KYLE CHANDLER IS HERE.
KYLE, SO NICE TO SEE YOU.
I MEAN I HAVE NEVER FELT SO JEALOUS OF SOMEONE'S VONDINGS IN
ALL OF THESE DISPLOOMS, THAT IS QUITE THE FIREPLACE YOU HAVE GOT
ROARING THERE.
>> WE NEED TO HURRY UP THIS INTERVIEW BECAUSE IT'S REALLY
HOT TOO.
>> NOW YOU'RE ZOOMING IN FROM YOUR HOME IN TEXAS.
HAVE YOU ADJUSTED TO THIS NEW VIRTUAL WORK LIFE THAT SO MANY
OF US ARE DEALING WITH RIGHT NOW?
>> YOU KNOW, I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE, THERE ARE POSITIVES AND
NEGATIVES WITHIN ALL THIS CRAZINESS.
>> YEAH.
>> THE CLOSENESS OF FAMILY AND NEW RELATIONSHIP IN THE FAMILY,
I DON'T THINK WE HAVE EVER BEEN CLOSER IN THE HOUSE THAN EVER
BEFORE.
BUT THE OTHER PART, AS FAR AS WORK IS CONCERNED, DOING
SOMETHING LIKE THIS, I ENJOY DOING IT LIKE THIS.
I, THIS TAKES AWAY A LOT OF STRESS, TRAVEL, TENSION, THE
WHOLE DEAL.
AND I FEEL COMFORTABLE.
YOU SIT HEAR IN YOUR UNDER-- IN YOUR PANTS AND EVERYTHING IS
GOOD.
>> James: YEAH.
WELL NOW WE KNOW THAT BELOW THAT SCREEN ARE YOU JUST IN YOUR
UNDERPANTS AND I UNDERSTAND WHY.
BECAUSE THAT IS A WARM FIRE.
I GET IT.
NOW KYLE, THIS IS YOUR FIRST TIME ON THE SHOW.
AND I SHOULD SAY I'M SUCH A HUGE FAN OF SO MANY PERFORMANCES THAT
YOU HAVE GIVEN IN YOUR CAREER, I REALLY AM, BUT I DIDN'T KNOW
THIS, THAT WHEN YOU BECAME AN ACTOR, A WAFFLE HOUSE PLAYED A
SIGNIFICANT ROLL IN YOUR CHOICE TO ACT.
AND HOW DOES THIS, EXPLAIN TO ME HOW THIS HAPPENS.
WHAT IS SIGNIFICANT.
>> THE UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA, A GIRLFRIEND AND I WERE WALKING
DOWN THE STREET AROUND 3:00 IN THE MORNING AND A WAFFLE HOUSE
WAS AROUND THE CORNER FROM WHERE WE WERE LAYING OUR STUFF AND TO
GET A CUP OF COFFEE AN I RAN INTO FOUR PEOPLE WHO WERE VERY
STRANGE, VERY BIZARRE PEOPLE, THREE GUYS AND A GIRL.
AND WE BUMMED A CIGARETTE.
WE HAD THE LONGEST CONVERSATION.
AND AS I WAS LEAVING THE ONE NELL FELLOW BECAME A VERY DEAR
FRIEND, HE GOES YOU SHOULD TRY OUT FOR A PLAY DOWN IN THE
CELLAR THEATER.
I HAVE NO IDEA WHY, THEY ENDED UP, THEY WERE WITH THE DRAMA
DEPARTMENT.
I AUDITIONED FOR A KOL DE OF ERRORS.
I WAS ONE-- IN GOT THE ROLE, ENDED UP GOING TO GRAVE YARD AND
DOING ALL THE STUDY, A DIGSED, GOT IT AND IT CHANGED MY LIFE.
ONE, ONCE I MET ALL THOSE PEOPLE, THEY WERE ALL ABSOLUTE
FREAKS, I MEAN NUTS.
AND I KNEW I HAD FOUND MY HOME, I WAS IN.
AND THE OTHER THING WAS WHEN WE DID THAT SHOW IN THE YELLAR
THEATER,-- CELLAR THEATER AND IT ENDED AND WE STOOD THERE AND I
HEARD-- I WAS IN.
THAT WAS WHEN I WENT HOME TO TELL MY MOTHER, HERE IS WHAT I
DECIDED I'M GOING TO TRY TO DO.
AND THAT WAS THE BEGINNING OF IT.
>> James: WELL, GOD BLESS TYREE FOR SEEING THAT TALENT IN
YOU.
OTHERWISE WE NEVER WOULD HAVE HAD SOME OF THE INCREDIBLE SHOWS
AND MOVIES.
FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS IS SUCH A ICONIC SHOW.
AND I DIDN'T KNOW THIS BUT SOME OF YOUR REAL LIFE ACTUALLY MADE
IT ON TO THE SCREEN IN THAT SHOW, IN WHAT WAY DID YOUR REAL
LIFE BLEED INTO THE SCRIPT FOR THAT.
