manafort has been indicted. now there's talk that manafort didn't get it. when the fbi showed up at his door he handed out candy. who are you supposed to be, and who are you supposed to be? >> on "cbs this morning." >> halloween candy is a sore subject for me. they call it fun size. but look at this. when you're my size, this isn't fun. >> announcer: this morning's "eye opener" is presented by toyota. let's go places. welcome to "cbs this morning." former trump campaign chairman paul manafort and his associate, rick gates, are the first to face charges in the russia election probe and there may be others soon. both men pleaded not guilty yesterday to a dozen charges. they include conspiracy against the united states, money laundering, and tax fraud. >> we also learned yesterday that george papadopoulos, a foreign policy advisor to the trump campaign, pleaded guilty to other charges. he admits he lied to the fbi about his contacts with russian interests. the 30-year-old had no prior criminal record. >> papadopoulos was arrested july 27th at washington dulles international airport. his case was under seal for the last three months while special counsel robert mueller investigated possible trump campaign links to russia. the government calls papadopoulos, quote, a proactive cooperator. jeff pegues is in washington with a look at what that means and where this investigation is heading. jeff, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. that term indicates that george papadopoulos may be actively working with the special counsel's office to reveal who in the trump campaign knew that he was communicating with russian operatives and when. papadopoulos' arrest and guilty plea was a bombshell yesterday, showing that he too was offered damaging information on hillary clinton by russian operatives. >> so help me god. >> reporter: two days after president trump's inauguration, george papadopoulos was in israel and appeared to still be acting on behalf of the campaign. >> a new relationship between the united states and all of israel. >> reporter: according to court documents, less than a year earlier, papadopoulos began e-mailing trump campaign officials and pushing meetings with russian operatives. at a national security meeting on march 31, 2016, papadopoulos told mr. trump that he had connections that could help arrange a meeting between then candidate trump and president putin. ten days earlier, mr. trump introduced his newly minted foreign policy team to editors from "the washington post." >> george papadopoulos. he's an oil and energy consultant, excellent guy. >> reporter: but on monday night, mr. trump's lawyer told cbs news that the president definitely doesn't have a clue who george papadopoulos is. papadopoulos' communication with the russian operatives began when the main contact, nicknamed the professor, told him in april of 2016 that he had dirt on then candidate hillary clinton, including thousands of e-mails. that occurred well before the democratic national committee made the intrusion by russian hackers public. in may, 2016, papadopoulos e-mailed a high-ranking campaign official. russia has been eager to meet mr. trump. that e-mail was forwarded with this commentary. donald trump is not doing these trips. it should be someone low level in the campaign so as not to send any signal. in august, after mr. trump accepted the republican nomination for president, a campaign supervisor encouraged papadopoulos to make the trip to russia if it is feasible. another former trump foreign policy advisor, carter page, did make a trip to russia, where he gave a speech in july of 2016. page was asked last night whether he had exchanged e-mails with papadopoulos. >> probably a few, yeah. >> were you in e-mail chains with him about russia? >> it may have come up from time to time. >> reporter: carter page and several other trump campaign officials have been under fbi scrutiny for more than a year now. papadopoulos is facing up to five years in prison, but he won't be sentenced until the mueller investigation is over. >> all right, jeff, thank you so much. the indictment against paul manafort and rick gates claims they set up a money laundering scheme that hid tense of millions of dollars from a pro-russian political party. the two men funneled more than $75 million through foreign banks. manafort used his hidden overseas wealth to enjoy a lavish lifestyle. he's accused of spending more than $6 million on renovations and landscaping for this home on new york's long island in the hamptons. the indictment said manafort also spent nearly a million dollars at a virginia rug store and millions more on clothing, antiques and luxury cars. first indictments in the russia investigation put the white house on the defensive. president trump wanted to focus on his tax overhaul this week before he goes on a trip to asia. margaret brennan is at the white house. >> reporter: good morning. they expect the investigation to wrap up soon and say it's business as usual. the president's lawyer insists the president is not considering firing robert mueller. the president and first lady handed out candy on the south lawn, after white house officials said they weren't at all spooked by the bombshell indictments on monday. >> we're not worried about it distracting because it doesn't have anything to do with us. >> reporter: chief of staff john kelly tried to distance the president from the unfolding controversy. >> all of the activities as i understand it that they were indicted for was long before they met donald trump. >> reporter: but he told fox news that he and the president discuss the probe multiple times a day. >> it's very distracting to the president, as it would be to any citizen, to be investigated. >> reporter: while