this technology savvy is very tempting. on larry king now two of hollywood's best judy greer on that fact so you two was so busy on the screen actors guild has the most people out of work you know of any of these kind of last episode of what if you will just doing the good if i could change your legs and you are yeah people who are always want to know now i was hoping i could just keep going to school and tell you what it is the school pollution to look for the canadians. you for spits before would be descendants but you were in yes in the world of you for writing. i enjoy all of it i think acting is somewhat easier amidst other people rather than writing can feel very solitary plus will you an interesting part of your dinosaur they gave me the script

and then they had this girl parked outside of my drive in front of my house while i read it and then i had to give it back to her why is it so secret i just laid away one for your memory this moment and you'll be like now i get it. that's all ahead on larry king now. welcome to larry king our special guest judy greer and that wraps and known for its sponsors acting career through the years stars t.v. shows like arrested development archer and two and a half men left an already close that. was like thirteen going on thirty love them other drugs on twenty seven dresses and they were few and that as found success on screen as well acting in shows such as ben and kate films like tammy he became a household name in two thousand and two. well winning an academy award for

co-writing the adapted screenplay of the descendants and now the joins forces as the stars of the newest be married about a married couple miserably in love mary bear's thursdays ten pm eastern on the f.x. network how did this part comes to you how did this you've done so much yeah so it came like a lot of the other ones where. they had already cast the guy i mean even their own . would you shouldn't rules that i do yeah but i didn't have to for this when it's weird because i did you know i saw you had to it was i had a. way of sort of some hearing of the. world is doing you have to do. changing or look so yeah yeah yeah people forget who we are no i don't know i think there are certain roles that require. an audition maybe in certain roles that are the part. yes i also feel like when you're known for maybe one

single really one thing like such as doing broader comedies or network t.v. in this is the more dramatic cable show i think they need to feel more comfortable that you can sort of do you do too with the things or maybe just always work and yeah you're labeled character actors the are you happy with that. now that yes i am. but i have to be honest it did take me a minute like i would say there was definitely some time when i was like oh my character actress because to me character actors were like goofy. i don't know i think a character actor is just someone who is not the star of a movie or t.v. show but they play like smaller supporting roles and i totally believe tony randall told me when i was sort of being car is very proud of that yeah those images do so many have been absolutely i also think yeah it's the there are more usually there are more. interesting roles as opposed to often times i feel like in this business

the leading role is usually the straight person and it's more reactive and you're just sort of saying i can't but i must but i really i shouldn't in the character actors are always the ones who do bad you. character askers i would have booked you . as one of the no no i didn't i kind of wanted to act really badly after i got my first couple acting jobs what did you want to be rude you had no idea i was hoping i could just keep going to school and tell you what it is. for the night you couldn't. tell i could marry well would you go up the tree. so how did you break into the business i started by acting i did do plays and stuff in high school and then i auditioned for an acting program for college mostly on a dare because this girl i went to high school with was auditioning for it and said

that i would never get in because they only accepted ten percent of all the people who applied and i didn't get in and so i went because it was chicago and my parents wouldn't let me go to pall a theater school at the paul ford university yeah it was a nice catholic girl by parents would let me go any further away from home then chicago so i decided to go there and then i was an actor it's that easy. the first page i. think of kissing before with david schwimmer and jason lee. did you start. let's see i grew up in boston and i think an early age knew that i wanted to get into acting i think just because i was a terrible singer and this guy always had to do school plays and they were all these musicals and i was a terrible singer and so the only way i could sort of get attention was to completely upstage everybody and stand on the side as part of the chorus and just makes silly stupid face see you know why you liked being other people while like to

being other people is what actors do and i i'm not sure i think i enjoyed be there was probably an escapism there was probably a i don't know i enjoyed making people laugh and i enjoyed the instant reaction of that this sort of high that you got when you did something and people reacted there was anthony quinn told me that all actors are children. that we are playing out games and children of the best actors because they have no qualms they really see a child playing cops and robbers they really fall down yes they hurt them so yeah right they give so you have that feeling right you want to. treat other people but just to yourself yeah i never think of it really as being other people i always think of it more as just being that certain version of myself it is you yes very