>> IT WAS FUNNY BECAUSE FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS, CONEY AND I RNGZ
AND, SHE IS ONE OF THE GREATEST PEOPLE I KNOW, I LOVE HER
DEARLY.
SHE AND I WOULD HAVE OPPORTUNITIES TO IMPROV DURING
THE SHOW.
AND SO IT WAS JUST NATURAL THAT YOU KNOW, WE-- 25 YEARS I HAD
BEEN MARRIED TO THIS POINT.
DURING THE MARRIAGE YOU GET IN THESE ARGUMENTS.
AND I DON'T WIN MANY OF THEM BUT I CAN BRING THE ARGUMENT TO THE
SHOW, PRESENT THE ARGUMENT, PUT MY FACTS OUT THERE, WIN THE
ARGUMENT, DONE.
AND SO WHEN THE SHOW WOULD AIR AND MY WIFE WOULD SEE THESE
THINGS SHE WOULD BE LIKE-- THEY WOULD CALL ME SOMETHING.
AND IT WAS REALLY FUN.
AS WELL AS THE KIDS.
TRY TO GET ONE OF MY DAUGHTERS ADVICE, AND STOP HALFWAY
THROUGH, LIKE DAD, I HEARD THAT ONE.
EPISODE 7, SEASON 2.
>> James: YOU TALK ABOUT YOUR DAUGHTERS, THEY WERE LIKE, THIS
IS EXCITING.
ONE OF YOUR DAUGHTERS SYDNEY HAS BEEN CAST IN THE NEW OLIVIA
WILDE MOVIE, DON'T WORRY-- HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT HER FOLLOWING
IN YOUR FOOTSTEPS?
DO YOU HAVE ANY WORRY OR ANXIETY ABOUT HER ACTING?
>> WELL, I NEVER PUSHED THE KIDS AT ALL.
IF ANYTHING, I SUGGEST THAT THEY BE DOCTORS AND LAUERS.
-- LAWYERS, I NEVER PUSHED THEM IN THAT AREA, BUT I WAS IN ROME
DOING CATCH 22 AND SHE WAS VISITING.
SHE TOLD ME, SHE GRADUATED WITH A WRITING DEGREE AND IS A VERY
GOOD WRITER, VERY WELL-READ, VERY SHARP KID.
AND SHE SAID POP, I WANT TO TAKE SOME ACTING CLASSES.
I WAS LIKE OH REALLY, SHE GOES BUT IT'S ONLY TO LEARN HOW TO
DEVELOP CHARACTERS FOR MY STORIES.
I THINK IT WILL BENEFIT TO DEVELOP CHARACTERS.
>> I SAID THAT IS A GREAT IDEA.
AND THAT IS WHAT SHE DID.
AND THEN SHE PURSUED IT FURTHER AND FURTHER AND WE SPENT THE
WHOLE LAST TEN MONTHS GOING IN AND OUT OF THE GUEST HOUSE, SHE
HAD ALL THESE AUDITIONS THAT WE PUT ON TAPE.
THERE WAS A COMPLETE DIFFERENT LANGUAGE WE HAD TOGETHER AND
DIFFERENT RELATIONSHIP THAT I FIND BEAUTIFUL.
BUT SHE JUST TOLD ME THE OTHER DAY, I WAS TELLING HER, SHE SAID
OH YEAH, I LIED TO YOU.
I GO WHAT DO YOU MEAN, I WAS ALREADY IN ACTING CLASS WHEN I
ASKED YOU IF IT WAS ALL RIGHT.
>> James: THAT IS GREAT, WHAT AN INCREDIBLE THING TO BE PART
OF.
WE HAVE TO CONGRATULATE YOU ON YOUR BRILLIANT NEW MOVIE, THE
MIDNIGHT SKY.
FOR ANYONE THAT DOESN'T KNOW TELL THEM WHAT IT IS ABOUT AND
WHO YOU PLAY.
>> MIDNIGHT SKY IS ABOUT A SCIENTIST ON EARTH IN THE ARCTIC
ALONE, SOLE SCIENTIST, GEORGE CLOONEY AND HE IS RACING TO TRY
TO STOP A SPACE CRAFT FROM RETURNING TO EARTH AFTER A
MULTIYEAR JOURNEY BECAUSE THERE IS A GLOBAL CATASTROPHE.
THERE ST. >> James: NOW THIS IS YOUR
THIRD TIME WORKING WITH GEORGE CLOONEY.
DO YOU GUYS HAVE A SHORT HAND IN THE WAY THAT YOU COMMUNICATE?
WHAT IS HE LIKE ON THE SET AS A DIRECTOR?
>> IN WILL ALL SERIOUSNESS, YES.
