Yeah, this is for the HBO series based on Harry Potter.

Have you finished shooting the first series?

You know, I have to ask, at age 80, you know, I'm not 80, but I'm older.

I'm an older person now, and my short-term memory isn't what it used to be.

And I am just amazed that you, I mean, you're in practically every scene of this play on Broadway.

You're doing eight shows a week.

Is it hard to remember, to learn lines, that many lines?

Yeah, yeah.

Well, you got plenty left in you.

You better because this HBO production is going to last how many years?

Well, John Lithgow, it's been fun.

Thank you so much for spending some time with us.

John Lithgow stars as writer Roald Dahl in the new Broadway play Giant.
