glenn. larry king. all of us would agree that the people who want to see something. it's really. live in this universe were also. there seems to.

be with this film you can see the universe that hasn't been appealed or sometimes i feel like i've lost. the music quite a. scene because fear itself is ok because fears that. they say like it. means feel free to stuff the circe was. nice to see. these officers because. i think you have to work in the school and. move to the next level to find some. of the. wrong larry king. special guest is golden globe m a n w a c p

n bafta award winning actor forest whitaker one of the 7 all talents a lot of time known for his roles in the last king of scotland the butler the crying game roll one a star wars story and countless others forrest also works behind the camera as a producer and director he stars in one of the most anticipated movies of the year marvel's black panther it's in theaters. the 16th he said recently the black panther is something people haven't seen before. what have they seen wolf. as corps the african superhero starting a nation of condo which is a secret society that is highly technically advanced and i think you get a chance to be able to to marry technology with with also that additional unlike the thiel you are inside of a universe that you you haven't seen another marvel universe i think that's quite

1st walk superhero or a yeah i mean i think there was superheroes a mood don cheadle did something and he was like one point i want to be iron man or something like this but this is a stand alone and i think chadwick is amazing and i think the movie goes in all different levels from the bond type feelings to to the extraterrestrial almost i feel and so it's very powerful magical and who does forest whitaker play please henri he is the. spiritual leader of this of a condo of this of this a nation that he wins and i am the advisor to the to the king and i also the keeper of what they call the sacred herb which is an herb that that. that transforms him into the black man. is acting acting or is it different when you're making a movie like this which is a big blasts lot of. a lot of things going on a lot of computers and it's are not not are so on realistic or is it

still acting well so i mean i think it's definitely still acting because you know when you're younger you would like act in a black box where it was nothing there and you were like playing out the scenario this is quite different i mean i think when we were conned and were under the falls the waterfalls there were really 100 foot waterfall that were falling down behind us so you and we were there having battle in the scene there having battle in the scene so yes there's like things that you imagine which you always do as an actor but it was really tangible things too that were really amazing to look at i think the production design and all that is is amazing the film how do you account for this mass pre-sale. i think. i think people want to see something that they feel they haven't seen before i think they want to live in this universe of this superheroes or like archangels whatever the marvel comics but they also want to feel that they're seen something new and i think in with this film you

can see a universe that hasn't been unveiled before even just the tribes in the nations that come together to protect this country and to protect the world you haven't seen all these different tribes coming together under a king because the difference between this superhero. black panther is he's a king of a nation his father was king his father died and he has and he takes over the opposition so he's not only trying to protect and rule a nation but the politics into all the things that ensues but he's also trying to protect the world with this power that's been bestowed upon him to build to protect and serve is there a bad villain. there's a view of bedrooms. i think what i want to kill members of bad villain but he's definitely someone who's a opposition rival for for the throne or and i think there's a few other villages that are fighting to get certain elements because there's a there are certain elements that we that are contained in what conda there are

anywhere else in the world i think the same that captain america has a vibrant human stuff like that where it's mine from all that so there are people like vying to get these different things in those become the enemies of the nation in the way the enemies of the world wages shoot he said in a in atlanta you know onsets in stages. and it was it was like i said it was pretty amazing to see even when they were bringing the drones or doing the shots were coming up over to come over the waterfalls and move into us as we were watching the fight scene you know that was going over the throne . it was it was really fantastical just to watch as an artist to have a special make up they would also in the ryan was was trying to figure out we were talking about me working. i had some make up that was showing me the initiatory because i initiate him into being the panther the back of the beast over these powers and so there was a decision about the make up of the dots in the symbols and things that would be