much you for spirits before the descendants right you were in it yes it's cool rude how did you get out of bed time to go for you. my writing partner jim ranch and i had written a script. called the way way back and that sort of got it took a long time to me we finally did and i mean you know last year or two years ago but it was sort of when in through it went through this sort of hollywood cycle of almost happening not happening but what it did do was open a lot of doors and it got on the death of alexander payne and jim burke and jim taylor who have a company and they had an option this book called the descendants by kelly hart hemmings and said you know your script has a lot of the elements that the book does you know would you ever consider adapting and so we read the book and fell in love with it obviously and got out of this other sort of big alien movie that we're supposed to do and we're able to adapt it

in the true we had to the book very faithful i think it was such a well written all well that it was hard to deviate too much from what cow he had put on the page he did the part that when i auditioned for i had to go in and i didn't for alexander payne and he had that one big scene i did but my audition was i always say i just end with my whole movie i did all my scenes for my audition but . like i have think think three scenes and i had to do all of them for my audition so. my audition was like an december and we shot it in the spring but i had just gone through a really bad break up before we had a show and so i went in and i said alexander katie cranks in first place and i did that and i cried really hard. the way that i wish other movie was like six months later and i was like i'm not really that you know well tell me all married came about. mary was written by girland and he

shared this name we onto all the manager together and i got the script that way through them through my manager and who i could write a way i did yeah it was very it had a great the things that i look for when i read or good characters and good point of view strong point of view and it had both so i was very excited and interested do you like doing yeah i usually just want to read a script count how many lines i have right away and you know. i mean that less is the season that was. i i like the script but actually they sort of secretly slipped me the second episode and that was the episode that i fell in love with that's our one and i was that was when i fell in love with the script of the pilot but the second episode was when i really fell in love with my character because i realized that she was like not like your typical like i roll laying like

put out wife and mother that she was like a real partner in crime to this guy and that they have rights we have three. let's watch a clip from i love the title married. with a really cute thing and i messed it all up i'm sorry it's just the girls who take everything out of me it doesn't help that every time you look at me i get pregnant that's not always why for the last one i worked and you screwed it off i didn't screw it all i did screw you did your was you're really good and then i'm a vagina well i'm trying to make everyone happy and then at the end of the day i have to make you happy to write that's just how one hit back. what was the story that you both nobly married right yeah we're just tori of this couple is the member we all bickersons what our baby i think i think they are a couple who have been together for a long time and i think with having three kids and moving to the value they've sort

of slowly grown apart i think they're obviously still they obviously still best friends but there's a disconnect that's happening and i think this show sort of examines people that have been together for a long time in the realities of you know the work that's required to stay together is it a pure comedy no no i thought it was but it turns out it's. kind of like les if. they're in the things that were really really bummed me out when i read really here in a good way though because they were real and all they ever wanted to do in t.v. shows like this was to tell a real story because i have so many i don't have kids my own small children but my friends who have small kids i wanted to make something that they would be like oh yes you know you were like that every day. you there are times really good i don't think there are no no it is definitely i will you do have the right

chemistry for this right yeah obviously yes and that was actually very easy. we didn't because we hung out in the way yes we were sending to us and so we knew each other and then when we were doing when you like during the time of award season for the descendents we had to go to so many parties and award shows we had that's pretty awesome. but we went through a lot of stuff together so we didn't get to know each other then so it was really nice that we already had that your mates mates to do a major you know each other. our significant others. oh normally we'd keep them away from him. because they were probably about terrible they would take care. you have to like him mike there i think i think you've done your stand. i think there is a likability in the in the first episode we we sort of explore the idea of me

