KNOW THIS UNTIL THIS MORNING THAT WHEN YOU WERE ON YOUR WAY
TO GET YOUR Ph.D FROM YALE. >> YEAH.
>> James: AND YOU GAVE IT UP BECAUSE YOU DECIDED TO GET INTO
ACTING. WHAT MADE YOU WANT TO MAKE THAT
DECISION? THAT IS QUITE A MAJOR LIFE
CHOICE. >> IT WASN'T REALLY A DECISION,
IT WAS JUST, I WAS WRITING POETRY AND FICTION, THOSE
LUCRATIVE BUSINESSES. AND I THOUGHT THIS IS VERY
LOAPLY, I WAS LIKE 22 AND I THOUGHT WELL, WHERE ARE THE
PEOPLE, OH, THE PEOPLE ARE DOING PLAYS SO I THOUGHT I SHOULD
WRITE PLAYS AND THEN I THOUGHT I SHOULD LEARN SOMETHING ABOUT
ACTING. AND EVENTUALLY, I WASN'T IN
SCHOOL ANY MORE AND I WAS OUT HERE TRYING TO AUDITION FOR
DORITOS COMMERCIALS. >> James: WELL, WERE PEOPLE
SURPRISED BY THIS DECISION? >> SURPRISE IS A WORD.
>> James: WERE YOU SUPPORT. >> SURPRISED IS A WORD BUT
HORRIFIED IS ANOTHER WORD. >> James: REALLY.
WHAT DID PEOPLE SAY. >> WHAT THE [BLEEP] ARE YOU
DOING. >> James: YEAH, AND WHAT DID
YOU SAY. >> I DON'T KNOW.
>> James: AND WHAT DID THEY SAY?
(LAUGHTER) >> I DON'T KNOW.
>> James: I MEAN PABLO, AS FIRST TV GIGS YOUR FIRST TV ROLE
WAS IN THE WIRE, WHICH IS AN AMAZING FIRST CREDIT TO HAVE.
WHAT DO YOU REMEMBER ABOUT THAT FIRST DAY ON SET.

>> YOU KNOW, I WAS 24, 25 YEARS OLD, JUST OUT OF ACT OFFING
SCHOOL. AND IT IT WAS MY FIRST DAY, AN
HBO SHOW, THEY HAD SOPRANOS, THEY DIDN'T HAVE, THE WIRE WAS
JUST AFTER FIRST SEASON, I WAS COMING ON THE SECOND SEASON,
NOBODY KNEW WHAT IT WAS, BUT I WAS VERY EXCITED, REALLY
THRILLED TO HAVE AN HBO SHOW AND GETTING READY FOR MY FIRST DAY
AT WORK. AND THIS GORGEOUS OLD FLIP PHONE
THAT I HAD, IN 2001, I DIDN'T CHARGE IT.
AND MY ALARM DIDN'T GO OFF. SO I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE AT WORK
AT 6:30 AND I WOKE UP AROUND 9 9:00 A.M.

THE WAY TO WORK, ENDED UP THREE AND A HALF HOURS LATE TO WORK ON
MY FIRST DAY. >> James: NO.

>> MY FIRST CAREER, AND DAVID SIMON WHO IS THE WRITER OF THE
SHOW GOD BLESS HIS SOUL, SUCH A BRILLIANT WRITER CAME INTO THE
MAKEUP TRAILER AND HE SAID DON'T WORRY.
JUST FOCUS ON THE JOB. AND THOSE WERE, I THINK THE MOST
WORDS HE SPOKE TO ME OVER THE COURSE OF THE WHOLE REST OF THE
SEASON. I DON'T KNOW IF BECAUSE.
>> FOCUS ON THE JOB, NOT THIS ONE, CUZ YOU'RE FIRED.
>> THAT IS WHAT I THOUGHT THE WHOLE TIME, NO WAY I MAKE IT
THROUGH THIS DAY. >> James: WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST
TIME ON THE SET LIKE, YOUR FIRST EVER DAY ON A FILM SET.

ALL OF US EXTRAS. AND I ALWAYS REMEMBERED THAT.
BECAUSE I NEVER HAVE RUN INTO HER AGAIN TO SAY THANK YOU.

OUT. I HAD A COUPLE OF LINES ON BAB
INFLUENCE, THAT MOVIE. AND ROB LOWE WAS IN THAT MOVIE,
HE WAS SUPER NICE TO ME AS WELL. LUCKILY HE CAME ON
CALIFORNICATION, HE SAID YOU ARE A GOOD PERSON.
>> James: IT WOULD HAVE BEEN GREAT IF HE CAME ON AND YOU
JUST. >> DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT YOU DID
TO ME ON BAD INFLUENCE. >> James: NOW WHEN YOU WERE ON
ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK, FANS ON SOCIAL MEDIA, USED TO ASK YOU
FOR A VERY SPECIFIC THING, WHAT WAS THE THING YOU USED TO GET
ASKED THE MOST ABOUT WHEN YOU WERE ON THAT SHOW.
>> PROBABLY A REQUEST FOR MUSTACHE RIDES.
>> James: BECAUSE YOU HAD WHAT YOU WAS COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS
A PORN STASH. >> THAT WAS THE NAME OF THE
CHARACTER. IT WAS A REFERENCE, THERE FOR A
REASON. HI A BIG BUSHY, FLUFFY THING.
AND IT IT WASN'T MINE. (APPLAUSE)
ROUND OF APPLAUSE, IT IT WASN'T MINE T WAS FAKE, IT WAS GLUED ON
AND THAT WAS THE AUDITION. >> SO THE MUSH TASH RIDE WOULD
BE DANGEROUS. >> IT WOULD COME OFF, CLEARLY.