put on my body and stuff ryan coogler work he worked for you you produced a film a director i did produce with my partner nina. first movie which is called frugal station ryan was in college and i was fortunate enough that he came in and talked to some ideas in this is one that we zeroed in on i thought was be the right one for us to do so our good directors. i find him to be extraordinary greenway like we can look at realism a show it in a way that i think you don't see all the time of phil and his he is such a technical weapon drivel about him he knows so much about film and above other films and is just he's just i think is extraordinary guy this is by far his biggest budget right yeah i mean after it did frugally decreed so he's been moving up and now he's doing this and this is a giant zonen and i think ryan's vision i think that's the thing that he has is truly a visionary is what's pulling everybody together that wants them to even seen some

of the clips and wanted to see this film who did you study the play the part you played i can look at different types of spiritual leaders from. the. goal must see the. priest to egyptian coptic sin dictions systems and looked at what that might mean the congo systems of religion and stuff and try to understand that in the leadership that was needed to be able to be a spiritual leader and understand what initiation was and to build the hope of the old if you like working in a marvel movie it was fun i mean it's different for me you know and i had done so i don't know star wars so it kind of like helped me kind of start to move towards standing. kind of way of working stuff and i had a good time. i.e.

. so no. to you brits. rebirth. i guess is a brilliant farce whitaker's will be seen in black panthers starting somewhere 16th it's going to be a roaring hit i guess the most critical acclaim you ever got was. for your oscar

work in the last king of scotland that your problems weren't really proud of that phil you know i gave it everything i could he sure did you want to just 16 black actors to win an academy award in in its history is something bittersweet about that. i mean i think. wanting people of color to be represented in in film and you know i think those doors are propylene and we continue to push forward so that people of all nations in. backgrounds can be able to express their stories because i think it's important for everyone to understand everyone's story because we're 11 community really as a nation we're shocked that what was overlooked i thought that there would be some recognition of the fold at those a great great performances i love working at it i had a great time it was a big challenge as you know the asian like city young age who likes to sit in older

age and and to be able to bring across what was changing in the nation you know during that time through this character and his i can't believe it was over that this year is pretty diverse the oscar nominations yeah i think from every in every category i think from best actor they had in. those. tavia a.j. the films they get out of this system you need time you know for women for rachel because you know she. she is d.p. you know it's been pretty special to us and now with netflix and amazon and the opportunities are incredible right yeah i mean i think there's a lot more opportunities to be able to do good work it is so many different mediums going on at the same time so people get a chance to explore and i think they're starting to realize what the audiences want and audiences want like clues and they want to see us all together making projects and understand each other's world you really are neither would leave daniels on empire he did but right now you're still in that series you still work with yeah

yeah i mean i'm a big i think i have like 34 episodes to go i told him i would do 10 so it's been it's been interesting it's been fun you know and your background is originally in music. i started i did start in vocal as vocalist and i had a music scholarship at u.s.c. conservatory so i was singing there in training but then i decided i wanted to switch over to acting i thought it would be more more connected to the people i knew you still saying no. no i really don't like that home a little bit sometimes with his with all of long time since you directed are going to direct again i was thinking of the writing and i had been developing it's a couple things that were developing so that only armstrong you know that was interesting to me you know and maybe maybe i'll do that or do you find another piece hasn't been a movie about him is there no knowing that i've interviewed him all really in miami

years ago who knew it was all like oh it was extraordinary he had his house in queens he never never left that house lived all the walls in queens and there should be a major battle here i mean he started jazz music he really did in and they did different improvisational movements and it's gotten to things like that moving through the times he was he actually shifted quite a bit his music as a time when along as a populace player in some ways to you know pretty good tramper he gave and a great singer. he sang with so many different people it's like so many different from different ways and from sinatra to crosby yeah just a smidge coming up the forest on the biggest risk is taking what scares him will disclose his work with v.m.s. go right back. financial for one day with the money laundering 1st visit the 3 different.

