see today i roll researcher. on larry king now hank as area the actor takes on porn in lovelace was a guy from long island who was a hairdresser and had this love for porn and making movies gives us a taste of his simpsons characters even if any time i see suspenders i feel honored and now you're actually inside of them and mom and my good friend al but you know so i made out but you know kind of profit grappling and then you know debacle they came out plus i would sit up in bed in the middle of the night terrified like what the am i doing i really hope this perks this is way out there it's all next on larry king now.

you know him from his roles in the birdcage along came polly and huff not to mention the innumerable characters he watches on the simpsons and now the four time emmy award winner is taking on porn directed jerry demi i know in lovelace and the evil gargamel in surf smurfs two lovelace is in theaters august ninth smurfs two on july thirty first. the new linda lovelace you did this interview to should test away yes she did fly did you take this role. while a good friend of mine andy bell and a poker buddy of mine wrote the script and called and said you won't do this and. and seem like fun you know the guy who wrote and directed the auteurs of deep throat and then the story was much more fascinating than that i even thought the true story true story of how tragic her life was how linda lovelace is life was how back and forth she went on on on her own take on what happened to her she you know

embraced it all in love didn't she claimed it was abuse in that every movie was funny because it's hilarious he throws a terrific yeah a porn film but it's probably the best porn film of a made probably and that was jerry demi on those vision how he got this past his mafioso partners will never nobody wanted to make this funny you know he wanted to make point with a plot you know that people cared about and linda lovelace came out and said after a while that every time you saw her having sex on screen she considered rape that's how abused she felt she was then she went back on that then she went back again on that so her whole life was really back and she was like two different people over what happened after the movie is very serious that it has some comedic elements few know having seen he had only seen pieces of it but it's actually very funny in many ways it's a very dark comedy show and stone plays a mother she is amazing and she's amazing in it and then decipher safer it's safer

and peter sarsgaard both riff again as well it's a very kind of starry relationship with a movie star oh yeah that was a haunting movie it was it's a very similar relation eric roberts actually in the film. really yes he is how do you approach damiano how did you view him. there was a lot of. film of him being interviewed so it was very easy about all this so it was very easy way into the character first was a guy from new york to talk like this he was the guy from long island who was a headdress with and had this love for porn and making movies and it was you know he was a genuine love for this and was a real passion project for him different role for you yes i mean i've played i guess similar in quiz show i played sort of a similar kind of a slick new york producer but yeah this was fun and then the live dimension for guy was a hairdresser the worst to pave ever seen your life the worst unbelievable. you know

one thing about you hank you're a terrific talent that's true but you know and you may be too terrific it tough in that you're so diversified that you could play so many things just so like mel told me as a singer motu amazing that you couldn't focus you had his area is is every man. i tend to disappear and rolls in as i once had the pleasure of doing jimmy glick with martin short and he said to me you know hey you play all these wonderful row then kerry do then you just do think you're in these row that now they meet you i see that it's no great loss. and i did you agree with we did a whole hour with him is jim in the lake oh really and then i went on stage with him when he just said oh and i was you know yeah i was hysterical and it was a bird cage that made you yeah i would say the bird cage and it is still what people mostly come up to be observant yes i've had the earth bought the could be

the happy house the boy there as right where was he supposed to be from where arjun guatamala. afraid that my what the model and that my not through out heat. when they do they let you fine. this yourself in other words they come to you with the script birdcage right now this was a fan like roger fold as a musical it's very funny when tons of rumors do you find the action to yourself yeah that was interesting story mike mike nichols had seen me in quiz show and like me in that and said you know pick a small role any small role you want to play in the movie and at the time that role does the guy was just in one excuse me one scene at the beginning and i did the table read of the movie as a bunch of characters up like i do in the simpsons i played like four or five different characters. and he said yeah i do that role and then a couple of months later they called back and said we've expanded the role but it turned out to be sensational movie and a great a great thing for you it was