reports swirled that the president was fuming monday as the russia indictments played out on tv, a senior republican told "the washington post" everyone is freaking out. but white house lawyer ty cobb pushed back, telling cbs news, i don't know where the perception of agita comes from, but it's not real, and the walls are not caving in. >> reporter: paul manafort has done an amazing job. the president claimed any actions by paul manafort predated the election, tweeting, sorry, but this is years ago before paul manafort was part of the trump campaign. but the indictment contradicted that claim. details of manafort's criminal activities range from 2006 to february of this year, and he's accused of laundering money during the campaign. >> he was a volunteer. >> reporter: white house press secretary sarah sanders also insisted george papadopoulos, who pled guilty to lying to federal agents, attempted to arrange meetings with russian officials on his own accord. >> the actions that he took would have been on his own. >> reporter: of course that papadopoulos plea agreement that was made public yesterday revealed that he actually was encouraged by a trump campaign advisor to pursue that contact with the russians. charlie, the president has not commented on those charges. >> margaret, thanks. paula reid is at the federal district court in washington where paul manafort and rick gates appeared yesterday. paula, good morning. let me start with this. what's the significance with the charges against manafort and especially papadopoulos? >> reporter: this is incredibly significant. while the white house can certainly try to distance themselves from paul manafort's business dealings or his luxurious lifestyle, here you have a campaign aide who has evidence that there were efforts to set up meetings between russia and the trump campaign and also has some evidence suggesting that the trump campaign knew that the russians were in possession of some of hillary clinton's e-mails. as witnesses also cooperating, it completely changes the narrative of what this investigation is about. >> what does the indictment send? what message does it send not only to the trump administration but across the legal board? >> reporter: well, let's look at the choreography yesterday. this news leaked out over the course of the weekend. you had several days for anticipation to build. there were cameras lining the sidewalks as manafort went to turn himself in. the special counsel took an unusual step of issuing a press release with the indictment. and just as we were through digesting all the details in that indictment, we have this bombshell out of chicago that not only does mueller have another set of charges, he has a cooperating witness with evidence that, again, points to this question of conspiracy or collusion. >> to that very point, paula, he was arrested, papadopoulos, about three months ago and in these additional court filings last night he is called a proactive cooperator. what might that mean? >> reporter: some people have suggested that could mean he wore a wire or has been already cooperating and trying to gain evidence. at this point my sources cannot establish or prove that question. but going forward, it means he's going to be a problem for the trump white house. >> all right. thank you very much, paula. a leading democratic party lobbyist is under scrutiny after his firm was linked to paul manafort's indictment. tony podesta resigned from the podesta group yesterday. he is the brother of john podesta, the chairman of hillary clinton's campaign. the podesta group lobbied for a pro-russian ukrainian group with tied to manafort. manafort asked two unnamed companies to lobby on behalf of russian interests in ukraine. the podesta group did not confirm it was one of those companies. the firm says it has fully cooperated with the special counsel's office and taken every possible step to provide documentation that confirms compliance with the law. tech giants will tell congress today about the extent of russian efforts to influence last year's election through social media. facebook is expected to tell them about a russia group called the internet research agency that posted more than 80,000 times on facebook before and after the election. those posts may have reached as many as 126 million users. twitter plans to tell the committee it closed more than 2700 accounts linked to the same group of russian operatives. investigators in niger are working to find the organizers of an attack that killed four american soldiers. debora patta is at niger's capital. one issue is where the army unit was operating in a region beyond the unit's control. debora, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. we spoke to a nigerien soldier who claims he personally knew the four americans that were killed and they trained him in terrorism tactics. he recalls cracking military jokes with them despite the language barrier. now, he believes the ambushed troops were deliberately delayed in the village of tongo tongo. the government has absolutely no control there and is investigating the suspicion that some of the villagers might have been complicit in this attack. this is one of the most remote and chaotic war zones in the world. there are more than a dozen extremist groups operating between the border between mali and niger. this particular attack was coordinated by isis and led by abu walid al american troops would have gotten attention and that begs the question why they went in with very little backup. >> thank you. backlash is growing over kevin spacey's response to a sexual misconduct allegation. the international academy of television arts and sciences is revoking spacey's 2017 international emmy founders award and a growing number of