all right well welcome back i'm being thrilled and honored to be here love actors and this is what i do and tonight i have a very special guest this is a man who i define an actor's actor peter green yeah we connected good right peter you had me back now yeah back and i was like oh man i was a little nervous because last time i remember that i was very nervous and last night i was a little bit with my butterflies in my stomach and i said got to going to do a started bonding behind the scenes a little bit talking about your mother me talking about my debts passing and what it means to us right to have that love is a sacred thing  love it it doesn't dissipate it doesn't go away that's why i believe everything you said but honestly yes when you said that he was there and talking to you and i want the same thing because i my mind my mother and my father big lesson for me is when you understand what life is all about we think is about love and you know it's about love about fame if you can get a great if you can get money along the way that's fine but life is about doing things right  peter and the older i get i want to spend more time with them and i don't worry anymore that i didn't spend a lot of time with the want to you know what i mean but i don't have that sound i mean i wanted to was right all we need is love absolutely i mean i mean right down to it that's all there is right right took me a long time to realize that that's all that all simple things  absolutely connect then we had i had a conversation with i have a friend of mine i have a lot of actors were talking about what i experienced when i went to the actor's studio to see this work with michael allen over and gave foss your firstborn i'm sure the pictures and the whole cast was great at the actors studio i like to see work that inspires me but i was talking with another friend of mine who is chris kirsten i think you know and maybe you you can remember his name but he knows you very well from the lab and he sa love this guy and he's such a big you know he's such a big inspiration for so many of us there so committed they're the actors studio yes years ago i wanted to attempt to be accepted there and whatever i would grab whatever but usually i would grab a book i'll give you example i grabbed a book on stories from soldiers in vietnam excuse me and then i took a little bit from here took a little bit from there took a you're as good as your best work so whatever your best work is you can you know i took that to heart you're as good as your best work because you were humans we fail we were right and made more than anybody left and right you know l leave their love behind  right right this is and people that i know along the way and people from the i just to deal i think it's important to support one another because all of us we are trying to do our best and this is a tough city in this is a tough plays the much i want to cover and i know that we have a limited time and time goes really fast but when you see actors on screen peter what what kind of turns you on in terms of like the fire in the inside what devil after he dies and then he played the repressed story and then you'll see a guy just immersed in a character i've never seen that since you know there are great actors out there but i've never been watching a guy that i know is didn't see st of all they told me i couldn't be an actor for three to four years so you know that was you know it's not good i mean you know i didn't i thought i didn't think it would take that long right you know i mean so and  wanted to do things that i would never get cast for you know usually i play around and it just wasn't my thing coffeecup sitting there for hours and crying over and sense about it but like i said god bless them it just wasn't for me and that's what's so you're not meant are you do you have is what ll the crap that comes along with it and all the bullshit to find the one something signed and you can actually go and do it you know and then you sort of make it you know you make it your own and hopefully you're working with people and i' who who we could throw away the script and improv and get there and create yeah and i've been you know i the all i could i won't mention names but only a few of them have been like don't you didn't say the lines work you know sort of like those you know right now i've been lucky talk about michael right that's while you are an actor's actor people in the business whoever is into acting they know peter green is number one number two people respect your skill you know  that's really nice to hear it really is actors do you know that's why i was curious about how you come across with your work because you profound you deep in your choices are pretty bold like i wa the one that you did the you cutting yourself what do you call it could have been oh i was like oh it's so hard to watch we should think i wish i could do another movie like clinton and he was so hard to me that was that was that was when you were talking about like coming from the inside that was such a beautiful story in my opinion i mean i guess a lot of people not many people saw the movie but people who would think would mean a beautiful story but to me it was because it was about a guy who was just gotten out of a mental institution he was severely severely mentally handicapped and the only thing that kept him was a lot the only thing that kept him from suicide was the thought of being with his daughter you know and that's what kept him alive so that was that i was by far i got to do that movie so if i died tomorrow i got to do that when we were you know it meant a lot to me to  to to to try to relay that you know you know how my mother and my brother and my sister and my friends feel what the guy was going through you know not just the cutting because he had a legitimate reason for that you know me that that is trying to do lead an honest and good life i mean especially in the last ten years you know my my my mother told me when i was a kid that that about trust and and don't don't trust someone because i'm a shortness because they think they love you when they respect you this look at that person and do you think that person you feel that that person can look at themselves in the mirror in the morning do you understand i mean yes not about how much they think about you what they think about themselves so you know sometimes it's hard to look in the mirror sometimes yeah and i hate it even th there's so much work like i said i even wrote if you see the biggest