I think your character on the show is hilarious.

I love the show.

So I'm so happy to have you here.

And I learned that you started really early.

You started working when you were six years old.

Yeah, yeah, I was I was a young guy when I started.

That's young, yeah, six.

Young fellow.

Yeah, and I started, I was doing like little graduate films

with my dad.

And he started acting at 54.

So he changed careers entirely.

And so I'm a little six-year-old boy.

I can hardly read.

And he's like, want to read my audition--

[AW-ING]

There you are.

That's my first head shot.

Yeah.

Truly, yeah.

It's cute.

My dad took that.

But, yeah, so he would ask me to run lines with him.

And then I would start to get auditions.

And he would run lines with me, and start to--

he's kind of like my coach, as if it was athletics.

But I wasn't very athletic.

So he was like, go get them, son,

but send me into an audition room.

And, yeah.

There was one audition I had where--

I was 11 at this point.

And so I'd been a real pro.

And so it was a callback for a movie.

It was a Showtime TV movie.

And it was the co-lead of this movie called Walter and Henry.

It was for the part of Henry.

And I skipped school that day.

And my dad and I worked on the lines

and we got really into it.

We made all these choices for the material and stuff.

And so I go into the room.

My dad's going to wait in the waiting room.

He's outside.

And then I come out of the room.

I see my dad's there.

He sort of gives me a nod.

We don't talk.

We go to the elevator.

There's other kids around who are still up for the job.

So we don't talk.

We go down the elevator.

We go outside.

It's in New York City.

And he looks at me.

It's swirling outside.

It's loud, whatever.

And I'm buzzing.

And he goes, so how'd it go?

And I put my hands up like this.

And he puts his hands down like this.

I go, I [BLEEPED] nailed it, Daddy!

I slapped his--

I'm sorry for cursing.

That's all right.

But it helps the story so much.

And it's true.

Yeah, it's true.

I really did swear, you know?

And we just danced around the streets, you know.

Did you get it?

And I got it, yeah.

Good, well that's--

[APPLAUSE]

I don't know, if you haven't watched Succession,

this is the second season now.

Explain what it's about to everyone.

Succession is about the Roy family,

who is a billionaire family.

They own movie studios, and newspapers, and the world,

you know.

They're just hugely influential.

And and at the beginning of the show, in season one,

first episode is the father, the patriarch

of the family, Logan Roy, is turning 80.

And he's going to give the company to one of his children.

So the show continues to kind of be

about that, a man who's not willing to give it up,

and kids who are ready to take it from him.

It must be so fun to play that character.

But you get yelled at every week.

I mean, every week they just tear you apart.

Yeah, they do.

'Cause they act like you're an idiot.

And it's just-- and there's theories

that in the next season, that you're actually

going to be-- be careful now.

Sorry.

There's theories that, in the next season, that you actually

could inherit everything and take over.

Do you-- what do you think about that?

It could happen.

I have no idea.

I just love the show.

And I love you so much.

And--

I'm so glad you like it.

Yeah, it's fantastic.

And I just-- you can come over and just

hang out whenever you want.

You just--

Here?

Yeah.

Yeah?

Yeah.

I would love to.

Yeah just I'm allergic to cats, though.

Oh, that one was not real.

It was just a man in a suit.

OK.

'Cause I was getting a little sneezy

when that guy walked past me.

No, that wasn't real.

OK, Yeah.

Succession airs Sundays at 9:00 on HBO.

We'll be right back.
