Matt: Big Show, that I wanted to have a cage match with him. He's like “we can wrestle, but cage match, you don't want that.” He's like “I wouldn't put that in- put my body through that again.” Tim: Imagine- Matt: My God, his hand- Tim: You saying- you saying we can have a cage match, cut- Matt: His hand weighs more than I do. Tim: Cut to- cut to him- Matt: His hand is this big. Tim: Cut to him holding you up and just kind of slamming you back and it'll be like- Matt: AHHH! AHHH! Seriously like a rag doll. Like a rag doll.

Here's a good one. Tim: What? Matt: Um, how big is your gun? Tim: Well, that's pretty personal. [inaudible.] Matt: I can vouch for it. I don't like guns, but I can vouch for it, it's pretty big.

Matt: Is that- is that on? Oh, okay. Tim: We're on. Welcome. Matt: Hello. Welcome to the White Collar webcast. Tim: Thanks for coming. Matt: Thanks for being here, we are here to answer a few of your questions about the show. My name's Matt Bomer. Tim: I'm- Matt: I play Neal Caffrey. Tim: Yes, he does, he plays Neal Caffrey, I'm Tim DeKay and I play Peter Burke. Matt: And, uh, we're really thankful that you guys tuned in to the first season, the finale of which airs next week, Tuesday night at ten PM. And we're glad you're here today. So we're gonna get straight to your questions, interview style. Tim: Very good. Matt: I'm gonna ask Tim- Tim: And then I'll ask you. Matt: Yes. Tim: That's the way we roll. Matt: That's how we do. Tim: Okay. I'm ready, buddy. Matt: You gonna go first? Tim: Yeah, let me ask you first. Matt: Okay. Tim: All right. Uh, Kristin G. from St. Mary’s, Ohio says- Matt: Hello, Kristin. Tim: She's a good egg. 'It takes a special bond to make an excellent on screen team. What do you think makes Peter Burke and Neal Caffrey the smoothest team on television?' Matt: We're not smooth. Tim: I don't- Matt: We’re not smooth. Tim: We're not smooth. Matt: Are we smooth? Tim: I, well- Some- Matt: Sometimes. Tim: You're pretty smooth. Matt: No. We're jagg[ed]- we’re- [Hand motion.] Tim: We're rough around the edges a bit. Matt: Yeah, yeah. No, um. Tim: Which kind of makes us smooth. Matt: Yeah. Tim: Yeah. What makes us the smoothest-? Matt: I don't... I think I can say for myself it's the fact that I really like the guy I get to work with, that helps a lot and- Tim: Me too. Matt: -he's an amazing actor and pretty much anything I throw at you, you say yes to. Tim: Yes, I do. Matt: Which helps. Tim: Yes. Matt: He's dug me out of a lot of... holes. Tim: Well, likewise. Likewise. We save each other. Matt: And, um, I think we just try to have fun, right? Isn't that what we- Tim: No. Matt: No, we don't. We never laugh. Tim: No. Matt: We don't. Tim: That's a stupid answer. Matt: Yeah, that's bad, that’s bad, I'm sorry, let's go to yours. Tim, this is from Luminosity. Tim: Yeah. Matt: In Chandler, Arizona. Hello, Luminosity. 'As an ex-cop-' Tim: Yep, yep. Matt: Luminosity, the ex-cop. 'I am often critical of the portrayal of law enforcement officers. You do a great job of making Peter professional, yet human.' I agree with that. Tim: Oh, thanks. Matt: 'How did you prepare for your role as an FBI agent?' Tim: Uh, well, uh, Luminosity? Matt: Yeah. Tim: Luminosity, I got to, uh, kind of tool around with an ex-FBI agent. And he kind of showed me the ropes and told me what it was like. But I also think that combining the whole professional FBI attitude with a strong sense of- [crashing noises] humanity is the fact that we've got a crew banging around back stage. Matt: Don't mind somebody just fell about twelve feet, it's fine. Tim: I'm sure he's fine. Matt: He's fine, he's fine. Tim: Uh... Matt: Go ahead, this is- this is more important. This is more important. Tim: This is much more important. Oh, you can hear cries of pain. Matt: Yep, that's all right. Ignore it. Tim: We're rolling. Uh, more importantly, um, I don't know, it's the writing! They write, you know, fortunately you get to go to this guy's home. You know, Peter Burke's home. And not often do you get that on a- Matt: That's true. Tim: from a, uh- Matt: You get to see a lot of the personal life as well. Tim: You get to see… you haven't seen Peter bathe yet. Matt: Well you got to save- I mean that's magic right there, you got to save some of that kind of magic for subsequent seasons. Tim: That's not magic. Yes, yes. Uh, but maybe- maybe we'll start with bathing Satchmo. Matt: Yeah. Tim: And then kind of work our way, Matt: I like that. Tim: 'Cause suds is sexy. Matt: Yep. Tim: Yes. All right, Matt, uh, Adrian C. from Vancouver, Canada! Go Canadians, eh? Matt: Vancouver! We love Vancouver. Tim: Yeah, we were just there. Matt: We were. Tim: Uh. Matt: Good folks. Vancouverites. Tim: I'm not going to ask this question. Uh, what- nope. Matt: No, you're not going to ask it? Tim: No, I'm not gonna ‘cause it sounds like I wanna- here, I swear to you, Adrian said this. Matt: I'll give you a boldfaced compliment right to your face, I'm not scared. Tim: 'What was your first impression of Tim?' His fly was open for one. Matt: Once I got over the smell- Tim: Yeah. Matt: -it was really easy going from there on out, it was all down hill. No, my first impression of Tim. We- he came in and we did a chemistry read together and we had an absolute blast. Tim: We had a hoot. Matt: And we improved a lot together and it was just- I could tell he was a really good actor who listened and- and- and- and brought a lot of work to the character and- and- what I brought to my character, I felt like complemented what he brought to his character- Tim: Much more. Much more. And I was nervous when the first time we read. Matt: You were nervous? Tim: Oh, I was nervous, because, well, you came- we had actually met in the waiting room. Matt: Mmm-hmm. Tim: And you had said something about Tell Me You Love Me. And I thought ooooh man, this guy- And you didn't- did you have your script with you? Matt: No. No. Tim: You didn't. So Matt was off book, so he didn't have the script. And I had the script which, you know- he- he had a huge leg up, but, uh, he was very welcoming and, um, I knew right away we kind of had something there. I did. Matt: It was just fun. I- he- I could tell he was a fun, gracious, um... good guy to work with. Tim: Yeah. Matt: Tim has this amazing um... Midwestern sensibility to him. It's like..