challenge for me is when i sit down here and i bring in i check my work in the family last are enough i hope i'm relaxed enough this is a challenge to be on the camera like this when you're doing your movies makes a big like the mask or mention like those big names that was the ones that i was for that was fun to do yeah that was fun that was fun lot of work with the makeup but that was fun six you like they wish you couldn't you couldn't tell it was it looked like it would be made which made it so much easier to play the thing because you it was so the special effects people in that film masterful masterful ok because i didn't want to do that and you don't want to do it i was so excited when they asked me to do that i was so excited you know because i'd seen reservoir dogs show and then i saw the part and i was like wow that's the likes it what you're doing he's behind the camera going right this very supportive but he's honest because i came on board and really it was a hard there was a hard yeah it's good to his word so we improvised it and it's a powerful powerful scene maybe that scene is like probably didn't really even need to be in there but you know no no no every time when you're in front of camera you're making the statement night it's affected me but losing yourself completely and immersing yourself in something i'm sure there's people out there who do that i mean i've i felt things absolutely yeah i felt things that are going on and scenes but to completely lose yourself you know i don't think i've ever completely well there's been a couple times in clean shaven where it was you know you know i never really thought of it like that yeah like that one where you know it is you know working with ben stiller even it was can do something different there were a couple of moments where you got lost in the right in the play because again we improvised wonderful work taking place in new york incredible that an actor a member of the studio ok i mean there are so many many horrible yeah and so many and they're not getting they're just doing this and they're not but you know and i tell you this much ok you have to go to the studio you promised me john michael bolton and he's my man my you know john john i love you i don't talk to you every single day and i know you're going to be watching this interview when we post it and we air it i just want to say on the record the john michael wants i love you know hearing about that i hope you are not making faces she just say that because she was so good to look cute i love you john ok like i love many adding to that i know but yes he's one of my boys shawn i met him years and years ago with survived to see his st film grasslands i truly believe peter and i don't know if i'm out of my mind but i truly believe that they can see spend three weeks in the woods a run of spending about close to five years with my dog and and and most has been my friend for twenty some odd years my good friend and i sort of like to get back into things again and come on you know yeah interesting woman you know you can't you to for drop dead gorgeous was the most beautiful woman you ever seen peter you know in real life in real life yeah these are your mother i was about to say my she taught me so many things about the world she really did about good wine and cheeses and good film and books she really did she did she brought culture to my she was the love of your life yeah have to say that yeah yeah to name as an actress i don't know if that really counts doesn't really count mean she would probably not like that but you know the love of my life was definitely her yeah was definitely elizabeth yeah absolutely then get a better beautiful green eyes very smart very i can understand no i think you know i am i have more can help face in people lately than i than i that i've had a while because i think people are waking up but maybe they're waking up too slowly because we still see whether or not coffee man wake up a smell the coffee and become a law connect with some sort of higher power man something whatever you call god because there is some grand design in my opinion ok i don't know if there's a god this or that but there's something there's something out there but it's all about money fame and how much money and all that crap school is what makes you happy peter maybe what makes you happy what makes you happy makes me my dear friend and he's a great kid in he's such a wonderful solem he says i'm a target for he loves cutting in editing and and i mentioned it to him i said i want to do something on peter i want to do a documentary i want to get something that would just go to central park and i would go to hell's kitchen and then we just get in the subway is go to brooklyn bridge to my house come to my folks house in jersey it's thirty minutes so it's time please him bring the cameras and just do something beautiful for you because there's a lot of actors out there who loves you very much peter do you realize that what you did you create and this is not i'm not trying to kiss your ass i'm not trying to say no i'm not political correct  do it now this is one of those things and in the why didn't the other things came along but i mean i like the few times that penny took me there to see a couple of things you know he said really is in there much different than walking through like lee strasberg or or any of these other places you felt reverence there was a spirituality in there yeah yeah yeah yeah honestly honestly you could feel it like it maybe it's on some shock or a point on the earth or something maybe that building sits right there because the energy that emanates out of there it's amazing i mean it's in and out yeah it's amazing yeah yeah i missed it by that didn't you know i thought we have a minute to go this is so unfair gloria i love you we went through a half hour we already went through forty minutes really yeah wow if i told you this is you know your friend michael writes right yeah ok tell michael can we get together one to tell him that he was in my taxi years ago after he did the five heartbeats and i told him how wonderful i thought the movie was he was in the back with a couple of friends and i drove him in my taxi yeah he is that was a long time ago the five heartbeat and a student members and nonmembers actors were devoted to the craft and there's a lot of people that i know over the years in new york work its course it did do a wonderful work it's about supporting the work of supporting the actors and you are all the actors and t
