>> Stephen: HAVE YOU SAT IN A JURY?
>> I HAVE BEEN SELECTED TWICE, AND I DON'T KNOW WHY.
(LAUGHTER) IT'S REALLY NERVE RACKING WHEN,
FOR JURY DUTY YOU GO THERE.
AND THE LAWYERS ARE REALLY BORING.
YOU FALL ASLEEP.
THEY GO ON AND ON.
THEY SAY, IF I DON'T HAVE EVIDENCE, WOULD YOU CONVICT THE
PERSON?
YOU'RE LIKE, NO, I WOULDN'T DO THAT.
THERE ARE SOME WHO HAVE A REAL STAGE PRESENCE AND THEY ACTUALLY
KNOW HOW TO KEEP YOUR ATTENTION.
AND THAT'S REALLY THE ACTOR'S FIRST JOB, AS YOU WELL KNOW, IS
TO KEEP PEOPLE AWAKE.
>> Stephen: RALPH RICHARDSON SAID THE ART OF ACTING IS TO
KEEP PEOPLE FROM COUGHING.
>> THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT.
>> Stephen: THIS IS ON HBO AND TAKING OVER THE SLOT "GAME OF
THRONES" IS IN.
SO LET'S PUT SOME ASSES IN THE SEATS HERE.
ARE THERE ANY DRAGONS?
DO YOU GET NAKED IN THIS?
>> THERE IS NAKEDNESS.
THERE'S EMOTIONAL NAKEDNESS.
>> Stephen: IS THERE PHYSICAL ENACT NAKEDNESS?
DO YOU GET PHYSICAL NAKEDNESS AT ALL?
>> YEAH, THERE IS NAKEDNESS.
>> Stephen: WHAT'S IT LIKE TO BE NAKED ON CAMERA?
>> IT'S VERY INTERESTING.
THE SEX SCENE WILL BE NAKED.
>> Stephen: LET'S TAKE IT ONE STAGE AT A TIME.
FIRST LET'S GET NAKED TOGETHER.
I HAVE BEEN NAKED ON STAGE BUT NEVER ON FILM.
>> YOU HAVE BEEN NAKED ON STAGE, OKAY.
HOW DID YOU FEEL?
>> Stephen: I WAS YOUNG AND NEEDED THE MONEY.
(LAUGHTER) >> I DON'T THINK IT'S THAT HARD.
IF YOU'RE FRIENDS WITH THE CREW.
IF YOU'RE NOT FRIENDS WITH THE CREW, THEN YOU FEEL A LITTLE BIT
WEIRD.
IF THE OTHER PERSON'S NAKED -- >> Stephen: THAT HELPS, TOO.
THAT HELPS A LOT.
>> Stephen: HOW DOES IT HELP IF THE CREW YOU'RE FRIENDS WITH
GO, LIKE, GO FOR IT, JOHNNY!
(LAUGHTER) HOW'S THE SEX SCENE?
>> IT'S LIKE BEING IN THE DENTIST'S OFFICE, YOU KNOW
REECIALTIONLY.
IT'S SO UNSEXY.
>> Stephen: I'VE HAD SOME VERY SEXY HSEXY HYGIENISTS.
>> I'VE HAD SOME VERY STRANGE ENCOUNTERS IN THESE SITUATIONS
BECAUSE SOMETIMES PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO SHOW THEIR BREASTS, AND
THEY HAVE TAPE ON AND YOU'VE NEVER MET THE PERSON BEFORE.
>> Stephen: DO YOU A SOCK ON OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT?
>> IT DEPENDS.
IT'S REALLY A STRANGE SITUATION BECAUSE A LOT OF TIMES, YOU
KNOW, WHEN YOU'RE ACTING IN THE SCENE, IF IT'S THE SEDUCTION
SCENE LEADING TO IT, THAT CAN BE SEXY.
BUT IF YOU'RE ACTUALLY HAVING SEX, YOU REALIZE WHAT AM I
ACTUALLY DOING, BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT REALLY ACTUALLY DOING IT AND
SOMETIMES YOU COME OUT AND HAVE A HEADACHE.
>> Stephen: BUT YOU HAVE TO DO YOUR BEST ANYWAY.
>> WELL, YOU TRY TO MAKE YOUR PARTNER FEEL COMFORTABLE, AND
SOMETIMES YOU'RE SAYING AM I TOO HEAVY OR THINGS LIKE THAT.
>> Stephen: THAT'S VERY THOUGHTFUL OF YOU.
>> I ASK THEM TO PUT MUSIC ON SOMETIMES.
SOMETIMES YOU HAVE A DRINK, YOU KNOW.
ONE TIME I DIRECTED A SEX SCENE IN A MOVIE AND I REALIZED THE
PEOPLE COULDN'T REALLY -- THEY WERE GOING TO BE TOO INHIBITED
AND I DECIDED TO TAKE JAMES OUT OF THE SCENE AND I PUT KATE ON A
BOUNCY BALL, SO SHE WAS ON THE BOUNCY BALL --
(LAUGHTER) >> Stephen: THAT'S ACTING!
AND THE PROBLEM WAS, WHEN WE DID JAMES, HOW TO CONNECT THEM,
SO I TOOK KATE'S WIG, AND AS JAMES WAS HAVING SEX, I THREW
KATE'S WIG IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA.
AND I HAVE TO SAY, IF YOU WATCH THE SCENE, IT'S REALLY SEXY,
BECAUSE THEY'RE COMPLETELY FREE BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT TOGETHER,
YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?
>> Stephen: RIGHT.
I'VE HAD THAT KIND OF SEX, TOO.
(LAUGHTER) CONGRATULATIONS, THANK YOU SO
MUCH!
"THE NIGHT OF" AIRS SUNDAY NIGHTS ON HBO.
JOHN TURTURRO, EVERYBODY!
