the. on larry king now the cameras i was suits padraig 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 your solution to the. way i think so 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 today we're talking about suits not the kind who works up stairs in this hotel at the
11:01 pm
network but 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 so if 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 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 at 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 being around that it is
11:02 pm
a drama and. who is rachel rachel is the paralegal at the firm seductive i don't know do you think so larry i i. just. 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 i struggle with now yet 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's
11:03 pm
high street but i really i really do think like the sexiness of the show and 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. have a lot of fun with it i didn't want to watch it before that it was the be i was the basic l.a. situation i've 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 rave 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
11:04 pm
and then. script came through into the pilot episode of this show is about a young guy you know finding his way in a situation where he gets to look at 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 left i knew she was nervous and 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 they're done. you think someone could be
11:05 pm
a lawyer without being a lawyer well the tough part for this relationship is she's 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. in office. we 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 to you if you like your character oh i love her i mean i don't have to like to write 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 me connect to about them when you
11:06 pm
don't have a job. i mean about it but i happen to really love rachel i love how ambitious she is and savvy and yeah she's sort of become someone that i could see as a friend which makes it a lot sweeter to play you like i do i really i admired your broad yeah he's a fraud but he's somebody who i think you 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 are really like steve needs 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 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 on 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 you know i think there's no
11:07 pm
and people are always trying to figure out their alchemy of what 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 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 you 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 know him well start by not married but i'm not saying that's the man who had a girlfriend but we're not married she's on another television program so the two
11:08 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 and she is she's on the show pretty little liars over down in los angeles dude is lying there's only the lawyer i have like i've not said one truth is the interview is over there's no use to do that. interview we would he would just to make it is a true story just to make interviews interesting he would walk so he would say one
11:09 pm
of my father came from poland and we were very poor guys that was very rich i was raised in illinois and he just and i would confuse people by i really do this or you didn't know that he told me that he did you know it was there he was giving you the straight scoop that everybody you know how do i know. you had been far you get this job you is there's security now in this business do you feel secure. in as much as you can i think you know i think look this show we. are 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 this. out of state prison in this kind of work you never want to get too comfortable and so there's there's a part of it that we're secure in this moment right now i mean i couldn't pay my
11:10 pm
rent before i got this job so that security is nice but but moving forward into 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. think yeah how do you know that the search will live completely it's a he i mean you just never know it just like the pilot that we had done years ago together 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 traveled 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 it was and 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 laju ad lib they do which is i mean it's so great to have that sort of strange though and yeah i'm
11:11 pm
a bit strange it's just sort of it's not like a lot of shows and i see one sort of an inherent trust that like when you're on set 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 advisors you know all reasonably demos and. so for. the first show that's an accurate portrayal of lawsuits is probably not the place to be to 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 learn 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 an discovery and toward the. a lot sometimes 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
11:12 pm
a plot line this is where i say we just critics carefully this is a really serious. defend a murderer well that's funny you bring that 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 a big. a woman who owns a big oil company that's what gets wrapped up in a murder case overseas and and so you know we're defending a fairly 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 missional to exactly one of the things that they will be right back don't go away.
11:13 pm
now is the new alert and it gets scared me a little. there is breaking news tonight and we are continuing to follow the breaking news. alexander's family cry tears and so well i. think. that had he had read it a court of law found. there's a story made for the movies playing out in real life. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you're. stand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realize that everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm tom harkin welcomes the big picture.
