this movie by the way is a I was based
on a true story a very interesting story
did you know about the story before what
is going No
I had no clue I mean it is an incredible
story right and and I know it was a
famous poker game in LA here in LA
everybody knew that there were certain
high profile actors that played this
game do you know who yeah I do know who
yeah I do know who and had it was a very
high stakes game and this woman Molly
organized the game well you play as the
character you play a real life character
no he's a little bit of an amalgamation
between aaron sorkin and what he thinks
about the whole thing
i said the criminal lawyer but my
character is fictitious and in the film
it's are really grateful i ain't gonna
say it because i'm in it but it's very
talking it's a great film because this
is his first time directing of god it's
the first time he's direct which is
amazing to me i only I had to check that
the major was right yeah and she's a
very strong character considering what
she goes through in this story you know
she's an Olympian skier that's where she
started her life right broke her back in
several places and then ended up in LA
as you do run in poker games I mean
she's she's kind of a genius at least
according in the movie I mean I don't
know her in real life but yeah it does
seem to be a brilliant character yeah
when you're doing a movie like this when
you're playing a lawyer you can't study
for that right you can't let go out and
sue people as research or anything like
that
no I just wear a lot of suits its we cuz
I so his Aaron Sorkin I went soaking
cause you up everybody knows he's
dialogue alright whew good man you know
these big films he sappy dialogue happy
dialogue you do not wing it okay you
memorize it you get on there you do your
thing and I stupidly trained to be a
kickboxer for a year part as part of a
documentary I was having a midlife
crisis oh yeah I was 44 years old I was
fighting this guy who was you know 10
years younger than me anyway long story
short is that the way that the schedules
met up is that literally the night of my
fight the next day I had to go fly to
Toronto and shoot ten days of scenes
with move Aaron Sorkin and Jessica
Chastain look this is a real fight
that's true
it was at the was at Bethnal Green York
Hall was a very famous boxing arena
it was part it was very real it's for
the Discovery Channel was a big big deal
did you tell the guy don't hit me in the
or kick me you know you know they do
like in a documentary they do these
little cams and you know that the actors
that the people are telling you what
they're gonna do prior to doing it I saw
his and he said he was Dutch he was like
I'm going to break his face I'm a boxer
I'm going to break him I watched I was
like oh no he was really serious I mean
it's really a long story showing all the
producers on the phone like did he win
he still fight it okay call me back
how's his face so you did win the fight
I did as if your life isn't great enough
already
I would never do that you're not beating
up the Dutch yeah it was he bummed after
the actor beat him up I mean I've never
spoke to him again oh you did I can't
even go to Holland you have his number
we could call him right now
what's not bad who's praised you get a
break now
[Laughter]
hey you know it's especially dangerous
when you fight a Dutchman because if