a big deal for me when you play a gay. when you play it out woodgate yes flaunting again yes a flame buoyantly gay character do you ever hear it from your gay friends. i've made it a point since the movie to have no gay friends so that i don't get any feedback like that and. i've never i've never heard a negative comment mostly they've loved it and maybe they think it but they've never had the nerve to say it to me i will feel hesitant about doing hesitant is too mild a word i would sit up in bed in the middle of the night terrified like what am i doing i really hope this works this is way out there on several levels not only could i be offending all gay people but i think that not to mention all guatemalan people but is the character going to work is it funny you know america's sweethearts which we were in together you played a dashing leading man another thinnish fellow but this time somebody

a little more macho a little more in their realm of. i think they offered it to him first and he turned it down i think so because you had to play a man who's a little ridiculed at the end about the size of his penis i thought if beneath. a lot bigger than quarters larry he's bigger than a roll of quarters really is over comedic actor i do i think that that is what i'm most known for so yes but i certainly trained it to be not that in fact i had a great acting teacher named roy london who taught many amazing people out here and he would let me be funny for years he's like i know you can do that or who's that character inspires and what's it like to do a voice overs. that caddick that instead of sees the evil god again adam who sounds like this but looks a lot. really other than i do because it's two hours in the makeup chair. and. which i think is my my comic revenge for getting to do so many voices on the

simpsons and being able to show up and not know boys on smurfs you know i need me i mean plus that they can make up all your own chasing a bunch of animated characters is and they're not there and i'm talking to nothing all day long and i look and i actually am insane when i'm doing it and it's got to be crazy it's ridiculous but it's you know and that's actually difficult but i like i say i think it's like karmic payback for how easy the simpsons job has been for so many years i just show up in my pajamas and then i remember how did the simpsons come about. early days of fox where they were trying anything they could even think the network would last because it was an upstart place and. it was tracey ullman show at the time that jim brooks was james l. brooks was was running had these little one minute and a made bumpers that matt groening had created and they decided to do a spinoff series and i think there was a guy originally who had done the voice of mo the bartender that i thought they

weren't happy with his performance but i found out not that long ago that they just he was just kind of an a rude guy didn't like him and what a mistake that guy made by being rude to those folks and being fired off of that show sorely on the head casting from oh the bartender came in i was in a play at the time i was playing a drug dealer i was doing a very bad albert chino impression is that character was kind of talking like this kind of like out from dog day afternoon or you know and i did that poise and they said well we need to be gruff and gravelly and so i made out that you know kind of gruff and gravelly and then load a bottle and they came out and then that was it and they had me do that then each week i did a different voice and by the second year of the show they made me a regular you know doing. voiceovers or acting where you're not in the scene you know we don't see you is that difficult harder different to be describe it it is at first like you watch a lot many many movie stars have come in and done the simpsons and often it's their

first voiceover experience and they're very uncomfortable at first you can see it's hard for them because they're acting they're doing what they're comfortable doing but no one's there and they're in a recording studio and so it takes you have to mostly just use your imagination but any good actor after about half an hour will settle into just kind of feeling what it is and going with it you have to be willing to look rather silly because the take you have to put your whole body and it's wrecked i played a woman in. there is that no i just did all loans to the video to direct it said you do the movements the right way and then to see yourself later in the body of a woman with a voice coming out is rather hysterical so you have you've always working you are a working actor with the simpsons we're now in our twenty fifth year so even i mean like every career and certainly my career or maybe i've ever heard of

a deadly my career has gone like this you know you have a hills and valleys but in the down time i'm always doing simpsons at the very least do you know every week with them we're doing other going to the simpsons movie i'm pretty sure that they are you know when you told me you're going to move to new york yes how could you do the simpsons and live in new york i've recorded simpsons from you name a country name a place they may send you to and you go to a studio yeah wherever i am they'll get a studio the guys the end line and you record it. you know and if for the table reads i'm just on the phone it's the easiest job in the world i'm telling you i'm a smurf is my beats work my father used to always say to me my father used to just pass away just passed away long ago used to look at what i did and go beats workin son i'll tell you that right now how do you find your voices were you always always a kid you did you do was is is yet is always i imitate people everyone you know every ever i didn't know that everybody couldn't do it i thought everybody could

