after two takes, billy ray, the writer/director said i want you to meet somebody and around the corner okay, and first of all, you think that's tall. he's 6'8", and then you realize he's really 7'12". he's huge, as tall as a tree. i put two inch lifts in my shoes. i wasn't even close. >> did you drop out of character, jeff? it's anthony mason. did you drop out of character right away? what do you do in a moment like that? >> no, i was aware that he might come that day. i just didn't know that it would be after two takes of probably the most important scene in the movie, so i, it was great to meet him. you always hope they like it, but it's not a requirement and he said you know, you brought back the emotion i felt, the struggle i felt to try to figure out what to do, what to say. >> he said you ruined his day. he said you did it so good you ruined his day. >> he said it made him feel a little nauseous which usually for an actor is not a good compliment but i took it as one. >> having played the part, do you have a different appreciation of james comey now? >> yes. i know more. i know w

and i know billy ray and the producer and writer and you felt strongly that it come out before the election. explain that? >> that was the deal. that was what we were pitched and why we all jumped onboard. we want to be part of the conversation. we know one part of the story and that's trump. well, comey's a liar. and there's another side. and this is that. and certainly before an election, you might want to hear that other side to be more informed than perhaps all of us were in october of 2016. so it was important to billy, it was important to me that that be -- that it come out before the election and when it wasn't going to be coming out before the election, that, you know, that was unacceptable. >> what is it eabout the comey story that is so important to the trump story? because i feel that the comey story is so central to the trump story. to me, it's where trump most blatantly asks the fbi to serve him and not the country. the country's preeminent law enforcement agency is supposed to catch bad guys, protect the homeland from terrorists, from mass shootings, from threats. donald trump

and billy ray, the writer/director was far more knowledgeable about comey. so i had -- i was okay.e apolitical public servants that came after him. and i could get my timeline wrong, but sally yates may have been even before comey when she was fired and led before congress and lit it up. jim comey was that apolitical public servant who was simply trying to do his job on the side of what was right. that opened the door for people like fiona hill, colonel vindman and others. that's the picture of apolitical public servants trying to do their job in trump's administration. there were other things that impacted the election, aside from comey, not standing in front of a podium and announcing like a showboat that he was going to reopen the investigation into hillary's emails in october. he didn't do that. he sent the letter to the gang of eight and jason chavez leaked it because two days later, giuliani was going to leak it. it was coming out. the media jumped on it. as you guys know, that's a red meat story. that's eyeballs and ratings. that happened. what didn't happen was an even bett
