over two years old he will go over. the drill and who runs the blood business. on larry king now game of thrones. to be honest i didn't expect this to be doing this seven years later. i wrote the script and i was like this is a great story it's crazy when you shoot this. kind of mind is more of. a sick mind. you know i mean it's just i don't know how these writers is like you know you had to put those people or they create these in order of the roles that you can just see seems that they i don't know how they do it just amazing. i don't know. i wouldn't tell you but i don't know the last seventeen global goals and then the night i picked two to focus on one climate change one was gender

equality. my wife is from greenland and. as you know actually see the consequences quite clearly that she did the play she is proceeding in and it's it's something affects all of us all next on larry king mal. larry king now my special guest is nicholai cost a while the critically acclaimed actor best known as jamie lannister on h.b.o.'s the mega hit series game of thrones currently in its seven season we've also seen the films like black hawk down kingdom of heaven more recently small crimes on netflix newest movie a shot caller a very powerful role where he portrays a successful businessman turned prison gang so we'll talk about the movie in a while. well you survived this week's game of thrones where you didn't die no i

didn't when you signed on for this did you expect to die yes i mean well i like to be honest i didn't expect this to be doing this seven years later and i read the script and i was like this is is a great story but it's crazy how can you shoot this as a television show. but i was wrong you didn't have to try out for the you could can do you know i mean they did no i did i did a scene by write for the guys and then they offered it to me and then. they told me that the like if we were lucky the first three years i knew what was going to happen. and also when. why. is that it is a good question i mean i think it's a mix of things i think. as always with any as you know any good show is you know you have characters that you can identify with you have dial images that are interesting intriguing. that's it's fundamentally a good story interesting it has surprises you know in season one we killed off what

we thought was the main guy in that starkly shown beings character that was that was one of those moments where you go will this make or break the show and thankfully the you know made people even more excited about it. and then i think that you know it's set in this like weird parallel universe so it can play everywhere which is also part of the six countries named no exact their own names exactly. but that's one of the i mean i've been traveling and then that it never ceases to amaze me that wherever i go people or they watch the show they little the world all over the world george r.r. martin wrote the book yes you know him i've met him you know of course he's an executive producer on the show and he's a great guy clearly american he's american you know from jersey we're kind of mind as martin was. a sick mind to for sure. you know i mean nobody it's

you know he's it's just i don't know how these writers like tolkien you know you you put those people there or rallying they create these enormous worlds that you can dive into and just see seems that they i don't know how they do it and just an amazing man generation how do you view jamie lensed or. why i like him he trusts his best. obviously i mean i'm brett member when i read it first i thought it was just an amazing character you know the first scene more or less you have seen him have sex with his sister and he tries to kill an innocent kid i thought that's a great starting point and then i knew what was going to happen i knew he had this big transformation. you know he that's the thing about all these characters is that and one of the fun things about doing a show that goes for so long is that you have time to show different ask you don't have to show everything in one go would you call jerry be heroic he's done heroic things he's also done horrible things but you know he i think that's really what it

comes from a good place but he does and then he you know he. the first thing and i think that the one thing that defines him he has a line episode one where he does something horrible and then he says the things i do for love and i think that is that at his core and i think that's why you can forgive them a lot as you love his little brother he loves his little brother he also loves his sister but he he loves his little brother for sure the violence and the action the money of course to make that episode this is h.b.o.'s biggest hit right yeah it's mind boggling but it's also fun i mean we shot this sequence that was shown of the two weeks ago called blue train it was almost four weeks we shot in spain and the director had all the toys available if there was no difference from shooting that hour of television to shooting the you know the biggest movie in hollywood and it's just exhilarating and it's fun to you but for us

a script and television company you know sponsors i know it's a how do they do it they make money. do they know they have people who pay every month to watch but yeah but still it's still it's surprising but then again you know i've noticed that because over the years we've done a very you know contracts and they they get figure and figure and there's a lot of merchants i think you have any input into the script. yes i try but no no next year is his last year you know if you feel about it it's well you know i'm going to miss the people but it's a great feeling it's one story you tell one story it's an eighty hour story you know the end i don't know the end no comma well i wouldn't tell you anyway but i don't know the end. has obviously it's been a boon to your career financially and professionally is there a way it might hurt you well yeah no would you saying you jamie all the time you know of the first thing i did i'm as you know i'm from denmark and the first job i

