The Moment With Brian Koppelman

James Le Gros, the longtime actor known for his roles in movies such as Drugstore Cowboy and Living in Obilvion joins us this week to talk about the freedom of not knowing what's next and why it's important, even after being credited on over 100 TV shows and films, that he still gets nervous. The two also share some of their best stories, including Brian's first meeting with Pat Riley and the night James attended a dinner party with Werner Herzog. Plus, we run James' name through the 'Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon' generator, discuss why bitterness is the enemy as an artist, and why it's important to never face the facts.   Topics this week:  Drugstore Cowboy Living in Oblivion Justified Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon The People vs. Larry Flynt One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest Amadeus Citizen Kane The Seventh Seal Diner The Last Winter Harold and Maude WNYC's Here's the Thing with Julianne Moore Barry Lyndon Leather Jackets The Winter of Frankie Machine a novel by Don Winslow She Needed Me a novel by Walter Kirn Blo