celebrities and organizations are now condemning him. actor anthony rapp says that he was 14 when spacey made unwanted sexual advances toward him. spacey apologized to rapp and in the same statement came out as g gay. >> amid the scandal netflix announced that "house of cards" starring kevin spacey will end after the sixth season which is in production right now. but sources say the decision was made months ago. in a joint statement netflix and the series producer say they are deeply troubled by the allegations against their lead actor. >> i will not yield! >> "house of cards" star kevin spacey is facing harsh criticism from hollywood and the gay community over his apology to anthony rapp. rapp, a broadway veteran now featured in "star trek discovery" told buzzfeed news thaerms spacey picking him up, putting him on the bed and laying down on top of him. it allegedly happened after a new york party more than 30 years ago when rapp was just 14. spacey says he doesn't remember the incident but apologized for any inappropriate drunken behavior. he then revealed he is gay. daniel reynolds, a senior editor at "the advocate." >> kevin spacey took what should be a proud and joyous moment, which is an actor coming out, and conflated it with something like sexual assault. this doesn't help the conversation. >> rapp's accusation comes amid a wave of harassment claims against nbc's mark hal republican, james toback and movie mogul harvey weinstein. weinstein resigned from the producers guild of america which on monday banned him for life. spacey's apology was scrutinized by wanda sykes, rosie o'donnell, george takei and zachary quinto. he called it a calculated manipulation to deflect attention from a very serious accusation. >> in a way i feel like people think that's another silencing of the victim. >> the president of glaad, a gay rights organization, also condemned spacey's statement saying this is not a coming out story but a story of survivorship by anthony rapp and all those who speak out against sexual advances. >> all right, thank you so much. there are new questions about two women who say they were stranded on a sailboat for months in the pacific ocean. individual so shows the dramatic moment when they were rescued last week. the coast guard had an emergency beacon onboard but never turned it on. vladimir duthiers is here with the details this morning that don't seem to add up. >> good morning. the boaters say they were on a journey from hawaii to tahiti when they began suffering one problem after another. now the details of their story are raising questions. jennifer appel and tasha fuiava were overwhelmed with joy when the u.s. navy saved them last week. they say they had been floating helplessly in the ocean for months, desperate to be rescued. >> we had tears going down our eyes. we were like okay, they see us, they see us. >> but the sailors are under new scrutiny as the investigation is turning up unusual details. the u.s. coast guard says the pair had an emergency position indicating beacon or epib on board. it sends a boat's location to emergency responders and epirb works when a boater manually switches it on or when it's submerged in water. >> if something were to go down and you lost whatever emergency gear you did have, you have a life jacket that's on and usually they have the epirb inside or some kind of strobe so we know where to find you. >> mayday, mayday, we're shrinking! >> the coast guard says epirbs save lives. it did here in 2016 when crews saved two fishermen whose boat sank off the florida coast. but it didn't help jennifer and tasha because their beacon wasn't activated. the women claimed they suffered crisis after crisis after slamming into near hurricane-force winds. they say part of their mast broke, their engine flooded and their communication system failed them. coast guard petty officer tara molle said we did asked why did they did not activate the epirb. they never felt like they were in a period of distress like they were going to die. but appel said the opposite. >> had they not been able to locate us, we would have been dead within 24 hours. >> appel now says in retrospect there were two instances where she should have used the epirb. the coast guard is investigating the circumstances but says there is no criminal investigation right now. cbs news reached out to both women and we have yet to hear back from them. >> i don't want to doubt this story. i was so happy, the women survived and now everybody is going hmm. >> there are some questions. >> bummer. thank you, vlad. billion dollar lawsuit accuses a popular online clothing

what's he going to say, i've got to go to work? he's the most famous unemployed person on the planet. >> i'm charlie rose with gayle king and norah o'donnell. president trump's former campaign chairman, paul manafort, and his associate, rick gates, are facing charges in the russia investigation. and another person is cooperating with the special counsel. papers reveal yesterday that former trump campaign foreign policy advisor george papadopoulos has already pleaded guilty. he admits lying to the fbi about contacts with people he believed had close ties to russia. >> this indictment shows that papadopoulos was told in april of last year after joining the campaign that russians had, quote, dirt on democratic candidate hillary clinton. the fbi says he lied about that. they say he learned that before joining the campaign. the white house says that papadopoulos was a volunteer on the campaign and played an extremely limited role. a photo tweeted by mr. trump last march shows him in a meeting with papadopoulos. >> manafort and gates pleaded not guilty yesterday to 12 charges that include conspiracy against the united states, money laundering and acting as