to get started well we have our 3 bags all set up here maybe you're something in america something overseas or cayman island is right for complicit in the. we just have to say they need to do some serious wounds ok let's see how we did while we've got a nice watch for max and for stacy oh beautiful jewelry and how about. bill again from that you know what money laundering is highly. watched kaiser of course . right now there are 1000000 people who are overweight or obese it's profitable to self. and sugary and salty and addictive it's not at the individual level it's not individual willpower and if we go on believing that never change this obesity

epidemic that industry has been influencing very deeply the medical and scientific establishment. so what's driving the obesity epidemic it's a corporate profit move. those of us who watch carefully the russia gate hoax oh yes worried that it would eventually become the foundation for policy the biting ministration has done things i mean this is what you do with transfer borders or american liberals the reason this opening. in 2040 you no bloody revolution here to crush the demonstrations going to be relatively peaceful political protests to be creasing the violent revolution is always spontaneous or is it your style or here put them in your list put video of clue in the new bill is that i new school in

need of the former ukrainian president recalls the events of 2014. of those who took part in it invested over $5000000000.00 to assist ukraine in these and other goals that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic. country . one of the truly great talents is in black panther it opens in theaters february 16th less to have you here we talked about recent experiences with racism does it feel we've gotten better or worse since then i think that. this is a nation we have to recognize that there's issues of racism and separatism that's

going on and it's affecting people in different ways whether it's from profiling whether it's like. not a lot of people have certain rights to me it's interesting as i did this film just showed it's and it was called burden and it was about the ku klux klan member who's open you know memorabilia shop in this is everyone's always passing by because he falls down grace years of working with his southern baptist preacher but he's in 1000 any 6 that he started this dish up the shop with all the protests that were around it was a very long ago and we look you know ross this nation we're seeing things happen you know people being killed you know so many young male black use you know who are dying their hands of police officers because of whatever reasons many different reasons but i think we have to recognize that these things are going on and once we can always them that we can move to the next level of being able to find some sort of. movement towards healing what do you when you were going conflict

resolution what would you do i do have an i work as a special envoy for peace recognition for reconciliation for. for you know sco in the usa but i say have an organization called the p.d.i. which is what a piece of developing initiative we work in training news across the world in conflict resolution and helping them become for moving from peace builders to a community builders or development people we're like operate out of south sudan will very large program we have thousands of people that we work with there we also have a program the refugee camps in uganda where we work with mostly south sudanese refugees that are coming in and in the north of utah and to help people get the skills to be able to structure move forward their lives get started now i started when i was younger when i was trying to understand conflict with. gang violence and stuff dealing with some of the gang members and stuff but then in it's opened up actually

when i was in uganda. and i met some child soldiers there and i started working with them in orphanages were there i know and as i started working there i started to see the problems in the needs and i started to work there and we also have a program in mexico or in tijuana and in chop us we have a program now in the holy city schools where we put an education inside of the core curriculum of the school system so we just started our programs our pilot with the city schools you talked about the importance of spreading kindness. you're optimistic about that. i am i think it's you know at the core love and is is a solution to everything and i think that one more one doesn't to talk about it he says that if enough people do basically enough small acts of kindness and goodness then it will overwhelm the world and so it's all about being able to do to do your part in the best where you can even if it seems small it adds up to something great

it seems hard in a chaotic world it's a chaotic world it does seem or seems hard to category of outside of ourselves and sometimes for the chaos that happens inside of people's own minds but we have to find peace and be kind to ourselves to be kind to others and to try to offer them the opportunity to experience connection and love and through that we can though we can solve many of the problems that are going on today who pull game here called if you only knew what was your childhood so liberty crush i think dying kero they should. see good talent. you know i like to explore martial arts in meditation is stuff really is job you ever had i was cleaning the bathrooms in a gas station when i was like 12 that were in a carson on a. the tories street yeah the biggest risk you've ever taken when i was working on bird you know when i was 1st doing that i decided to trust that if i fail goes ok

