Welcome, welcome, welcome to Armchair Expert.
I'm Dan Shepard and I'm joined by Ms.
Monica Law.
Hi.
What's that?
If your name was Monica Law and you were like a.
You were like a DA and town, I would have.
If that was my last name, I would have no choice but to go into either law enforcement or prosecution.
Yes.
Or Supreme Court.
Or Supreme Court or physics.
There's a lot of laws.
Oh, sure, sure.
Jude Law, though, is not a failure despite not going into jurisprudence.
I just want to make that very clear.
He is a Tony and Academy Award nominated actor, the talented Mr.
Ripley, the holiday Sherlock Holmes, Fantastic Beasts, Cold Mountain, and a movie that he is truly, from the bottom of my heart, spectacular.
In Chameleon.