mimic things they only realized it was a marketable skill when i was like eighteen years old give me a little apu what would you like to talk about let a man i say it's an on earth true honor to sit across from. the view and even every time i see suspenders i feel honored and know you are actually inside of them and mom and mower you gave us all you had a little bit dad don't get greedy larry i already truly have no ok all right how about chief wisdom at madam. yemeni i am having a legal problem said i should now i'm back and i need a the travel haven't any down that jam he turned out to sign i'll accept anything you said mosher dog alter egos a true that is kind of true i mean i i was a bartender i feel like in that i'd probably still be a bartender in queens if mo did wasn't a part tender that would tell me about the family guy crossover with the simpsons what did happen that was very exciting for an animation geek like myself it was that was a family guy generated thing not

a simpsons generated thing they wrote an episode where the griffins get lost in springfield and encounter pretty much everybody in springfield there's a lot of and that to say that amazing job a lot of really funny peter griffen homer simpson interplay coming up parenthood and platt all over that is getting personal with next. a little worse if you are going to say oh off white house of the day radio guy and call it a minestrone. i want you to watch what we're about to go because you never seen anything like that i'm told.

me believe me to eat eat eat eat eat eat eat eat eat eat eat meat.

mission. critical three. three. three. three. three. three. video for your media project free media r.t. dot com. we're back with one of the most talented people i know is area he's in linda lovelace she's in smurfs he's in everything he's in the simpsons i don't think those two movies confuse don't take your kids to see lovelace those other kid movies you know ok you have a four year old at home i do first baby first one yes a little older father yeah came to it late but it's a like. it's i was terrified of this i was absolutely freaked out although i'm forty nine he was forty five when i was well by your standards larry is nothing

nothing it's a joke. but for me it was a big deal and i didn't think i'd ever really have kids so i actually was so scared about it that i started interviewing my friends interviewing everyone i knew like please help me. give me some advice and say well what's it like it's. it is the greatest love you'll ever know and everybody says that and it but it used to annoy me when people said what is unrequited. you think you totally love this kid you don't think they love you back they don't have to love you know it's not their job no they don't they you go behaving you always love them that's true and one of things i was told very early on was just that your job is to love them not to get them to love you you know correct and and i've actually turned off turn into a web series and i've gotten advice from so many people was a quote it's called fatherhood back then it was what's it going to be like with

please help me and then now i i you know things that come up a little issues big issues like how do you introduce the concept of. my dad just passed away how do you tell a four year old i explain death through a four year old you know how do you mud very difficult are you like your father my father was an intense introvert public speaking was. like anathema he wouldn't didn't want to do it and it's that old seinfeld joke you know more people are afraid of public speaking than death that means that a funeral more people would rather be in the box delivering the eulogy that was my dad but his work ethic and his love passion for what he did i inherited that from him you had a very public divorce was that tough. yeah it was annoying it's well i mean you know i guess relatively it's celebrity divorces ago it wasn't too bad but yeah you know it's the one of the saddest times your life and it's some of it anyways being in the acted on in magazines and on t.v.

but you know whine whine whine there's much more benefits from that kind of life and there is times are you friends with sure we're friendly you know we're not like over the other is how we didn't have a child we did not have a child because she has her own lovely child now tell me about you and all of a plot one of my faith and other one of my favorite people he's one of my best friends we want to meet in theater in college in theater he was amazing back then a lot of most people have to learn how to act all over i think was born knowing his performances back then were as good as they are now is amazing to see great character actor. and you and huff together right we were yes what was it like playing a friendship on screen easy to shorthand it was hard at times because we work very differently and sometimes you know in a professional it's purely professional relationship is going to say hey how about this this and this one is friends it's a little more like i love you but can we it's a little harder sometimes to you know to work things out professionally but we you

know we're very different and i think that helped us in the can see play poker with you he's not a poker player but you are i am and you have you have poker events right i do i threw a cherry poker run every year jon hamm don cheadle all of them they all attended you play serious poker too i do i try to place or i i first. kid around about it but now it's definitely my hobby and i try to play as well as i can i'll probably only ever be an above average poker player but i still love it big money games i used to i don't anymore i'm not i don't my love of poker i don't need to like have a huge amount of cash on the line to enjoy it it's about the strategy and again i have a friend who is a great poker player. and as you dan the real tall i've heard of him. he's a good player plays you've been affleck. plays with a lot of people jed led a lot of people he's played with. and he said it's eighty percent skill i agree