but i need to dance anything go out on a limb and fall i'd be ok. last time you were star struck i guess you know i've been asked a few times to to moderate for the dalai lama in a number of ways like a impressed by what he's doing he's a good guy. what is it what is something you're afraid of sometimes i feel like i've lost some of my passion and that makes me quite afraid. see because fear itself is ok because fear is like an indicator something happening it changes something in law used to like it when i would start a project i needed to feel afraid i start feeling the fear sometimes and then like makes me feel concerned about how much i'm growing and how much of connecting you can anymore i mean i like to content i don't know if i'm i'm not really content in my life you know in this is of like things being all perfect but i do know that i can work on the parts of times i haven't felt the feeling and i drive that's

a fear strangest stammen counter oh sometimes you know it can be a little overt celestin going to sit on a car or something to stop your ship like that. something people get wrong about you i guess we did and i'm capable of like carrying on like conversations in in you know being socialist of i'm not i'm not good at that i can do direct a conversation i can't do like this normal conversation sometimes you don't like small cocktail parties i'm just not very adept at it is not that i don't like it i just not very good when you feel most free times you know just seen at the beach you know looking at the ocean. why do you like. playing other people because it gives me an opportunity to explore humanity every character i play i get to go deep inside of them and try to understand my connection with them is the real reason why i started doing what i do and so that's

why it's always you in that character right and this is it's always me at the community because my physical body i guess but when you get down to the core there's like a little light in that things everyone is connected to everyone and that sense is like being able to magnify a cell inside of your body make it grow into something else and allow that to take over you know i swear that's what i do it's not it's not just me it's a piece connecting to the to the larger connected to the bigger thing some media questions for james to our ask how did you get started in acting my own music teacher asked me you know sad to take speech music for music and she asked me if i would. addition for the play in college i did i did i got cass's like the manager in the under milk wood and i sort of started me in the 1st beaking role and ever had. i still like the other i do i don't do much of

a k k o s for your role in the last king of scotland how did you get into the mindset of a psychotic person to play social roles so convincingly without it messing with your own mind. i didn't i didn't really think of them as a psychotic person i guess i was really like look trying to figure out who we was and what motivated him to do these they different things and that kind of helped me move into the headset 1st to the way he speaks to his language and then through his actions and his deeds and then like through his family in the things he touched and going to talk to people and so all these things help me figure out who he was. a poor what celebrity would you like to have dinner with dead or alive. oh i think it would be interesting to get well known to gene pretty create honor to get to sit with more of the king and here's some of his ideas in what he was thinking behind the veil how do you. how do you feel about the made to movement.

i mean i think it's important to you know people who have been abused you know voice in people who've been you know suppressed and harmed to be able to speak up about the things that have happened and to heal and to also to stop it from occurring again are you shocked by it all or no i mean i think the statistics are always kind of there always like talking about abuse one in 4 women and is that nature so i guess that the fact that it's coming out in it's being spoken was it a strong movement maybe. i didn't know i think i can predict that you know. alex or rita who's your favorite star wars character. i guess is a kid probably consolo is really fun because he's funny too i think it's also impressive land ok when the scene you know. i your book we go who inspired you most as a kid. the thing because it i think he was always like trying

to be like him as a kid trying to you know have the kind of coolness that he had and so i guess he did. what. film or t.v. role to do you consider personally your greatest accomplishment. i guess it would be last king there's like 4 films that i look at because last king but then there's there's a bird there's. ghost dog there's the butler and then there's this one for different reasons like for for for the last king of scotland i understood about transportation changing and i think with butler i had just about transit incident and i understood about silence with ghost dog and i understood. different things stiffer reasons you know boy tell me about labyrinth.

it's a priest about a biggie smalls into prosecutors the murders and the investigation of that play. a news reporter and johnny depp plays a police officer who's because obsessed with the with the crime and we both investigate to see if we can find the real truth about how they were killed were you like or when johnny yeah i do i like jodi a lot and we have worked on platoon together like a 1000000 years ago you know and so it was kind of nice to get it we're going to get it's always a very good seeing you again it's a pleasure. farse want to go to thank you for being our guest black panther theaters february 16th you can always find me on twitter king's things in the city and next on.