an unregistered foreign agent. the charges are not related to the trump campaign. white house press secretary sarah huckabee sanders said the announced indictments had nothing to do with the president. >> the 31-page indictment alleges manafort and gates acted as unregistered agents of the ukrainian government and political parties. they're accused of funneling $75 million to multiple shell companies in the united states and overseas. >> manafort allegedly laundered more than $18 million to pay for property renovations, landscaping along with cars and clothing. cbs news legal analyst rikki klieman is here to explain how prosecutors are using the money laundering charges to build their case. rikki, good morning. >> good morning. >> all you have to do is read through this and it's detailed. every little landscaper and where it went through. how do you build a case like that as a prosecutor? >> money laundering is really the movement of money in essence from the left hand to the right hand, but going through a series of transactions so that we don't know where it came from. in the united states, for example, if you deposit $10,000 or more, it then gets recorded. you have to fill out a form. so if you go around depositing $9,000 in ten banks, you are money laundering. what happens in manafort and gates is that you're looking at financial institutions and financial criminals. so wanted to hide, the left hand, that they were being paid by the ukraine to lobby members of congress and to get good things for the pro russia faction in the ukraine. so you have to structure or transfer or layer this money by putting it through a series of transactions in multiple financial institutions so it comes out over here. so what did they do? they set up dummy companies or what we call shell corpses. and when the money goes into there and then it gets confused and then it comes out and what do they do with it? well, we know according to the indictment that manafort winds up with having payments for mortgages, for clothing. that's actually my favorite. $849,000. >> it's not illegal to have an offshore entity. >> absolutely not. >> so why didn't they want o register as a lobbyist for a foreign country? >> that's actually a very good question because that would have made it simple. apparently many lobbyists in washington don't go through this registration. the agent registration act prosecution is very rare indeed, but the reality is if they had simply registered, their problem was they would have to account for all the money and they'd have to have pay the taxes. >> one of the most intriguing things is with george papadopoulos, this young campaign staffer. he was arrested july 27th and has been, according to this document, released last night, a sealed court document, he has been a proactive cooperator, willing to cooperate with the government. what does that likely mean he may have been doing in the past three months? >> well, one of the things we look at when you decide to plead guilty and you cooperated, are you a past cooperator, that is you told the government everything you already did, or are you a, quote unquote, proactive cooperator, meaning in essence you're working for the government. >> working how? >> you're working to work down your sentence. so what might you do? you might exchange e-mails with people, texts with people, talk to people, have phone calls with people. >> so you can get evidence to give to the government. so do the president of the united states have any reason to be concerned about the charges that we're hearing now? >> well, personally i think he probably does have concerns not only for himself but his administration. but when it comes to legally, the manafort/gates indictment on its face, read the indictment, all 31 pages, has nothing to do with president trump or the campaign, but the obvious things that lawyers are saying and bob mueller would say, does the president have anything to worry about? perhaps not yet. >> i asked paula reid to check this for me and she yowrote bac the docket shows there were four sealed indictments friday. so those numbers do suggest there are other people who have been charged by the special counsel that we don't yet know about, just like the papadopoulos case. >> that's why papadopoulos is so much more alarming, because one of the things that we know is if you seal one indictment and have one guy working for you, there are others. >> the reason somebody ought to be concerned is this is a very aggressive effort, very aggressive investigation and witness what happened yesterday. >> he is relentless, he is dogged, and he is ethical. bob mueller will not rest. at the same time, if he doesn't find it, he will say he didn't find it. >> thank you, rikki. >> very interesting. >> the name papadopoulos is something that we're all learning to say over and over again. thank you, rikki klieman, always good to have you at the table. facebook, twitter and google represent afternoatives will te capitol hill today about russian election meddling. nancy cordes is on capitol hill with what we expect to learn on that. