>> James: YOU HAD A BABY BOY A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO.
>> I DID.
>> James: TWO AND A HALF MONTHS.
>> TWO AND A HALF MONTHS, HOW IS HE DOING, HOW ARE YOU DOING, ARE

>> I'M GETTING JUST ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO FUNCTION SO I THINK THAT

HE'S LOVELY AND SWEET AND PERFECT AND YOU KNOW, I'M HERE
SO I AM OUT OF THE HOUSE, THAT FEELS LIKE A BIG WIN.
>> James: YES.

>> YEAH, I FELL ASLEEP IN THE CAR ON THE WAY HERE.
>> James: YOU HAVE CAN TAKE A NAP AT ANY POINT.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>> James: AND WE WILL ALL FORGIVE YOU FOR SUCH A THING.
>> THE URGE IS STRONG.
>> James: TRULY, I GET IT.
I GET IT, IT IS BRUTAL.
>> BRUTAL.
BUT IT'S WORTH IT.
IT HAS BEEN AMAZING.
>> James: NOW DREW BARRYMORE WAS JUST OUT HERE.
AND I HEARD THAT ONE OF YOUR FAVORITE MOVIES WAS CLASSIC
MOVIE SCREAM, WHICH MUST HAVE BEEN A BIG DEAL FOR YOU WHEN YOU
WERE GROWING UP, RIGHT.
CAN I RATHER WHEN SCREAM CAME OUT.
>> IT WAS SO GOOD.
AND I AM A FAN OF ALL OF HER MOVIES BUT I REMEMBER WHEN THAT
MOVIE CAME OUT I WAS SORT OF THE ONLY KID IN MY FRIEND GROUP WHO
WAS ALLOWED TO SEE MOVIES LIKE THAT.
>> James: WERE YOU THAT KID.
>> THE WHOLE SCHOOL WAS LIKE WHAT HAPPENED, AND I SAW IT, I
THINK I SAW IT SIX TIMES IN THE THEATER JUST SO I COULD REALLY
REKOINT IT ACCURATELY TO EVERYBODY.
AND I REPLAYED EVERY SCENE.
I GOT REALLY INTO CHARACTER.
I WENT THROUGH THE WHOLE MOVIE TOP TO BOTTOM SO THAT EVERYBODY
COULD EXPERIENCE WHAT I EXPERIENCED.
AND.
>> James: I NEVER WATCHED THEM.
>> NEVER-- .
>> James: NEVER SEEN ANY SCREAMS WITHIN THE FIRST ONE IS
REALLY GOOD.
>> James: I HAVEN'T SEEN SCREAM, I HAVEN'T SEEN THE
MATRIX.
I HAVEN'T SEEN SOPRANOS.
I KNOW, I'M A JOKE.
>> WHAT WERE YOU DOING THIS WHOLE PANDEMIC.
>> James: SCREAM WAS HUGE, WHAT OTHER TYPICALLY '90S SORT
OF POP CULTURE WERE YOU INTO AS A KID.
>> I WAS INTO A LOT.
I WAS THE YOUNGEST OF FIVE KIDS.
YOUNGEST OF FIVE KIDS SO I HAD OLDER SIBLINGS SO I WAS REALLY
INTO FEELING LIKE I WAS OLDER AND I KNEW WHAT WAS COOL AND I
COULD TELL ALL THE OTHER KIDS WHAT WAS COOL.
SO I THINK I WAS ABOUT TEN YEARS OLD WHEN MADONNA'S EROTICA ALBUM
CAME OUT.
I TOLD EVERYONE ABOUT THAT, HOW COOL THAT WAS.
AND THAT WE SHOULD AS A GROUP, MY FRIENDS AND I WE SHOULD CALL
OURSELVES EROTICA.
>> James: AND HOW OLD ARE YOU.
>> THAT WAS A COOL YEAR, TEN YEARS OLD.
>> James: OKAY.
>> SO HE WENT AROUND EVERYBODY THAT WE WERE THE EROTICA GIRLS.
>> James: OKAY.
>> AND NOBODY EVER REALLY EXPLAINED TO ME THAT THAT WAS A
PROBLEM.
I THINK THEY JUST SILENTLY CRINGED INSIDE ON MY BEHALF.
