that’s how it works on the show uh with Rob low right after this still ahead from reindeer games [Applause] chal with the low and your sister-in-law was nominated for an Oscar this morning I know it’s a good day in the lwh house it’s so exciting Hillary Swank who was in Boys Don’t Cry a brilliant performance she put in in that in fact when I saw the movie I thought God here she reminds me of you in it yeah I wonder if she modeled that after I don’t know what that says about me but uh I kind of I mean just the look you know very pretty and handsome and the she was so fantastic in that movie she must be thrill I haven’t had a chance to talk to my brother or her yet today I’m going to call him when I’m done yeah don’t you do you love Awards shows do you hate them well you know uh Academy Awards is not my my my highest thing you know I I somehow back in the day was talked into singing with Snow White on the Academy Awards now that you bring it up I remember I wasn’t going there I swear I wasn’t you know now that water is under the bridge and the family name is being you know upheld at the Oscars I can go back and relive that without any postraumatic stress disorder okay good now that was I remember Snow White and you singing and opening notes no it was unbelievable as an actor you go hey this will be great everybody will go and it’ll be fun how about not fun yeah yeah how about like huge disaster yeah and I and I had that experience where you look into an audience and you fixate on like the most famous person you can see who’ you see Merl I could see I saw Merl Street and I swear to God singing with Snow White and this is what Mar Street’s face is doing no she’s going she’s going which is you know that’s got to be hard it’s really good for your confidence yeah it’s really but you know what was great is when I when I came when I was done back in the Green Room there was no one there there was a little tiny sort of redheaded woman sitting in the corner and it’s Lucille Ball and she says young man I didn’t know you were such a wonderful singer come sit and she I sat with her and she held my hand and we watched the next hour of the show together and it was it was one of the Highlights Highlights of my life so it it ended up being a great thing and at one point she said young man my head is absolutely killing me be Ault and get me some aspirin Lucille well I I uh went on the set of her last sitcom remember that one she did when she played the grandma and uh I didn’t say hello to her because I didn’t know you know I knew somebody who knew Gail Gordon I was like on Star Search or something and I went backstage I remember she walked past me and I’ll never forget it the feeling that I got it she was the I mean to have that kind I mean she did you hear what Jerry Lewis said yes what the heck he doesn’t like any female comics and he didn’t like Lucille Ball you can’t please anybody if you don’t like exactly if you don’t like Lucille Ball I’d like to check my career at the door please like to possibly ruin everything in one sentence a poor guy he I hope he was drunk you think he could have been drunk I think I think it was the altitude Aspen was high I hope he had like three shots at tequila before the and listen I never like free any there’s the altitude I’m convinced I felt bad for him in a way you know he’s getting up there he’s like 108 I think I don’t know how old he is he’s getting up there the poor guy anyway uh so how are things at West Wing I love the show thanks it’s so good and Stockard was here talking about the other day our first lady she is so great I think we have more like Oscar winners per capita on our show it’s like crazy I bet yeah Marley Matlin is uh is now uh part of our show and um it is we did a show last week about the death penalty that I thought was was really fantastic really riveting and um this it was it was really great and when the priest at the end and the priest M yeah will you hear my confession oh that was a killer I was in the show and was surprised how it ended really you know it was uh it was very touching it was it’s very it’s you know what it’s wish fulfillment it’s TV wish fulfillment we wish we wish that we we had uh that kind of uh government you know and maybe one day we will but you know what makes me nervous truthfully to think that that’s how things are done I like to think it’s like the all Powerful Oz I don’t really want to know how it works just make it work you don’t want to know that it’s human beings struggling with right and wrong every day no it’s like some assistant sleeps with a prostitute and then the whole you know career falls apart exactly what were you doing that night on that show anyway you know I I you know I went to to have a tough meeting had a hard day at the White House and you know a man needs a little companionship you know what was nice of you then you wanted to go back and date her cuz you thought she was nice as far as prostitutes go yeah she was nice and she wasn’t charging me so was free and maybe she liked you I know a good deal when I see one I’ll bet you do now um what how is it working with your good friend’s father cuz I know you grew up with uh amilio and and Charlie and now you’re working with their dad when I first moved to California I was 13 and we moved in Three Doors Down from the Sheen and I wanted to be an actor and I like oh that’s Martin Sheen’s house so we’d go trick or treat just to see him right you know and you know and then growing up and knowing amelo and Charlie he was like a sort of surrogate Father Figure to me so to end up with him as the president and me as as an adviser it’s when I look at him you know I have such a history and and he’s he’s just the heart and soul of our show and and everybody just worships him and and in many L I think he thinks he’s the president now yeah good he’d be a good president I think I swear to God he walks good to see good to see plays Hail to the Chief when gets out of his car no kidding oh yeah yeah he’s he’s like completely into it it’s great well I love him I love his politics too I think he’s a great guy he is he’s fantastic how are your kids they’re great thank you good yeah what are they into now they’re into Pokemon which I I don’t understand I but I laugh at the names Wiggly tufted and which evolves into a Jigglypuff right I don’t

