh my god very very soon that's amazing it was almost a legitimate answer almost but even that vaguely positive affirmation was too good to be true the only hours later.
