me, "do I know you?"
I say, "Yeah, it was that bar
in Waco, remember?"
They go, "oh."
And they sort of walk away.
[upbeat music]
No, no one knows my name.
"Yeah, Jay, it's him, it's him."
They know they know me, but
they don't know from.
"We go to college?
Did you live--do you live in
Seattle?"
I remember I was in Hawaii,
and somebody said, "do you
live in Seattle?"
I said, "well, I've spent time
in Seattle."
I'm that guy.
As my fans apparently tell me.
"Oh, mom, that guy's on again.
That's--it's that guy."
"You know that guy.
You know, that guy.
You know that guy who was in
the other movie.
He was in that TV show.
That guy."
George Clooney, the big movie
star that he is, I can live
with that.
But if I can have a career like
Tom Wilkinson who does great,
great supporting roles like
every time out, I could--
years old and I ran downstairs,
and I went into my dad's office
where he was working away.
And I said, "dad, I know what
I want to do."
And he said, "what?"
I said, "I want to be a movie
actor."
And he laughed and just said,
"well, son, you know, that's
a--that's a pretty tough life."
I have an uncle who was an
actor, Henry Gibson, who I grew
up watching on television on
"laugh-in."
So it didn't seem like that
impossible to me.
a lot of films with my dad,
watched a lot of the, you know,
the early "bond" films,
"Spartacus,"
all of John Wayne's.
I'm a little kid.
Every time I go to the movies,
I get my popcorn, and I get
my M&M's and I dump the M&M's
in the popcorn and shake 'em up.
[laughs]
And I'm, you know, sitting
there alone in the dark,
you know, or I'm hanging out
with somebody, and it's like
magic is about to happen.
And I still get excited
about it.
There's all these pictures
I was, like, three.
wanted toys.
I just wanted costumes.
When I was a-a youngster,
I had a little 45 record
"David and Goliath."
And if I ever was in a
position where I had to go to
bed and there was company,
doing "David and Goliath."
And I'd stay up for hours.
[as Claude Rains]
"This is the story of
'David and Goliath, ' the young
Shepherd boy and the giant."
And, you know, the adults would
all fall down because it's
coming out of a kid.
It's--you know, it's just
something I could do and then
I didn't have to go to bed.
In the third grade, there--
a play.
She was in the fourth grade,
and she got to play the king.
And the king got to eat cream
puffs.
And I'm not being facetious.
It made such an indelible
imprint on me, that this would
be really cool.
Everybody looks at you, and they
give you cream puffs.
And then it should be this
great thing when you arrive.
You know, it's like this idea
of, you know, Hollywood heaven
that you'd go into.
It's just fucking not there.
I just knew there was
nothing else that made any sense
to me.
I don't feel I made a choice.
It was--it was--I mean, I made
to based on that, and I made a
choice of how to go about it,
but I didn't--I didn't make a
