>> not steve madden at all. a great guy and everything, because he didn't go to jail because of me. he was six other people he was doing the same. >> have you spoken to him since? >> i haven't. the reason he did more time than i did is he had issues in jail. >> you got less time because you ratted out others. how do you feel about that now? >> it's a good question. there's two sides to that coin, because the part of it that says, well, i'm supposed to do the right thing and be an upstanding citizen and this crime is committed and i should help bring those people to justice. >> the other half is -- >> you're ratting out your friend. >> would you do the same again? >> the way i did that in the movie, i didn't rat out my friend. >> you ratted out the ones you didn't like very much. >> you're right, it was an incredibly tough, ethical dilemma i faced. in tend, the real agent, agent coleman, was an amazing guy. i have nothing but the highest respect and regard for him. he was really instrumental in helping me deal wi
