not really bad guys and yet the guys tracking them and i'm an f.b.i. agent and i don't typically get the f.b.i. you know you grow. it was a good offer to i bet five years ago you could not have imagined i'm going to be on crackle now not on me and i don't even know if it all existed. you know i know we're around it yeah i know what you can get it on you know how does it get there i don't know who i am and i am not. but its core i mean you can get it like you can if you watch it on your x.-box you know it's you know you go on the phone you know study any of the f.b.i. has worked at your visit i got to go meet with some of the f.b.i. agents a federal building and it was pretty interesting just to walk around there and see some of the stuff that they're doing what makes the show edgy. pretty much the way he shoots it and sort of it's just a lot of action and it's kind of it's designed for. sort of the core audience which

has got a teenage boys it is that oh yeah and it's just you know these two beautiful girls that are just kind of kicking butt which has got to go and i just kind of get caught up in it all you said that the industry is like the tanami that the middle class is obiter rated what do you mean well nowadays it seems like there is either like super high budget films and or these sort of low like you know miniscule but budget film no twenty million dollar drama no not really i mean there's there are seldomly but you know so it's you know there's a list of of actors for the big movies and if you're just not on there and you're typically not going to work as a flight so you end up doing these smaller films which is kind of cool because there's more work out there it's just not sort of always the same quality not necessarily quality as as much. you know it's it's just more of a grind really are you always working i try to stay busy i like to i like to i like

to actually just didn't have five film for for a young student you know just trying to you know give or you help her out and just stay active and we talk about what's what field abortions philip glass's is a really interesting story it's based on a civil war battle that these kids from the virginia military institute got pulled up on their like you know from fourteen to seventeen and they got pulled up at the south toward the end yeah for the south or the end of the war and it centers around them this fall you are learning i play a cat in the park who is for the north when i blow all the kids away. yeah. you have a you play weird people right i do mean why are you getting weirder for some reason why do you think that is i don't know i guess i'm a bit unconventional and people don't really know. what box to put me in but that's

you know some people when they say let's we need this kind of offbeat sort of weird . dream school tell me about it is great yeah they take fifteen kids are in danger of dropping out i school and they gave him sort of an amazing high school experience of sort of going to riggs i did about their education you know fifty cent is one of their mentors and so the teachers of the rules and susie orman teaches in finance and jesse jackson teaches them speech and it's just really interesting and out of then was you for this. and exactly sure how i got involved but it was a great show i mean they did a second season unfortunately or fortunately i was having a baby so i can be a part of it but it's really a great group of people and what they do you know the fifteen. kids i believe thirteen of them went on to then you know stay in school and graduate you get

a feeling of fulfillment through them yeah i mean i try to learn from everything going on so i've learned a lot from them as much as they learn from me and you had a hard time yourself in school right little bit i mean i was a bit of a troublemaker until i found the john wood apartment and that sort of great teacher named ben baldwin he just going to give me direction so i was like a graffiti writer running around the city to see you know you a bad kid a little bit of it a little bit rowdy rowdy i mean i grew up sort of on the other side hollywood were you know six like all around town and you know just get into trouble and break dance and do graffiti and then. you know when i found the drama department became a sort of structure and i did have to audition i mean rehearse after school and on weekends and sort of just gave me some focus you sister alexis is a transsexual you talked about you talked about that and you meant a transgender student yeah well tell me about that yeah it was really interesting i

mean you know in dream school there were there is this kid name allen knew strange gender and he was just talking about how difficult it was for him and i remember just going ok my boy yeah i remember growing up with my sister and just see how cruel kids are sort of like you know the root of all of this all those born male. male she just did with your brother and. just how did the benefit of the family handle that we always sort of knew you know what i mean so it was it was pretty easy i mean. it's kind of funny i mean i hate to say it but there's a. there's this like i don't know how to explain it there's an aspect of my sister that when she sort of part boy part girl it's kind of what i grew up with is i don't know there's something that seems more authentic to me than when she's a girl because when she's a girl it's like she becomes catty or she's gets

a little like attitude i mean i don't. like that i've met her as a boy. sort of medium girl but i love for me but that's kind of silly to say and i love her and i love or sort of you know diva ness but it comes out i don't know what about the student you help that he didn't bring you to tears yeah i mean that scene just talking about it and seeing our only painful it was for him and remembering how painful it was for resisters you wrote a having a boast op-ed about your experience on dream school and you said you're trying to play something called the time this game is that rare for you oh it's not that is a half. but you know from five live to from over but yeah i mean it's a joy to try to cheat everybody you know equal you know i always think of it as like you always look each other in the eye you never look down on anyone you never look at the worship that he was everybody's of equal when you start thinking in those

terms you know it just puts things in perspective you know if you catch yourself not you know it when they get you look at like israel and gaza well. why do people tell me i boggles why i mean i can't stand it to me i just had a new baby and he's he's three and a half months and i look into his eyes and i dismissing experience where i was looking into his eyes and i was like oh my god oh my god and i felt like all the people from my past all the kind like loving people that you know my mom and dad and all these different people i was like oh they can see me through his eyes right now and just little moments like that and like how much you love a child just people could somehow understand that no matter what side you're on the children there's somebody who's child and and a lot of the hatred that comes from it is from the loss of that life you know with if you know their. son or daughter died in the struggle and just you know all that