getting my needs met elsewhere and i think if you if i'm not yes and if i'm not likable than that i think then you immediately probably you know dislike the show in general because you're like what a jerk you know but i think if you understand this couple and where they are and kind of that they're struggling to make this all work and how chaotic it is then i think you begin to understand maybe why they would try the experiment with that you like her idea i think i really liked there in the beginning but as they started playing her i kind of was jealous of her because she was cooler than me really yeah i just liked her she is seemed to have a real strong moral compass even though she does tell her husband that he's welcome to go outside of the marriage to have his needs met in the beginning i think she really. i think she does it she wants to hold their marriage together and i like

that she's kind of a hermit she doesn't have any friends and i think she's funny do they give you important descript can you say i don't like this. yes they were very collaborative it's without a doubt yeah completely but it was nice in this case to just sort of focus on acting and nothing else. and just sort of turn it on when the cameras are on and turn off when the only route you pull for arriving. i enjoy all of it i think acting is somewhat easier because it's. i don't know you're you're amidst other people rather than reading can feel very solitary coming up we learn what's next for judy greer and that faction two of hollywood's hottest workers businesspeople stay with us.

i think. we're going to do it you know that you know the price is the only industry specifically mention in the constitution. that's because a free and open process is critical to our democracy correct albums. in fact the single biggest threat facing our nation today is the corporate takeover of our government and across several. we've been hijacked by handful of transnational

corporations that will profit by destroying what our founding fathers once built by john mark and on this show we reveal the big picture of what's actually going on we go beyond identifying. rational debate real discussion critical issues facing them by ready to join the movement and welcome to it. judy greer not vaccinate costar in married on f.x. you have a very popular recurring role on arrested development. any word on another season of the show is it coming but i don't know i let you know usually the night before they want me to come to work someone will call me and. it's not because they're an organized i think they just really genuinely keep it why is that

show so popular you know i can i mean i want to say like i don't know i do know i mean it's just so popular but it really kind of crazy kids it's a crazy cast i think it felt like people were discovering it for the first time which makes people feel very like sort of territorial over it i hear a lot of people like i watched it when it was on the air i've always been a fan like people really responded to it and it was kind of the first time at least for a long time that we had this sort of like mockumentary handheld like a lot of shows are doing that now but when arrested was doing it that was like ten years ago and and you just fell it felt so lawyer istic that i think people became really engaged and and meshed in the life of the blue ths if it will come but. yes . you start on side to go to johnston in the show ben and kate yes always like we're going with her. it was enjoyed it tremendously i enjoyed the. relationship it was not something that i'd seen on t.v.

which was sort of just a good old fashioned brother and sister you know. hashing it out every week. very in felt very comfortable much in the way i've been very lucky i feel like i've worked with some really talented and easygoing cool women who are you just kind of slide in their it and you have a sort of natural chemistry that exists you have to like the people you work with you know but it's so awful and down it's much easier there are times you don't write the words as much as you have yeah there are times you don't it makes it a lot easier television. do you think dakota is going to understand she's anastasia steele yes fifty shades you know really i've not read you read the book no i actually have not if you read it where yeah. yeah i mean i did all the men i bought it i bought our god like a hardcover and my husband was like ok that's why i can all don't carry that around we're going to kill him. so i guess i like you like the world you know what it's

good to be a part of pop culture and like people i was doing. fairly well as me why didn't you why didn't you you know go out for the role and respect that some weird like we just play brother and sister and now we'd be this how do you think she would do and that i think she'll do great she's a very talented actress and a very young age so i think she's got a long career you voice sheryl inaugural what's it like doing voice overs it's the best job so very so easy especially archer because the guys who write it first of all every script is so funny and outrageous but they're really pretty hands off you . showbizzy that's right now in a business where the screen i just feel that has the most people out of work you know of any of these kind of us. who put it all out of you or you're going to be in the mood you're a supermarket yeah and you're in planet of the dawn of the planet of the. you