I’m I’m all fuzzi out I was freezing aren’t you cold I know I don’t know what I was thinking you want me to get your sweatshirt no I’m thinking Hawaii I’m thinking warm well you look good but can I tell you something yes you always look different and every movie every time you he you walk out I’m thinking I haven’t met her yes I have cuz you look different every time oh I’m going to take that as a compliment well well you’re always beautiful but do you do that on purpose to look different cuz well I just I whenever I’m doing press for one movie I’m working on something else and so there’s a whole other look involved right you know like right now I’m wearing Samantha’s hair you know from reindeer games or from another one no this is this is somebody’s hair I don’t know really that’s not your hair at all no these are Hollywood secrets that I should prob wait a second I don’t see any wig line what is it extensions yeah it is can I look under there yeah totally because where do they oh my God they put the extensions up here can I tell you like that that M who was that guy The Mask du guy that gave all the secrets away for for the the mass magician yes you’re the MK actress these are actually hair extensions here is lifeo suction exactly [Applause] but I and these breasts they’re not real you know what I always thought this is how ridiculous I am extensions means they had to extend it from here I didn’t know they extended it from the top really yeah well now you know it’s like little toothpicks in there but it looks nice but what what is this for what movie you doing now uh a film called uh waking up in Reno and I play Arkansas enhance the roots Arkansas lady address those letters to Sherice yes saren not to me I did not say that I cannot believe that you let her say that about Arch it happens to me all the time I know it happens and it’s like you know you say it with the best intention because it’s not I’m I’m not trying to be mean or anything it happened to me the other day I I’ve been doing so much press for RoR games and you know after a while you sit in a room you know this you sit in a room and you did like 70 interviews and by the 50th one you know question one two and three right and three is we Shot the movie in Vancouver and people go so yeah and I loved being there but I don’t want to just keep answering it the same way plus the poor camera guy in there is going insane cuz I keep saying well it’s really great so I started livening it up a little bit and I thought a little humor might be good and I I I started telling the story about which is true cuz I’m a foreigner I’m not American so let’s get that out first right you’re from South Africa yes and going to Vancouver for me is very strange because it’s like a 2hour flight from LA and then you get off and it still looks like America not I mean I know there’s like you know you want to be special but it looks still like America I can still understand everything they say it sounds American right it’s English yeah and then you go to the Coke machine and you try and get a coke with a dollar and it doesn’t work and then you realize ah exactly you know I need to use some other money I’m in a foreign country now now what’s wrong with that is that what you said yeah so this guy wrote in a letter hi there guy um he wrote a letter into Entertainment Weekly saying uh dear Starlet chariss let me help clear up a little issue you might have uh we use different money in Vancouver because ready Vancouver is in Canada check any Atlas and then ouch here this is yours you might want it back and then and then my friend goes my friend goes where’s he from I’m like Ontario where’s that now does it bother you when you refix like that it doesn’t no so you’re better than me sometimes it gets to be mad really not like not something like that I mean I you know I couldn’t care less I love Vancouver and and if I know I do and I know I didn’t offend anybody I’m okay with it it is beautiful there I did a movie there as well it’s lovely it’s so clean and beautiful yeah and you have all these little streets that you can go and sit and drink coffee and it’s just very nice the only difference between Canada and America is Canada is cleaner yeah I think so it is it’s very clean there yeah it’s very clean yeah it’s very very beautiful dear Rosie I love what you said about can I say something nice quickly yeah go ahead okay the mountains are really beautiful too because they have pretty snow good tre good good okay now can I just say something uh very sort of butt kissy I love side house rules so much thank you so what a great movie that is so much that’s not really what you’re here to talk about but no no but it’s we got we got seven Oscar NS seven Oscar nominations I know and I’m so so glad Lassa hallstrom got an a nomination and John Irving and John Irving and Michael Kane I just H I’m just so yeah you know there’s nothing more amazing when when when you work on something than it’s so special and then I just loved it I thought it was absolutely brilliant it broke my heart too you know being an adoptive mom the whole subject matter about adoption and oh my God it just killed me I know not even being a mom just being a a woman and and standing around these kids and you know they all had Parents way back you know hiding behind the Honey Wagon but I was like come home with me I know it’s it’s really it’s so sad and there are still orphanages in America not called that they’re called foster homes or group group foster homes where they have 20 kids you know and if you ever go to visit one of those it’s the same kind of thing all the kids look up at you can you take