>> James: IT IS A DIFFICULT ONE TO DO, WE HAVE A TEN YEAR
OLD, BECAUSE LIKE I CAN'T EXPLAIN TO YOU WHY THIS IS WRONG
WITHOUT EXPLAINING TO YOU WHAT IT IS AND I DON'T WANT TO DO
THAT RIGHT NOW.
>> JUST PARALYZING EVERY ADULT.
>> James: YEAH, YEAH.
I REMEMBER WHEN, EROTIC, PUT YOUR HANDS ALL OVER MY BODY.
THAT WAS THE ONE.
>> THAT WAS THE ONE.
>> James: THAT WAS THE ONE, WASN'T IT.
AND WE'RE BACK TO BANKING.
>> SORRY, EVERYBODY.
>> James: YOUR BIG BREAK IS WHEN YOU WERE JUST 14.
YOU WERE IN A SOAP OPERA, CALLED PASSIONS.
>> YEAH, YEAH.
>> James: AN AUDIBLE GAS MUCH FROM SISI.
>> NO WAY.
DID YOU LOVE PASSIONS.
>> I LOVED PASSIONS, OH MY GOD, IRON-- IRONICALLY OR-- .
>> James: A GREAT QUESTION.
YOU WERE 14 WHEN WERE YOU IN THE SHOW, WHAT WERE SOME OF YOUR
STORY LINES?
>> WELL, I MAINLY REMEMBER THAT OUR NEIGHBORS IN THE SHOW, OUR
NEIGHBOR WAS A WITCH AND SHE HAD A Z LITTLE BOY WHO WAS ALSO A
DOLL.
SORT OF A DOLL IN THE DAY WITHOUT WOULD BECOME A LITTLE
BOY AT NIGHT, SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
AND THEIR BASEMENT WAS HELL.
LITERALLY HELL SO YOU COULDN'T GO INTO THE BASEMENT BECAUSE IT
WAS THE FLAMES OF HELL.
DOES THAT SOUND-- .
>> James: IS THIS RIGHT.
>> THAT IS WHAT IT WAS, IT WAS SO BANANAS.
IT IT WAS LIKE, IT WAS THE GREATEST.
IT WAS JUST BONKERS.
IT WAS LIKE THEY JUST-- I DON'T KNOW IF THEY JUST THOUGHT NO ONE
WAS WATCHING AND WE ARE JUST GOING TO DO WHATEVER.
>> AND MY GREATEST STORY LINE WAS TOTALLY AVERAGE, GOING TO
HIGH SCHOOL, WEARING A BACKPACK AND THEN IT WOULD CUT TO HELL.
>> James: I THINK WE SHOULD BRING THIS BACK.
>> YEAH.
>> James: WITH A POSTER THAT JUST SAYS PASSIONS, IT'S
BANANAS.
CICI.
BUT THEN AFTER THAT SHOW YOU MOVED OUT HERE TO L.A. AND THERE
WAS A TIME WHEN YOU GOT IN L.A.
WHERE YOU WERE THE GO-TO ACTOR FOR A THING CALLED CHEMISTRY
READS, FOR ANYONE THAT DOESN'T KNOW, EXPLAIN WHAT THAT IS AND
WHAT THAT TIME WAS LIKE FOR YOU.
>> WELL, I MEAN I DON'T KNOW IF I WAS THE GO TO ACTOR BUT I DID
A LOT OF THEM FOR A LITTLE WHILE AND BASICALLY IT'S LIKE IF YOU
ARE AN ACTOR AND YOU ARE KIND OF, ARE YOU DOING OKAY BUT
YOU'RE STILL SORT OF AUDITIONING BUT YOU ARE WORKING YOUR WAY UP,
YOU MIGHT BE ASKED TO COME AND CHEMISTRY READ WITH A BIGGER
ACTOR WHO IS SARRING IN A FILM AND THEY WANT TO SEE DO YOU HAVE
CHEMISTRY WITH THIS ACTOR, WOULD YOU BE A GOOD PERSON TO PLAY
OPPOSITE THEM SO I DID THAT WITH SO MANY ACT ARES AND NEVER GOT A
PART THAT WAY.
>> James: LIKE WHO, CAN YOU REMEMBER WHO.