11:14 pm
is it possible to navigate the economy with all the details to to stick information and media hype will keep you up to date by decoding the mainstream headline stating it 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 oh give me your. ok i i used to be
11:15 pm
yes that was when all girls catholic school handwriting class was one of those and one of the calligraphers get paid i mean who well is full of. you know it's funny reception people absolutely wedding wedding reception people please let her do this out presence in the u.s. i would use my memory beyond just i don't write things down in front of her anymore like. a photographer for all sorts of things but nothing as impressive as you and i am until it's over 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. or a little boy i was going to hell. so i don't know where but i mean. let me read another and then we will this thing sounds interesting to me was me i'm writing now a days when. you want to go pick the furniture i want to see that
11:16 pm
paint colors swatches so that's that's what happens when a four year old writes. now we have a problem this is a different kind of tree. did you ever think to leaving the business yes there are so many disappointing regularly regulated it's a very good to have going back. you get rejection rejection of the gate right yeah can 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 of still producing theater and so directing 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
11:17 pm
because some people are trying to do this for twenty years and still waiting 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 someone 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 light on your hand writing things out that's what if it was those you know those. i'd have sold a bunch of photos and in the process of doing my first show which moved 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 a mass this was huge collection of photography and most of my photography no someone said is with my phone you know these phone. number. 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
11:18 pm
a hostle blood but i carry this thing around and it's 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 calligrapher. you know i actually it's funny my girlfriend from college i had 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 about 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 you always have to get it in writing yeah i mean i was fortunate to have pretty good handwriting and then monetised it for a bit rugged as you on the street no 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
11:19 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. blood 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 too. so we were just poaching their cast apparently. and then along the way you know we had clothes we had just terrific actors beautiful 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 that deliberate he's a terrific guy i think it's going to be a little bit of a hard sell but tried but does that everything has to be perfect to be very we would begin our seven day episode might become a two and a half week. places i did
11:20 pm
a movie with justin and. one dollar became seven exactly has tried this you know well it was a list of 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 and we don't have time for this because it's the most you know the best old hollywood story bird 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 right away yeah born and raised so i 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 was the normal school too until i did normal school i don't mean public schools are . your shows active on social media you are you into all that you know i think we're both in the place we're trying to figure out how it all fits you
11:21 pm
can i think i don't know if you can have a hit show these days without being really engaged in but on a personal level it's this thin line of like meghan 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 you're going to boost coming up on the upcoming episode a little and a little a little you know how much is. yes we are 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 squint really. is going to say bruce would what is been your favorite scene to
11:22 pm
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 that we we're going to watch you know what i'm saying very intimate in a file room in the office there was a seriously i don't mean there's no nice you made a lot of the. thing between mike and rachel and it happened in a file room it happened in a foreign classy class. 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. jack. it was for real he had chemo megan oh by the way do you see this in five
11:23 pm
years 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 yes they become legitimate somehow 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 have abandoned the need never you know would be incredible you really just yes it's gotten really love you in an. interesting indonesia we play a game called if you only knew ok we'll be a first. you want me to tell you my first order to 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.
11:24 pm
i know what about you joshua silverstein a jew yes my good no part of interest. in ellie and. me was in a catholic school isn't a catholic school no joshua silverstein i was thirteen where was it. was like a summer camp and i kissed him some became worse he found out what you find out what. you don't know what happens if you're washoe i'm sure this is what you've missed. remember the first edition. my first edition. oh wow that's a great question. i think so yeah it was it was for sleepless in seattle it was the kids what's called a cattle call which is i was an actor i didn't know anything they call it when they just put a thing in the newspaper and say come it was to audition to play tom hanks the son
11:25 pm
i guess never been an audition of my entire life organized that completely myself my mother moved my mom didn't those great movies her and tom hanks is one of my pierrot's but absolutely nothing came of it but i remember that was the first some of the zeroes and you know you know i had to have a lot of commercial additions 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 went to him 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. it was really cations but. i you know i my family has a place just outside toronto so it's very close it's a cottage i propose called george it's beautiful i'm going to
11:26 pm
a lake with goats and i think it's right near there. were. hundreds oh sure it would be to see all my goodness. there are so many but i think. one of my favorite places in the world is definitely one aside or i lived for a while and. it was a great city it's a great city it feels very european but it's lies 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 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 chris
11:27 pm
richards and use it thank you so much the show is a bad regatta it was a good model and i'm larry king you can follow me on twitter at kings things and join us next stop. technology innovation. developments around. the future covered. a little worse if you're going to say lonely old white house superman to the radio guy and columbo minestrone cricket hospital i want you to watch quote for a particularly good you've never seen anything like this on cold.
11:28 pm
11:29 pm
good afternoon oh welcome to prime interest i'm harry and boy and i'm bob it was look at today's headline. left on jobs are we sounding like a broken record yes the unemployment rate ticked down this morning probably seven point six to seven point four percent the number of payrolls or jobs added was one hundred six and two thousand a bit short of expectations. and as usual the largest contributing factor is more part time and low quality jobs so basically bernanke and co have complete freedom to do whatever they want come september and according to financial experts the september epilepsy meeting is the big one because that's when our beloved chairman gets to take softball questions from such journalistic luminaries as john wilson
11:30 pm
route and then defend the undefendable that would be more bond buying into a madness and are we witnessing a label or. alive or was this scandal that involved interest rate fixing and now the three hundred trillion interest rate derivatives market is under scrutiny since the f.c.c. is investigating over the lack of any substantive conclusion to sell for market manipulation please there's not an encouraging press today for you of speaking of swaps is it library docs recorded telephone calls and emails show that traders of wall street banks instructed a firm to buy or sell as many interest rate swaps as necessary to move the benchmark rate by rigging the measure the bank stood to profit on separate derivatives trades that they had with their clients were waiting with bated breath on this one to the feds response finally a former goldman sachs trader who was found liable for fraud it noted this was.