BECAUSE I IS AN ACTOR AS WELL SO YOU ARE ALREADY SKIPPING THE
MIDDLEMAN WHEN IT COMES TO DISCUSSING THINGS.
AND HE ALSO, HE-- IT IS PROBABLY LIKE YOUR SET RIGHT THERE.
YOU WANT TO MAKE IF IT FUN, EVERYBODY KNOWS WHAT THEY ARE
DOING, THEY ARE DOING 110%.
>> James: YEAH.
>> OH, SORRY.
>> James: I THINK IF I AM HONEST, I THINK WE ARE AT ABOUT
68% HERE BUT THAT'S ACTUALLY GOOD FOR A MONDAY.
SO YEAH, I WILL TAKE THAT.
I DONE THINK I HAVE EVER SEEN 110.
>> WATCH YOUR BACK.
>> James: WHAT IS HE LIKE WHEN IS HE GIVING YOU NOTES, YOU SAY
HE IS AN ACTOR, YOU ARE AN ACTOR, THAT MUST BE GREAT TO
HAVE A DIRECTOR WHO KNOWS EXACTLY HOW YOU ARE FEELING.
>> SO HE GIVES THESE, LIKE ONE OF THE GREAT DIRECTORS.
HE COMES UP WITH, HE IS THE KIND OF DIRECT THARY SAYS YES AND IT
MEANS MORE.
ALTHOUGH A LOT OF THE TIMES I GET THE SAME DIRECTION FROM MOST
ACTORS AND DIRECTORS.
THE ONE THING THAT HE SAYS, YOU KNOW, WE COME UP FRRK HIS HEART
WE SAY IT, FROM HIS MIND HE WOULD MEAN T AND HE WOULD SAY
ACT BETTER.
AND I WOULD.
>> James: YOU ABSOLUTELY WOULD.
KYLE WE'VE BEEN DOING A THING CALLED THE "LATE, LATE SHOW" N
TELL WHERE WE ASK OUR GUESTS TO SHARE SOMETHING FROM HOME THAT
WE MAY OTHERWISE NEVER GET TO SEE.
DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING YOU WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH US TONIGHT?
>> I DO, JAMES.
I HAVE SOMETHING I HAVE TO SHARE TONIGHT.
THIS IS SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN IN MY HOUSE FOR 28 YEARS.
THIS IS SOMETHING THAT MY WIFE AND I WHEN WE FIRST MET, WE WERE
SHARING A BOTTLE OF CHAMPAGNE AND WE HAD GRAPES AND CHEESE AND
CRACKERS AND FOR SOME REASON WE TOOK A GRAPE AND WE ROLLED IT IN
THE WAX OF THE CANDLE, AND WE SAID WE WILL KEEP THIS GRAPE
UNTIL, WELL, UNTIL WE'RE NOT TOGETHER ANY MORE.
SO I STILL HAVE IT.
SO IF YOU WANT A LONG RELATIONSHIP, TAKE A GRAPE AND
ROLL IT IN WAX AND THEN YOU JOIN HANDS IN MATRIMONY, BUT IF YOU
DON'T WANT TO BE TOGETHER WITH SOMEONE FOR 25 YEARS, DO NOT
ROLL A GRAPE IN WAX BEFORE YOU GET.
FOR GOD'S SAKE.
>> James: I HAVE NEVER WATCHED THE CONSPIRACY THEORY VIDEO BUT
I FEEL LIKE THIS IS WHAT THEY FEEL LIKE.
THIS SORT OF LEVEL OF PASSION.
WELL, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING YOUR WAX-COVERED GRAPE.
AND CONGRATULATIONS ON SUCH A LONG, HEALTHY MARRIAGE.
REGGIE, DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION FOR OUR GUEST THIS EVENING?
>> Reggie: YES.
TONIGHT'S QUESTION, GOES TO LET'S MAKE IT FOR MR. CHANDLER
SWRZ OKAY.
>> OKAY, SO YOU HAVE PLAYED MANY ROLLS, RIGHT?
>> SO LIKE WHAT IS LIKE A ROLL THAT YOU ARE LIKE WHOA, CAN'T
BELIEVE I PLAYED THAT.
>> I PLAYED A CASHEW ONE TIME, A CASHEW SHELL, HAVE YOU SEEN.
>> Reggie: ACTUALLY I HAVEN'T.
IT'S A FRUIT LIKE THING, RIGHT?
>> James: I MEAN THAT IS THE ANSWER T IS A CASHEW, REG S THAT
CORRECT?
>> Reggie: YOU KNOW, IT'S SO STRANGE BUT THAT ACTUALLY IS
WHAT I HAD WRITTEN DOWN AS THE ANSWER.
>> James: THAT IS INCREDIBLE.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, PLEASE THANK THE ONE, THE ONLY KYLE
CHANDLER.
