OVER HERE, YOU KNOW, SO, I WAIT AND WATCH THE -- WE TALK ABOUT
THE BRUNO PERFORMANCE, WHICH IS AWESOME
( APPLAUSE ) BY THE WAY, EVERYBODY TALKED
ABOUT BRUNO IN THAT SONG.
IT WAS REALLY AWKWARD FOR EVERYBODY INVOLVED.
>> Stephen: GOTCHA.
I WAS, LIKE, OKAY, GOT TO GET TO THE AIRPORT.
AS SOON AS I WAS IN THE CAR.
DID YOU SEE?
DID YOU WATCH?
WERE YOU THERE?
AND I SAID, WHAT HAPPENED?
ULTIMATELY, I MISDZ MISSED THE ENTIRE THING.
( AUDIENCE REACTS ) YEAH, JUST BECAUSE I WAS COMING
TO SEE YOU.
SO -- >> Stephen: WELL, I'M
GRATEFUL.
I'M GRATEFUL.
( APPLAUSE ) AT LEAST YOU CAN SAY I WAS IN NO
WAY INVOLVED IN THAT SITUATION.
I'M OUT CLEAN.
>> THAT'S RIGHT.
>> Stephen: YOUR FILM "ENCANTO," IT WON THE OSCARS.
CONGRATULATIONS.
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
( APPLAUSE ) >> Stephen: YOU HAVE A YOUNG
DAUGHTER, RIGHT?
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: HOW OLD IS SHE?
ABOUT 14 MONTHS.
>> Stephen: OKAY.
IS SHE OLD ENOUGH TO PLAY THE "ENCANTO" SOUND TRACK FOR HER?
>> SHE DIDN'T HAVE TO BE OLD ENOUGH.
I MEAN, WE PLAYED IT FOR HER REGARDLESS, RIGHT.
SO EVERY SINGLE MORNING SINCE THE MOVIE RELEASE AD, WE PLAYED
THE SOUND TRACK FOR HER, AND NOW SHE CAN STAND UP, YOU KNOW.
SHE HOLDS HERSELF UP, SHE CLAPS HER HANDS.
IT'S VERY FUNNY BECAUSE IT'S GETTING TO THE POINT WHERE, YOU
KNOW, SHE'S STARTING TO KIND OF IDENTIFY DANCING, SO SHE'S
BOUNCING A LITTLE BIT, AND LAST WEEK SHE STARTED MAKING REALLY
SUSPECT MOVES.
( LAUGHTER ) >> Stephen: WHAT DO YOU MEAN
BY SUSPECT MOVES?
>> YOU KNOW, SHE DO ONE OF THESE, AND THEN SHE'D DO ONE OF
THESE.
( LAUGHTER ) AND I WAS, LIKE -- THT IS --
>> Stephen: MAYBE HOLD IT RIGHT THERE?
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: MAYBE HOLD IT RIGHT THERE?
>> YEAH, MAYBE NO MORE "ENCANTO" SOUND TRACK, YOU KNOW.
IT LOOKED TOO CLOSE TO A TWERK.
( LAUGHTER ) >> Stephen: YOU'RE STARTING IN
AN UPCOMING SERIES AZORO FOR DISNEY.
BEFORE I GET TO THE PHOTO, HOW FAMILIAR WERE YOU WITH ZORO
GROWING UP?
>> VERY FAMILIAR.
IT'S THE DREAM OF MY LIFETIME TO BE ZORO.
SINCE I WAS SEVEN YEARS OLD I WANTED TO BE ZORO, YOU KNOW.
>> Stephen: SO THIS IS -- HERE WE ARE.
IS THIS -- >> YEAH.
>> Stephen: IS THIS YOU RIGHT HERE?
>> THAT'S NOT ME RIGHT THERE.
>> Stephen: I GO BACK.
THIS IS YOU?
>> HERE'S THE BACK STORY ON THIS REALLY TELLING PICTURE.