got was a movie called night watching it became a huge hit in denmark and it took quite some time but i was known as the guy from that movie and then that's always going to be the case you do something that successful in the you know you might have done ten other things and no one's seen that so it's i don't worry about it it's a good problem. the new film is shot color a title that we're told me nothing but what is it about color is it's a person drama he is the shot caller has the keys to the yard so he controls the yard the person the person he's a guard no he's is an inmate but he is in control of what they say the yard which means that he controls how people act with it and they do that the he becomes the shock or how does he go to prison well he's the stars out he makes is a really stupid mistake a terrible thing he goes i was him friends you know has

a few glasses of wine he drives home friends in the back he runs a red light crushed the car his friend is killed he was over the limit so he goes away for involuntary manslaughter and and you would think and he's absolutely you know he knows he has you know he's done something horrible he's ready to you know do the time. but what he's not prepared for is is a. person in the prison system and how extreme that experience is and and how what you have to do to survive so he comes into this is this prison and which is completely segregated into by race. and he it's like a shark tank. and i remember reading the script and i thought it can this really be true and then i spoke to brick wall the director and the writer and he spent years doing research. and i met some former inmates and some current inmates and

you know. people who are in going to prison it's him or he said in l.a. and that's where the guy's from and i find out that that is really the case i mean that these gangs that run the prisons i mean are so many things i learned i didn't know i mean i thought that the gangs in prison would be you know the gangs from the street the spill into the person i didn't know that it was the other way around that these gangs in the street started inside and i still run from inside which is insane but anyway the guy comes in and to survive. he joins up with the white king the was white suburban white supremacist and then he does the news today that's a terrible thing but he's like ok i'm just going to go with this you know i'll just get me through these two years and then i'll be out and then i'll forget about it of course once you sure can with the devil they'll want to go so it has some fairly trying to go into any prisons and we went down the aisle went to one and it was i

mean i think one of the things about this movie is that first of all. you know i feel i'm very lucky to be part of this and i think that what you want to do with any movie or in a television show you want to you know entertain people you want to you know want to want to be a great story and then if you're lucky hopefully sometimes it'll be about something that would make people think and i think rick wall achieve that would shock horror because it's a gripping thrilling movie but then it's also about something that affects all of us and it's that there is there's this desperate need for person reform in this country it just doesn't work and we're wasting enormous amounts of money and resources a great psychiatrist call manager tell me the biggest failure in history is for since it's true. to do it is supposed to do and it's just it fails

us as well and then spend money where usefully wasteful and also it's just the human resources that we waste i mean you have like yes a nineteen year old boy he does some things to steals a car he steals it even that's so stupid yes you have to pay a price but hopefully we should be able to put this guy back into the goals that yeah but that's the whole rehabilitation is not a priority now it's like lame is. mince words you and your and that's does this guy have anything likable well yes i mean i think what i yes absolutely he he loves his family. and of course he's very much aware of the consequences that you know it's not only his life that's destroyed it's his ex-wives his son i mean it has horrible consequences but at least he's still driven by. wanting to come to

make something right in life do you think it will be well received i hope so good at that you're good at guessing no no no you never know but i've seen the movie and i think he did a great all of us did a great job to me and and i think that the people who've shown it to the very excitable you like hollywood do you like the whole aspect of movies and man oh it's you know i love you know i love this country i've been coming here from you know since i was a kid you know young man and it's always been you know hollywood has been this magical place and i worked with the the director michael apted years ago and he moved down here and i said why do you do that and he said well you know if you if you want to work in this movies this is where you go which is very true. if you've done theater i did the first ten years of my career at the theater a lot of i miss it it's fun i mean that's life that's the actors yeah that's where

you learn your craft after the break game of thrones star. will step in if you only knew hot see you want to miss this shot caller in theaters august eighteenth we'll be right back. with respect. to your.

challenge research has been a good road to get off with every post recalls will not look at the script and go. on the take it is. the only thing we go on in here is earth per person is going to do or this woman with the rest of us because. the safety of these numbers comes with a price and there are no free rides everyone puts in work with a click a button. on the totem of helping us with our computer skills. look at your means during the rest of us or you can go back to say you know that this works out for your money. watch the hawks founded by three young americans who love their country but we have

to costly question our government watching the hawks brings the stories the give voice to the voiceless we dig a little deeper we get the stories that the average one else is afraid to touch is afraid to talk about because they don't want to upset their corporate sponsors or interrupt their government access now is the time more than ever but we need to question more. we're in this post truth world where we're going to have to matter again about educating people and giving them contacts instead of telling them what to make dialogue is far more valuable than debate. the mission of news with it is to go to the people tell their side. story stories

are well sourced we don't hide anything from the public and i don't think the mainstream media in this country. are to have a different perspective. we're not one. that. is constantly spewing. we're not beholden to any corporate sponsor no one tells us what the cover how long or how to say that's the beauty of america. we give both sides we hear from both sides and we question. that. not letting anything get to bring it home to the american people. would make a lot of cost a waldo the film is shot caller opening friday aug eighteenth you are un ambassador rice goodwill ambassador yes they have been many in that role danny kaye yeah.