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. we will learn that a russian internet firm, essentially a trolling farm, had a much wider reach than initially believed. facebook is going to tell senators that 29 million of its users directly received russian content. we're talking about ads and fake news. but then it gets worse. they unknowingly shared that material and reshared it. as a result, facebook is going to tell senators today that up to 126 million u.s. users may have viewed that material within a two and a half year time frame. now, facebook executives will note that this is still a tiny fraction of what people see in their news feeds every day. but twitter is going to testify as well today and reveal that it found more than 2,700 accounts linked to that same russian trolling farm. twitter says that those accounts have all been suspended and it is taking steps to prevent future ones from being created. tw twitter, facebook and google are going through the wringer here on capitol hill over the next two days. they're testifying before three separate committees. they were initially slammed by members of congress for not understanding the scope of this problem, but now senators say, norah, that they feel that the companies have gotten the handle of it and they truly want to figure out ways to protect their users. >> nancy, thank you. a push to end daylight saving time is gaining momentum. meg oliver will show us how falling back an hour changes more than you might think. >> reporter: one state is considering changing time zones. how it could affect everything from harvesting cranberries to transportation. that story coming up on "cbs this morning." the iphone x promises better cameras and facial recognition technology. we'll check the new features and see whether it's worth the nearly $1,000 price. you're watching "cbs this morning." we'll be right back. designed to quickly wick away moisture to help maintain your skin's natural balance. for a free sample, call 1-877-get-tena. you wof your daily routine, so why treat your mouth any differently?

"the atlantic" says your favorite pumpkin pie probably has no actual pumpkin in it. oh, no! it often contains its to no field pumpkin. the big orange pumpkins used for jack-o'-lanterns because they don't taste that great. the fda allows food sellers to label pumpkin as anything that comes from golden sweet squash or a mixture of squash and pumpkin. that's why i stick to sweet potato pie. new york is expected to repeal its cabaret law. that was enacted during prohibition. the original target is racially mixed jazz clubs in harlem. there are now roughly 25,000 eating and drinking establishments in new york city. only 97 have a cabaret license. and "variety" says one direction is the first band since the beatles to have three former members with number one solo albums. this reached the top of the album chart last week. harry stiles and zane malleck did it. they're in a very good club. >> great club. speaking of schrager has revolutionized the entertainment and hospitality industries over the past four decades. he first made a name for himself in the 1970s as co-founder of the legendary nightclub studio 54, a celebrity hot spot for guests like michael jackson and steven stietyler. in 1984 he introduced the world's first boutique hotel. his hotels still shake up the hospitality market with his stylish designs and attention to detail. his newest project with a mantra luxury for all. rooms start at $150. he aims to disrupt the industry once again and create a new experience for travelers. ian schrager joins us now. good morning. >> good morning. >> public. what does that mean? tell us. >> well, you know, everything changes, culture, fashion, everything, except hotels haven't changed. i think the very notion of luxury has changed. and it shouldn't be about our price or business classification, it should be about an experience. and anybody and everybody that wants to participate with luxury should have the opportunity to do it. >> but you say, ian, there's no doormen, no check-in desk, no spa, no room service. this does not sound like luxury to me. >> well, luxury is a state of being. it's a feeling. it's how it makes you feel. >> like room service and a suite. >> when you put in technology, it lacks a personalization. but i think that's hogwash. i mean if the technology is done well, if it's executed well, if it has that wizardry about it, it elevates the spirit and lifts the experience. >> how does it work then? >> when you go in and check in and you do it with technology, you are kind of startled by it all, it's so easy. and part of the fun and experience of staying in a modern place for people. >> airbnb has had 200 million guests i think since 2008. is this a reaction or a sense that the industry is changing, and that's why you're going to have a hotel like this? >> the industry is changing. airbnb is really a disruptive idea. the only way to compete with a disruptive idea is to come up with another disruptive idea. and i think the only way the hotel industry can compete with airbnb is to do those things airbnb cannot do, which is to a spaces and experiences. and that's what we've been doing for 30 years and we'll continue to do it. >> i still don't know what happens when i walk into your hotel. i walk in. how do i know what room to go to? i still don't understand what you're saying. >> well, youould go up into ani phone, you can get to your room a lot faster. you don't have to wait in line. >> you don't have to talk to people? >> okay. >> we have -- we do have people there. every new idea is met with skepticism. like the boutique hotel 25 years ago, like studio was 40 years ago. but this is a new and modern idea for today's people. >> speaking of studio 54, there is now a book out about that as well. what was it about studio 54 that made it such a hot place in its time? >> didn't you go, charlie? >> did you go? no, i never did. >> you never did? never danced there. it was a phenomenon. it made the heartbeat faster. it's difficult to put it in a box and define it. it's just when you went there, it was something really special. it was transformative. it gave you an absolute freedom, which is an idea we all seek. and that's why i think 40 years later, people are still mesmerized by it and still talk about it. >> did you ever think of trying to recreate it? >> well, i tried to recreate it with the hotels. not what happened 