it is built on going after the back story to what's really happening out there to the american what's happening when a corporation makes a pharmaceutical chills people when a company in the environmental business ends up polluting a river that causes cancer and other illnesses they put all the health risk all the dangers out to the american public those are stories that we tell every week and you know what they're working. on larry king now game of thrones star. to be honest i didn't expect this to be doing this seven years later. i read the script and i was like this is is a great story but it's it's crazy how you should this is a children's book kind of mind is more of. a sick mind to push. you know i mean it's just i don't know how these writers this like tolkien you know you used to put those people to or rally they create these in order of the roles that you

can just see seems that they i don't know how they do it and just amazing. i don't know. i wouldn't tell you but i don't know the plus the seventeen global goals and then i 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 there she did the place is receding in and it's it's something that affects all of us all next on larry king mel. welcome to larry king now my special guest is nicholai cost awhile well the critically acclaimed actor best known as jamie lannister on h.b.o. is a 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 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 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 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 dialin those 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 do 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. sick mind. you know i believe nobody it's you know he's it's just i don't know how these writers like tolkien you know you you those people that or rallying they create these enormous worlds that you can dive into and it just seems that they i don't know how they do it just an amazing how do you view jamie learns to. like him he trusts his best. obviously i mean i 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 j.v. heroic he's done heroic things he's also done horrible things but you know he i think he. really but it comes from a good place but he does and then he you know he is the first thing and i think that the one thing that defines him he has a line in 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 him 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 it costs 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 of scripts and television company you know sponsors i know it's how do they do it they make money . how do they know they have people who pay every month to watch for it 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 i they they get figure and figure and there's a lot of merchant things you have any input into the scripts i try but no no next years as last year you know if you feel about that it's well you know i'm going to miss the people but it's a great feeling to be shot but it's one story you tell one story it's an eighty hour story or you know the end i don't know the end. no comma well i wouldn't tell you anyway but i don't know and. has obviously it's been

a boon to your career financially and professionally is there a way it might hurt you well i know would you saying you know 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 nightwatch and 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 a shot caller has the keys to the yard so he controls the art 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 really stupid mistake a terrible thing he goes i was i'm 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 in so 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 birds are people who are in conversion it's in there and he said in l.a. and that's where the guys from and find out that that is really the case i mean that these gangs that run the prisons and there are so many things i learned i didn't know i mean i thought that the gangs and prison put be you know the gangs from the streets that didn't 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 your choice of from 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 i 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 called manager tell me the biggest failure in history is for sins that's true it's actually olds to do it's 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 something stupid 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 limits. its words you and your head 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 make something right and 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 deal with all of us did a great job of that movie and and i think that the people who've shown it to the very sight of you like hollywood do you like the whole aspect of movies and you know it's you know i love you know i love this country i've been coming here from you know since i was a young man and it's always been you know hollywood has been this is magical. place and remember i was there i worked with the the director michael apted years ago and he moved out and i said why do you do that and he said well you know if you if you

want to work in this studio to movies this is where you go which is very true. and you've done theater i did the first ten years of my career at the theater a lot of i miss it and it's fun i mean that's it's life that's the actors yeah that's where you learn your craft after the break game of thrones star nikolaj costa wall full step into the if you only knew hot seat you want to miss this the new film is shot color in theaters august eighteenth will be right back. with. the committee about to meet as exclusives here are treated with respect. to. bottles.

stockbroker. when you come to your. to take whatever you stick to your own rigs. to. challenge you to go round pick it up with every post your calls will not look oh. i'm not taking. the only thing we go on in here is a. person is really going to do or this woman or with the rest of us because. the safety of these numbers comes with a price and there are no free rides where everyone puts in work with a click. on the totem of helping us with our computer skills. look at your. the rest of us or even go back to see you know the works of the.

i'm going to do just that if you're watching all of. us. our culture is awash in lives dominated by streams of never ending electronic hallucinations that birthed fiction until they are indistinguishable we have become the most deluded society on politics as a species of endless and needless political theater politicians more than just

celebrity are two ruling parties are in reality one part of corporate and those who attempt to puncture this. breathless universe of fake news just signed to push through the cruelty and exploitation of a neo liberal or force so far to the margins of society including by a public broadcasting system that has sold its soul for corporate money that we might as well be mice squeaking against an avalanche. we must. it would make a lot cost a world of the film is shot caller opening friday aug eighteenth you were u.n. ambassador goodwill ambassador yes you have been many in that role danny kaye yeah . audrey hepburn yeah what do you do well i basically you know with 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 right well clearly the seventeen global goals and then i then i picked two to focus on mom's climate change and one was gender equality. my wife is from greenland and. as you know greenland you can actually see the consequences quite clearly there you know see that the glaciers 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 there to serve some people in the world who don't believe in science yeah and that's. can understand they i don't understand how is the other people say i'm not a scientist but no but if one is not the what what that's like is like saying i don't believe in the color red. ok well you have your beliefs but let's not make

that the year i told him i have two daughters and i said like well it's wonderful they're all the thirteen and sixteen of them teenagers you know those years nobody yeah if they did then mark they're back home and them are yeah we play a little game of if you only know ok i just throw some questions at you ok go i who was your childhood so every crush oh that was from the blonde girl from up on oh yeah man yeah 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 . i love the people who place we'd find you want to day off.