audrey hepburn yeah what do you do well i basically you know with the success of game of thrones there's a bit of spotlight here and try to put that spotlight on something a little more interesting climate change or a. global goals and then i picked two to focus on one is climate change and one was gender equality. my wife is from greenland and. as you know greenland you actually see the consequences quite clearly that you see that the glaciers are receding in it's something that affects all of us and it's you know i think it's a it's very important that we take it seriously and you know the world is taking it seriously and things are happening next set of some people in the world who don't believe in science yeah and that's so i can understand they i don't understand how is that i don't think they'll say i'm not a scientist but no but if this is what is what the what what that's like like is. saying i don't believe in the color red. ok well you have your beliefs but let's

not make that the children i have two daughters and i said like well it's wonderful that all those thirteen and sixteen teenagers you know those years nobody yeah if they didn't mark their back home and them are yeah we play a little game of if you only knew ok i just throw some questions at you ok go i who was your childhood so every crush oh that was egg naida from the blonde girl from up on oh yeah you know that was the biggest risk you ever took. the big as a brisk i ever took i don't know i guess acting favorite part of being in america you have a home here i don't have a home here at home what do you like about being here i love the energy and i love . all of the people who place we'd find you want to day off.

that play that kind of guy and i just couldn't do it corey anderson on the larry king now blog asks what can you tell us about domino oh yes that's it's a new european movie that brian de palma's is directing was shooting really down yeah it's really it's a it's really cool. i'm very lucky i get to work with amy's he's brilliant he lays everything out right it's just yeah and he has this very specific vision. it's a thrilling stories about the goes on in europe now with the paranoia the it's the thriller and it's about the this constant sense of threat from from terrorist attacks you should know we should now where. in the in denmark in brussels in spain. like all the traveling i do joe meet them on the larry king now blog i know you've been asked this a lot but what does it take for you to betray your sister. on game of thrones what

williamson on twitter do you watch game of thrones every week. no no i watch it when i can i am up to date do you watch dailies no no. no you know what you did. magna purple on twitter what was the worst or addition you ever had oh it's a few i think the worst one was it's kind of funny it was a. it was an american movie i flew out for this thing and i was told that i was going to meet the director there produces and i walked in and they had no idea it was coming but the casting director just told me to sit down and then she had one of those little cameras and she hit the camera as if she's turned it on and she said go ahead and i started my scene is like a long fifty five page long long got to halfway there and i heard the sound of that i know well from as you know when you put it on idol for too long it just shuts down so she hadn't even turned it on and that was probably the low point of she

could be she didn't want to waste taping. and finally k.j. twitter turned sixteen on twitter what was your game of thrones auditioned like it was very quick and painless right away yes i was very lucky. and more than lucky yes. big thanks to my guests never like. be sure to tune into the remaining episodes of the seventh season of game of thrones airs sunday nights at the i'm pm on h.b.o. and look. out now in theaters as solo's find me on twitter at kings things that i'll see you next time. i do not know if the russian state john podesta e-mails and gave them two weeks but

i do know barack obama's director of national intelligence does not provide. to support his claims. i also know he perjured himself in. senate hearings planned. for the revelations provided by edwards he denied that the n.s.a. was carrying out the balance of the us. the hyperventilating corporate he has once again proved to be an ethical government claims that cannot be verified you would have thought they would have learned something after serving as george w. bush's useful idiots in the lead up to the base in iraq. it is vitally important that the press remains rooted in a fact based universe especially when we enter an era when truth and fiction are becoming indistinguishable.

greetings and salutation. lately my hawk watchers of feels like in every country state and city chaos and heart break a bone not only around the world but here in the united states as well there are many cities whose headlines only seem to reflect a city in a people under siege sometimes when their professional sports team wins a title or when the president makes a campaign stop folks living in these cities like chicago the moral is baltimore and now houston only seem to make the news cycles when there's a murder of a station in their streets and all the difficulties and sorrows of the citizens of these cities based on a day to day sometimes hour to hour basis are real and do deserve a newspaper's eg what is often ignored are their successes the individuals or communities.