>> I MEAN BACK TO BACK, IT WAS MATT DAMON AND JUDE LAW AND
JOSEPH GORDON LEVITT, LITERALLY IN THE SPAN OF A FEW MONTHS.
>> IS THIS AFTER SCOTT PILGRIM.
>> RIGHT.
>> HERE IS ANOTHER POTENTIAL LEADING LADY ACTRESS, LET'S TRY
HER WITH ALL THESE GUYS AND I FAILED MISERABLY WITH EVERY ONE.
>> YOU DIDN'T GET ONE JOB.
>> THEY WERE ALL LOVELY BUT I WOULD NEVER, I WAS ALWAYS LIKE
NICE TRY BUT IT JUST DIDN'T CLICK.
>> James: BUT YOU DIDN'T NEED IT BECAUSE LOOK AT YOU, LET'S
TALK ABOUT THIS MOOSIVE-- MASSIVE FILM, KATE.
FOR ANYONE TELL US WHAT IT IS ABOUT AND WHO YOU PLAY.
>> ST A BRUTAL ASSASSIN THRILLER I GUESS YOU COULD CALL IT THAT I
PLAY AN ASSASSIN NAMED KATE ON A JOB IN TOKYO.
AND HE IS TRYING TO GET OUT OF THE BUSINESS AND IT WILL BE THE
LAST BIG JOB.
AND JUST AS IS HE ABOUT TO FINISH THE JOB SHE SORT OF
BOTCHES IT AND REALIZED SHE HAS BEEN IRREVERSIBLY POISONED AND
HAS 24 HOURS TO LIVE.
>> THE CLIB IS ONE OF THE AMAZING, BRUTAL ACTING SCEEBS IN
THE MOVIE AM HOW DO YOU MANAGE TO DO SCENES LIKE THIS
WITHOUT-- THERE IS SO MUCH FIELTING, WITHOUT GETTING
SERIOUSLY HURT.
>> THERE WAS WITHIN SCENE OF MYSELF ANG THIS AMAZING
PERFORMER WHO IS AN ACTOR, POP STAR, MUSICIAN WHO IS NOT A
STUNT PERSON, NEITHER AM I BUT AS THE ONLY ACTION SCENE IN THE
FILM WHERE I AM NOT FIGHTING A STUNT PERSON, I'M FIGHTING A
FELLOW ACTOR, THEY WERE PUTTING US BOTH IN THE RING AND HELPING
FOR THE BEST.
SHE DIDN'T REALLY HAVE TIME TO TRAIN.
JUST WAS KIND OF ON TOUR, JUST SHOWED UP AND WE WENT AT IT AND
WE BOTH WERE REALLY TRYING TO BE IN CHARACTER, TRYING TO GIVE IT
OUR ALL SO THERE WAS A MOMENT WHERE HE WAS SUPPOSED TO HEAD
BUTT ME AND WE ARE LOOKING AT EACH OTHER, SOMETHING BAD IS
ABOUT TO HAPPEN, I'M PREPPED TOR HIM TON THE BIG HEAD BUTT.
AND BOOM INTO MY HEAD.
I WENT FLYING BACK, LANDED ON THE GROUND SCREAMING,
EXPLETIVES.
JUST LIKE BUT IT WAS KIND OF AMAZING.
I GOT UP, YEAH!
>> DID YOU, IT WAS VERY FUNNY.
>> AND THEN IN TURN I SCRATCHED MY EYE, I AM HITTING HIM WITH A
WINE GLASS.
>> James: I WOULD FEEL EXACTLY THE SAME, SHOULD WE DO THE OTHER
FIGHT SCENE NOW?
YOU KNOW THE ONE WHERE I CLAW HIS FACE, CAN WE DO THAT?
THE ONE WHERE HE IS TIED UP AND A CLAW HIS FACE, LET'S DO THAT
ONE NOW.
>> HAVE I TO SAY, HE WAS VERY LOVELY AND APOLOGETIC.
AND WE DID WE BEAT EACH OTHER UP BUT AS SOON AS THEY SAID CUT
OKAY, I'M SO SORRY, ARE YOU OKAY.
>> James: THE FILM IS BRILLIANT AND YOU ARE FANTASTIC.