SO WHEN I -- YOU KNOW, I LIVED IN VENEZUELA.
IN CARNIVAL YOU GO TO SCHOOL AND DRESS UP.
I USED TO DRESS LIKE ZORO EVERY SINGLE YEAR.
AND MY FRIEND CALLED ME THE NIGHT BEFORE AND SAID I'M GOING
TO BE SORRY TO TOMORROW.
AND I DIDN'T LIKE IT.
SO I WANTED TO SEND HIM A MESSAGE AND I WORE THE COSTUME
AND FOLLOWED HIM EVERYWHERE IN THE SCHOOL.
>> Stephen: WATCH OUT.
( APPLAUSE ) WHO'S THIS?
>> THAT'S MY LITTLE SISTER MARILYN.
>> Stephen: FANTASTIC.
WE'RE BOTH PART OF THE "NCIS" FAMILY HERE.
>> YES.
>> Stephen: YOU JOINED "NCIS" IN '14, NOW IT'S IN SEASON 19.
THAT'S A LOT OF NAVAL CRIME.
HOW MUCH CRIME IS THERE ON AND AROUND BOATS?
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: AFTER HAVING DONE THAT FOR FIVE SEASONS, WE'RE IN
THE FIFTH EPEES SEASON, DO YOU THINK YOU COULD SOLVE A CRIME?
>> THAT'S AFTER LOADED QUESTION.
AS ACTORS WE DO SOMETHING LONG ENOUGH WE THINK WE CAN DO IT.
>> Stephen: EVERYBODY ON GRGRAY'S ANATOMY THINK THEY CANO
SURGERY.
>> GOD FORBID THEY'RE IN A RESTAURANT OR SOMETHING, I'M NOT
A DOCTOR BUT I PLAY ONE ON TV.
I THINK I COULD BE GOOD AT SOLVING CRIMES BUT,
UNFORTUNATELY, I THINK CRIME HAS TO BE RIDICULOUSLY WEIRD AND
TWISTED BECAUSE THAT'S THE ONLY CASES WE HAVE ON THE SHOW.
( LAUGHTER ) >> Stephen: THERE ARE NO
SIMPLE CRIMES.
>> IT HAS TO BE A WEIRD CLOWN THAT STEALS SWEATY CLOTHES AND
IT'S SOMETHING REALLY IMBRUESUM AND I BET I WOULD BE REALLY GOOD
AT THAT.
>> Stephen: THE NEW "NCIS" IS "NCIS" HAWAII.
>> RIGHT.
>> Stephen: AND THERE'S A CROSSOVER EPISODE.
I THINK IT'S TONIGHT.
I COULDN'T WATCH IT BECAUSE I'M INTERVIEWING YOU.
>> YES.
>> Stephen: WE HAVE A CLIP HERE.
DO YOU WANT TO TELL ME WHAT'S HAPPENING IN HAWAII.
>> WE'RE WALKING THROUGH THE SACRED GROUNDS AND WE ROLL UP ON
SOMEONE AND WE DO COP STUFF.
>> Stephen: YOU DO COP STUFF.
YEAH.
>> Stephen: DON'T GET TOO TECHNICAL.
>> YEAH, NO, I GET IT.
I DON'T WANT TO GIVE ANYTHING AWAY BUT IT'S A FAKE BAD GUY.
( SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC ) >> TAKE IT AWAY.
SPECIAL AGENT TORRES.
WE MEET AT LAST.
>> I'M SORRY.
I HAVE NO IDEA WHO YOU ARE.
>> REALLY?
BUT I DO NEED YOU TO LOWER THAT WEAPON.
>> PLEASE AND THANK YOU.
>> Stephen: COP STUFF.
COP STUFF.
( APPLAUSE ) VERY POLITE.
>> Stephen: WILMER, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE.
"NCIS" AIRS MONDAYS AT 9:00 P.M.
