The Hello everyone and welcome to the Tobolowski files a series of stories about

life love and the entertainment industry as told by actor Stephen Tobolowski.

My name is David Chen. I'm the editor at large at slash film.com and joining me today, he is the man who played Agent Barclay in the FX original series Justified Stephen Tobolowski. Stephen,, how you doing today, sir?

Very good, sir. Especially at the mention of Agent Barclay, one of several FBI agents I played.

For this, for this agent, I actually decided to do some research because I love the show

justified so much and the fellow who grew up down the street from me when I was a

little kid actually grew up to be an FBI agent. So I tracked him down and I asked him all sorts of

questions about what FBI agents really do. But there is a huge difference between

real FBI agents and TV FBI agents.

When you're a TV FBI agent, one of the most important things in your life is your

costume, is the suit.

That's what you do first.

And I got measured from my suit.

Everything looked beautiful.

I was extremely sharp looking.

But then on the set they add the gun.

And adding the gun completely changes the fit of a

European cut suit it kind of makes you look like you have a hernia a

hyedal hernia kind of high up when you're a kid you think it's going to be fun having a gun and a part but in reality for all you young actors out there.

It's not fun because when you sit down the gun presses into your side and makes part of your leg go numb.

Well I'm grateful that you're able to survive that ordeal unscathed Stephen.

Speaking of surviving ordeals unscathed, you have been doing so much traveling recently, haven't you?