me home it’s really heartbreaking you you just got a little I have a new baby yes congratulations third one thank you very much delightful a new baby in the house yeah we’re doing a show on March 21st for everybody it’s going to be on March 21st about adoption because a lot of people were curious how I adopted three kids in five years I’m going to tell everybody this is how you do it because there are so many kids who need and I think a lot of misconceptions like I think a lot of people have fears because they hear Bad stories about it taking forever and then you get your hopes up and then it doesn’t go through and right that’s good it’s a lot easier than people think and we’re going to have people in the audience who are School teachers and so that you don’t have to be rich and famous to do it that everybody can do it but anyway while I was just talking about me I’ll I’ll go to a break because that was really bad and uh sorry but I was thinking about the letters to People magazine and how I felt bad when people wrote that and that’s why I went on that tangent and if you get People magazine you’ll see what I mean uh but I shouldn’t be talking about it cuz it’s a negative thing and I really shouldn’t concentrate on the negative hey Rosie Rosie Rosie Rosie it’s okay all right Rosie go to a break Rosie hug me all right just thank you thank you I feel B take a break and we’ll talk about reindeer game so don’t go [Music] [Applause] away so absolutely we’re back with the sh uh whose name I never get right so I like to say it like that hello I’m French sh um now you’re new movie reindeer games with Ben Affleck too I have to say I think he’s like the next Mel Gibson kind of guy don’t you think oh yeah definitely I saw him on the cover some magazine he’s like a hunky young and taller taller hunky studly American he’s just a beautiful beautiful beautiful human being yes he’s a nice guy oh I’ve been so lucky you know it’s always so nice when you get to go and do the job that you love so much and then you get to do it with with nice people right you know yeah and he’s just H you get to play his girlfriend in this his wife I haven’t seen it yet I’m sorry uh I play as mother but no you don’t uh no he uh we play he plays a convict and I uh become a pen pal and we fall in love right yeah and he gets released out of prison and uh my brother played by Gary sise uh is a little bit of a bad guy and uh he wants to Rob this casino and he knows that Ben’s character has information on it so he kind of takes us Hostage to get all this information to Rob this casino got you but it’s a John frankenheimer movie and so it’s very much in that celebratory oldfashioned uh heist movies you know very great but very character-driven we have a clip and this is you and Ben when he gets out of prison and you’re um in bed together correct okay all right take a look ree your games right now only guys I’ve ever been with they never wanted to get to know [Music] me guy like you got to be 6 months before you can even touch my face but when I read what you wrote to me I said here’s a guy they say is a criminal but he’s not cuz he did what he had to do to save somebody and the world just didn’t see it that way state of Michigan anyway you wante me some wonderful things you’re pretty oh thank you you are you always look you look great in movies even you know some people you take their face you make it big it’s not good you know when you first saw yourself on the screen was it freaky oh I I I I and I know a lot of people talk about this and it just it gets old but I really went into a a very very bad depression you did yeah because I saw a screening of to Days in the Valley and the director had to actually come to my house CU he was worried about me I didn’t leave my room for about three days now you thought you looked ugly no I didn’t think I looked ugly I think it’s just shocking to hear yourself and to see yourself and plus the character was so uh you know was so much movie this is what um with James Spader yeah and the and the guns in the valley and two days in the valley yeah yeah that you were good in that I didn’t know that was you though again you don’t look like you and every movie you’re different but yeah I I had a I had a horrible depression and how did you get out of it I I guess uh alcohol helped um good good we’re not recommending that how could you tell the best people to drink that no no not I meant non-alcoholic beverages help exactly um but you just you just kind of have to get over it I guess you know plus time I saw myself in the movie I I thought I was like Sylvester Stallone because I don’t realize I have this thick of an accent cuz I don’t hear it yeah and I saw the movie I felt like yeah we’ll play baseball I couldn’t take it it was horrible it’s the voice that’s the worst The Voice cuz my voice just freaked me out I was like oh my and then you do those interviews and they play those tape back in front of you you hear yourself and you’re like I don’t even want to go on with the interviewer anymore can you write it down or something now when did you lose your uh South African accent um pretty early on on purpose yeah I mean I just couldn’t get a job right you know it’s like you look at the amount of foreign characters that come through and the amount of American characters come through and I realize pretty quickly I had to fake an American accent but it seems effortless to you now like it seems like you’re from Detroit no that’s a good thing you know what I mean like you seem like you it’s not it’s not I I don’t have to try that hard anymore I mean sometimes especially on the early early morning shows I have to really try and pronounce right right then I just become a slow but um but this time is good your show is at a good time all right good uh well tell everyone to go see a movie in your South African accent say reindeer games in South Africa oh I can’t do that come on you can go do it can I say it in Africans sure Africans is that another