play an ape yeah. and you were the weird career. were you interested for your dinosaur leg cannot tell you because they gave me the script and then they had this girl park outside of my drive in front of my house while i read it and then i had to give it back to her and send you to a bench no no what is valuable why is it so secret i can't tell about the fact that i was told climbs over the wall what. very been three of them are something that man i would love to tell you i'd love to break the story here what i've already considering what could be so she'd correct you know about your daughter i just. remember this moment and you'll be like who now are you. what kind of ape do you play i don't know i can't do my name is cornelius i play

a female ape would be be able to see some of the moves now with you know the true. reason everyone i don't know how long they're going to make up it was all computer digital like a so you'd have to do any make up no it was actually really fun because they just put on this like velcro you know tarred and really little little bee kneecap and then they put all these sensors all over me i called them lasers but all the guys from kept saying they're not lasers they're sensors judy but i like the scene of the need for other seem like a few seconds because i had to do a.d.r. you know which is recording like doing some voiceover for the movie as a champ i had to go in. and they run to make my chimp noises and actions yeah well as she was. in the same play do you like this term that you like her she's super cool she's a good she is a really good champ she really loves her family. she's really committed to the to

the community who's the lead start of the apes stopped by me and. velcro leave boco is when mr and the circus who he was. he was amazing i mean amazing are you wearing your unitarian. what do you do it one leader and i do it not going to know where you think the movie's going to do probably better than any of the other movie ever i think it's going to be but you've been in or you know you just never i think it's going to be the best movie ever to play a little game of if you only knew that i was the first voyeur because. matt. in detroit. you're boring but. i don't know i must have been when the star wars come out because he made me pretend to be princes layer and and then i mean you can't remember what you didn't know but you sure this one you wrote i don't have

read unless he is secretly where rather my parents know where i might have been i'm up to he's a journalist and he's married and has kids and his dad just died well i want to leave the last part to you first kiss. it was either simply a sweet or a new cock. stay where i was their name that is my name one of the how. it was in the new jurassic park you said was the old if you care a little bit you. know i was very you. know i was yeah six seven was the addition. it was for a pilot that ben stiller was directing called he video. and then jack with jack black and his now wife christine taylor got the part i auditioned for so i probably didn't do worrying to ben stiller right now i know i do this terrible and he laughed at me you have a bad one i do yes i.e.

audition and i play ice hockey and they told me there was a commercial in the valley and they said you can skate right and i said yes and so i showed up in my heart and stuff and little did i know i got on the ice and they pressed play and it was the theme from grease and they said go ahead and i apparently was i didn't mean for grease on ice and not know and so i skated around in my. doing my job. literally it was going to write yourself and i had to go to the e.r. in hockey cast you know that was a different experience but what's your favorite thing about l.a. . the palm trees beach biggest misconception about you. that it really makes. you mean you're not nice people seem to think i'm pretty well you know. the biggest misconception that i know what i'm talking about i have

a dream costar. to work with clooney and that. met him and. i do dream costar probably george clooney. comedian as a child who made you laugh. hall of poundstone paula poundstone. what i know paul i don't know whatever happened to paul i don't know what i loved her i let you have those missiles on cable and i loved them from using the fact that would see me go find barbara bed is. nobody is favorite comedian. you have a sick kid i was i watched a lot of sound live and so on pretty much anybody on time live i guess in my youth it was dana carvey and mike myers and it was also i loved robin williams the stuff they were thin and cover. anytime someone flashes mean. arrested

development i guess flashy good flesh and blood have any fan encounters. no nothing of note i don't have many fans on the desert island what three things you are with you. things are people other people anything and you can be people and so i would definitely say my husband and i would say a boat. at the beginning. and sometimes great and i don't know if you are i know and i have to say my family that's why name more. but i would bring that music. bake in and this is a board. what is something no one knows about you judy. that you go first. what is something no one knows about you.
