From KCRW Santa Monica and KCRW.com, it's The Treatment.

Welcome to The Treatment. I'm Elvis Mitchell. I'm sitting across from a guy who's been kind of a repeater.

He's worked with a couple of directors twice, Nora Ephron, with You Got Mail and Julian Julia, and with Ben Affleck twice. He's work with

on Argo, and the new film where he plays the smarter and the meaner, the Bartolo Brothers of the

movie is the adaptation of Danzla Haynes, lived by night. First of us, Chris, thanks much for being here. Thanks for having me of us. You played with these guys and Dr. Danny on the Mindy Project.

These guys have a big appetite for life, don't they?

They do.

Yeah, they do.

I mean, that's fun about the gangster genre.

And this character in particular, it's he he loves, I keep saying that he, he represents the night and live by night.

He, you know, he will live this way, he will die this way.

He loves being a gangster.

What's the opening line of Goodfellas?

What is Rayleigh ought to say?

Something like my whole life.

I wanted to be a gangster.

I wanted to be a gangster.

Yeah.

That kind of kept running through my head as I prepared this and as I did it every day.

I watched, yeah, I watched, of course you watch that.

I watched Pesci and his fun and his love of being a gangster.

And I watched a Cagney a lot.
