ONE OF YOUR BREAK THROUGH ROLES WAS THE BRILLIANT MOVIE SELMA,
AND YOU SCREENED THE MOVIE.
YOU HAD A SCREENING FOR THAT FILM WITH THE OBMAS AT THE
WHITE HOUSE.
BUT YOU ALMOST MISSED THIS INCREDIBLE DAY.

>> James: AS OPPOSED TO THE MYRIAD OF LIES YOU HAVE SPUN
TONIGHT.
>> YEAH, YEAH.
OKAY.
SO I AM SITTING AT HOME, I GET THIS EMAIL, THE SUBJECT MATTER
IS THE WHITE HOUSE.
SO I OPEN IT AND IT SAYS BARACK AND MICHELLE OBAMA WOULD LIKE TO
INVITE TO YOU A SPECIAL SCREENING OF SELMA.
AND THE ONLY THING YOU NEED TO DO TO ATTEND IS SEND A PICTURE
OF YOUR PASSPORT, YOUR NAME, DATE OF BIRTH, YOUR SOCIAL
SECURITY.
SO I WAS LOOKING AT THIS LINING LIKE MY SOCIAL SECURITY, LIKE
PRETTY PRETTY SHIFTY.
SO I SENT IT TO MY JUNK, I DIDN'T BELIEVE IT TWO DAYS LATER
I GET A CALL FROM MY AGENT.
HEY, STEPHAN DID YOU GET A CALL OR AN EMAIL FROM THE WHITE
HOUSE.
AND I SAID YEAH, YEAH, I DID HE IS LIKE THAT IS TOTALLY REAL AND
YOU NEED TO REPLY RIGHT NOW IF YOU WANT TO BE A PART OF IT.