love they have from just kind of flips upside down and becomes all the say but it's a nonstop cycle i mean truly you were in israel couple years ago i was yeah i had my but i mean it's not only for duper jewish yeah absolutely to convert your father your mother my mother's tears but father converted to islam that actually we were born i was born on a commune in virginia which was based on a. indonesian philosophy that was wrapped around sort of hindu buddhism in islam so and then my mother was jewish and my father was christian so we had a big melting pot of sort of you loss it was your jewish yeah absolutely or your my view a citizen of israel if you so desire what was it like to be bombed its food was great it was that the wailing wall and i sort of did that. during a bar mitzvah in israel is kind of like getting married in las vegas the way to make it really easy and you don't have to study for my money but it was an honor to

be in such a powerful place you speak out on the middle east and all. i mean i try not to my favorite which actors don't get into the all that but oh you know. i feel for the innocent people in the crossfire is just that's casualties of war i hate that term up next we're talking about fatherhood family and i know one of my favorite people craig ferguson i have to this.

i know c.n.n. m s n b c news have taken some not slightly but the fact is i admire their commitment to cover all sides of the story just in case one of them happens to be accurate i know that was funny but it's closer to the truth from the mike think. it's because one call attention and the mainstream media works side by side the joke is actually on the air but i'm. at our team we have to print press the bell because the news of the world just is not this funny i'm not laughing dammit i'm not. but i'm you guys have to the jokes will handle the mess that i'm.

i marinate join me. for india in park and fanfare for carrying concealed news and much much. only on bombast and. the government says it wants to close the secretary of defense and defense department are committed to the president's goal of closing guantanamo bay. why are there so many people broken locks for the remaining. states constitution doesn't apply to these proceedings the government has demonstrated that they have no respect for the attorney client privilege no you can't look inside that door no you can't see the place which is adjacent to the client cell if public what actually

think i'm not really worried about our mom remake of a magazine she's like yeah i was like well did you ever strip you know did you like like burlesque dance i said did you have a name and she said it was blue sea bellows that's why we named it and we it's a pretty fun place i mean we know right on sunset boulevard across from above and you got that place of course yeah that's a place yeah that's one place the big big place and the other puppets and wrong kinds of crazy stuff would you ever think you had a weird life. i mean i was a w c w heavyweight champion of the world at the beginning we were in a limo you were sober for some time and then i heard you called howard stern and you drank again. yeah i was for like two half years and and of an alcoholic. where you or i do i

am i guess i you always are you know once you sort of why did you go back. i don't know man it's much easier to be sober i mean as hard as it is life's easier just sort of more accountable and sort of more on your game but there's also a fun factor that i was missing and i'm a bit of a wild child so you know i try to keep it all in check for so i'd like to be an ejector you're a functioning alcoholic and. you go on binges no i don't and i don't go on binges i want to you know the on say think about what is courtney thinking they're pretty cool i mean you know things get life's life gets complicated sometimes no you know but there were a lot during. only fits in the see if you're you know but now in july partying in a senior while there i mean i did this one movie called the key because it was

pretty wild there was some wild like yeah sometimes if you have like sex scenes or something so you read little jury when you read the script it says actor drinks i think are good they have. but it's not funny it could be serious you know i mean you know drive and drink no never drive and drink pretty good about that i love that club was great across from board it was boots. and they they rented out for parties to have you read up a part is good to have you involved with many charities tell me about o.p.c. see ocean park community center piece this is amazing it's the largest sort of community center on the on the west side that deals with homeless relief and you know it's a battered women's shelter and they they just really are seems to know it's everything they need they have a ninety five percent success rate of getting people off the streets so once you get into their system the first thing they do when you show up is they give you a locker which doesn't seem like

a big deal but when you're homeless and you don't have anywhere to put your stuff it's an incredible thing so you put your stuff away then they give you a shower and if you want to get in the whole thing the feet to the kitchen in the system to try to find your housing. you know many mental health you involved. i got involved through feeding america which is the nation's largest hunger relief organization i worked with them for three years and we did a lot of great work there and then i sort of got more involved on a community level we have some social media questions for this bryson knocks on facebook anything you just screen films for you and i love doing them there was a lot of fun but i don't think so after the last at chelsea taking out how celebrity name game going and how awesome is craig ferguson he's the greatest i mean there is no one is as late as him and just thinks on his toes and he's such a great spirit. really fun it's just a fun show and it's especially because of him when we live there this fall i think

in september pablo rancho via facebook i read that you were born to a christian mother jewish father who later became a muslim have you ever dabbled in scientology and have dabbled but i know a lot of the. intelligence there really stand up people there's a there's an accountability with their sort of philosophy that i really appreciate they get a lot of bad raps a do they do but. other folks i know really stand people at carlton smith tweets what do you think the public perception of you is does it jive with what you consider yourself to be. i don't know i just went to a concert last night it was really fun just walking in because people treat me more like on their body which is fun you know it's not like i don't think there's the same sort of like i don't know there's doesn't seem this. it's different like if i'm going out with my ex and they see cordie there's a sort of like and it's obviously she was on friends and she's

a huge star so there's a while factor but when it's me they're like hey david one thousand five hundred people a day yelling at me joking about but that's kind of what i like and that's how i hope people see me i try to be as honest and real as possible i try not to sort of play the fake game you're you what's it like having a ten year old girl three month old boy it's a lot harder i mean i or goodwill imagine the rebar going to new. harder after ten years you know ok we got it just you know a little game called if you only knew i just who was the first girl you have a cast i think. her name was alina how lena yeah always david i was. like for school around school and. friends and family what's a guilty pleasure you have guilty pleasure. of love because you're stuck on
