one week from tonight you can catch our
next guest in his new psychological
thriller that debuts right here on local
4 that's right the show is called the
enemy within and stars Morris Chestnut
as an FBI agent who works with a
notorious u.s. traitor played by
Jennifer Carpenter
they both are working to bring an enemy
to justice but their motivations are
very different I can do more no there's
no redemption for people like you you're
a traitor in you're a killer you don't
think I know that I wake up every day
knowing those four people are dead
because of me
their names most four people have names
Stephen haibach Bryan Lanning Desiree
Villarreal and Layne Heffron your
fiancee I know their names agent Keeton
I know the names of their parents and
their children I know everything about
them because I've lived with their
ghosts for the last three years
I saw if I oh I think Tati needs to be
fan I'm fine thank you joining us now
live from New York is Morris Chestnut
thank you for being here with us thank
you guys for having us all right well
this seems to have some similarities to
the blacklist and blind spot where you
have agents work with someone that
appears to be the enemy but as we have
found in those shows not everything is
as it appears
tell us about your show exactly not
everything is what it appears and I
think our show those are two great shows
by the way I don't mind the comparison
but I think our show is a little bit
different because I think our show
focuses more heavily on the characters
it's a character driven drama with a lot
of action a ton of action a lot of heart
and a lot of emotion so I think we do
differ slightly from those shows well
I'm curious do you have a painting in
your attic that's aging because you
don't look any different than you did
like 25 years ago what is what's going
on
a lot of fast food you know I eat fast
food on a daily bit this try to take
care of myself
hope for me yeah we know your character
is dealing hustle did you get some water
did you get some water for your coffee I
finally just walk you you're hurt you
heard that good I mean come on now look
what's up what type of the place are
they running around it yeah get you some
water
we're working on it your character is
dealing with a lot the loss of the
fiancee but now he's acting with the
woman who caused her death this is quite
the twist yeah that's that's one of the
things about the show throughout the
course of the show is not just about an
FBI agent working with someone to get to
catch the bad guys I'm dealing with I'm
still dealing with the loss of my fiance
which was caused by her she sees me as
I'm the person that put her that put her
away from jealous what she can't she's
still fighting to have a relationship
with her daughter which she's more than
likely it's never gonna have so we were
both dealing with some some some huge
emotional loss and we have to navigate
our jobs and and our pursuit dealing
with that loss Wow well I can't wait to
get into the show but while we have you
I have one last question for you so
we've kicked off our wedding week today
on live in the dean you have been
married to your wife for more than 20
years what do you think is the key yes
solid marriage Wow that's the thing so I
think first and foremost I think my wife
is incredible I got truly got looking
I'm not just saying that I truly got
lucky she's an incredible woman and I
think on top of that one of the most
important things is communication you
have to communicate with each other
because you know throughout the course
of the years you know sometimes people
you know hold things in if this
presentment builds up and we all change
I mean we all improve I mean we're
different people from you know from the
age of 25 to 30 from 30 to 35 we grow
and we mature so we're very fortunate to
grow together because we communicate
beautiful all right Morris thank you so
much for talking to us today
thank you guys for having me the enemy