absolutely no look because it's odds i don't get too annoying lines as well you guys are not a player once you know the math of poker which takes a while once you know really you know ok i'm likely hands thirty percent likely to make out this hands fifty percent likely to make out then you compare that to the pot odds are getting to what the actual bet is then you kind of know what's a right but what's the wrong bet and then once you know how to play right. then you have a tremendous advantage over people who don't and then the great poker players you see they know more and more and more and more of the subtleties of when to know when it's time to make the bet and when it isn't and that's when those guys just what is determined to succeed that's the charity that's a nonprofit that i founded educational nonprofit that my poker term and every year benefits and we find inner city kids in about fifth grade who their teachers select and we say these kids are not brilliant but they are willing to work they've

somehow be in the system and they love school but they're at high risk if they don't get mentoring and tutoring they'll fall away so while guys like bill gates are trying to make it so that kids are going to love school that's a huge task while they don't in many areas we find the kids who for some reason do and we mentor and tutor them through the college. are you getting scripts all the time no not really i mean yes and no i mean i i generated a couple my own projects lately i've been working on them so hard this fatherhood web series and there is a character a group called jim brock minor who's a fictitious baseball announcer who did a video on funny or die where he kind of catches his wife cheating before a big ball game and then goes on the air and kind of vents about that in a rather rude way and it's fired i don't feel for them but they're funny there's a great great group i love them so we have a a video question for you. an aircar your last year's huge since you want to

run hare you can't any says character on twitter who for one and probably mo i think i go at motive by ten to get him his own i think the tweeting have more would be interesting moe would tweet i think moet have a lot to say he basically hates everything i think is and this ways to express that larry you know i know al very well and you've got him down well out now there's more here this is more out. but you know baghdad it was it was more up here we have been so social media questions for you by the way are we going to like linda lovelace is going to be a hit i think so i don't know about a hit because it's you know anything that's very smart and honest i wonder i think it's very good but you wonder about and its broad appeal but i hope so it deserves it john laura's tweets if you had to choose would you rather be

a cartoon or real human. i think i got to go with cartoon there and get bashed in the head and survive it and got a point and see the name tweets he has quite the body as he demonstrates in the birdcage and along came polly do you work out oh yes yes i do yeah i was a kind of a fact kid and so i've overcompensated in my adult life at paradise point high wants to know if your throat hurts after a day of doing all those voices very often very often i can only have to stop and they'll be like another show to get but i have to quit because on i belong myself you also do imitations of june to the movies you do get geno did you do of the stars or yes all growing up most a lot of the since this character just are just bad impressions of some good but a lot bad like glue the cup to the cup it's got a bed to loan. you know where game is sort of a bad weird edward g. robinson you do political figures. i don't really i mean everybody does clinton

he's easy to do. all right at rob from miami as of all of movies you've been in which has been the most fun to make you know what honestly the most fun to make was the one we did together america's sweethearts and you weren't there long enough but joe roth had a great full believe it with joe roth right that he ran the studio you know that movie there was so much money on that movie we had like a party every week joe would have like you know most movies like only had julia roberts. jones. but i mean i've been his kathy that you know have a party every weekend mean it was like it was he would quit at like five like my daughter's got a soccer game that's enough for today that never happens on movies like really were done after and he ran the studio so exactly so he was the boss and going to be famous t.v. tweets if you had to live as one of the simpsons characters which one would you choose. i was going to say mr burns but he's too evil but i'd like i like mr burns as money and. i guess i kind of like dr hibbert seems to have

a good life going there in the last of everything going on. the euros prove the scripts do they let you change the scripts of the simpsons they're so well written i don't really you know i don't dare although they i always had to take says written to i started living we finished the show with a game called if you only knew. the first girl you kissed ellen huber meant what ellen huber meant ellen superman yes at camp i was twelve i had braces was the camp camp to wanda in huntsville pennsylvania in the poconos we're going to find out what happened to her i don't i'm very often in public places mention her hoping she'll get never does had braces on took me two hours to get the nerve up to kiss her and i cut her lip you know the celebrity crush. i'm too old unmarried to too i think admit that now ok most embarrassing moment.