40 years ago because times are different, but that kind of magic. i still try and do that. >> how much of it was the fact that there were bouncers and either you had to be somebody or know somebody to go? >> it was nothing. it was nothing to do with it. you can't fool the people. it was a special place. when you went in there, you got this incredible rush. you know, you saw 2,000 people dancing as if there was only one entity. all of those things were smoke screens, distractions. the place was special. and everything since then has been special, which validates the idea. >> well, you're still doing that because you say you're only as good as your next party. it sounds like you're planning something special with public. >> we're having a halloween party tonight. >> go to your iphone, you know where to be. >> you've got a good track record. >> thank you very much. jeremy piven calls himself a caveman when it comes to technology, but the actor stars in a tech centric role in "wisdom of the crowd." ahead, why he found this character so appealing and where it pushes us. we push back. conventional thinking. finding smarter solutions. that's what makes cancer treatment centers of america one of the leaders in precision cancer treatment. using tools like advanced genomic testing and immunotherapy to bring more options to our patients. cancer treatment centers of america. we're not just fighting cancer any more. we're outsmarting it. visit cancercenter.com/outsmart to learn more. father, veteran..., but most of all, he's a fighter. chris brown has never been afraid fights. that's why he stood up to republicans and democrats alike to fight the north jersey casinos and the takeover of atlantic city. chris brown is fighting to protect jobs in our region... a true champion for the working men and women of ah, let's keep him fighting for us. chris brown for state senate, he's on our side. i want every available option on the table for how to get this film made by the end of the day. whoever succeeds will forever be my family member. whoever doesn't, will be cleaning tanning beds in [ bleep ] rancho cucamonga. >> i love that character, that's emmy winner j played hot-tempered power agent ari gold on "entourage." he takes on a much more serious role in the new drama called "wisdom of the crowd." he plays jeffrey tanner, a wealthy tech entrepreneur torn to pieces over his daughter's murder. he believes the wrong man went to prison so he 20s a realtime crowd sourcing application. it affects everyone, including his co-workers. >> i'm worried about you. >> it was 15 years ago. i've dealt with it so just stop trying to fix me. >> i am not trying to fix you. you lost your brother. >> no, i didn't lose my brother. he killed himself. okay? it's part of who i am. nothing is going to make that go away and nothing is going to bring him back any more than sophie is going to bring back mia. i'm so sorry. >> no, no. listen, take all the time that you need. >> it's kind of hard to unring that bell, jeremy piven joins us at the table. the premise is fascinating, he's a grieving father, gives up his company and offers a $100 million reward to anybody out there who can help find his daughter's killer. so you're really engaging the crowd instantly. is he a hero? >> i think he is, but i believe he's an anti-hero because he's a guy -- in doing my research, because you're right, i am a caveman with technology. in reading about steve jobs, he became spiritual. and i think when jeffrey tanner, my character, lost his daughter, he was such an ambitious guy who was running a company, not unlike reddit, and then he decided, you know what, i'm going to put everything into a crowd source crime-solving site to figure out who killed the daughter and nothing else matters in this life. not being number one. >> making money. >> making money, all of these distractions that us as americans, you know, have in our lives. >> and as a result of this crowd sourcing, there's all these other crimes that end up being solved, right? which is part of the story line. >> it is, and that's the procedural aspect of it. and i think both my character and i resist that a little bit. and i think what's -- >> they resist it quite a lot, not a little bit. they resist it quite a lot. >> yeah, indeed. i think that -- i think that that's an interesting duality in the way that he's singularly focused on figuring out who killed his daughter, and maybe a little selfish in that way. but you're going to see that he realizes that people want to do something good in this life, and it's inspiring to him. >> these are somber subjects. is there comedy here? >> i hope so. i hope so. i think that's the fun that we've been having with it all is finding that balance. ted humphries, who is the creator of the show, is brilliant and also very collaborative. we're all finding our way as a cast and so we are -- we are going for our laughs. it's nice. >> so were you trying to find something that's the total opposite of ari gold? listen, you played it so well people actually thought you were rich, white, obnoxious, took no prisoners. that's how well you played the role. >> yes. >> was that hard for you to deal with, jeremy? people would meet you and expect you to be him. >> yeah, yeah. and any actor that rails against the universe for being type cast is -- you know, there's a long line to get into. but i think if you embrace your characters, the first thing you do as an actor is you don't judge your character in any way, shape or form. you can't. if you judge them, you're not going to be giving them as much possible depth or integrity as they can, because no one is a devil in their own story, right? so, you know, do i have the same ideology as ari gold did? no. i'm a stage actor from chicago, i'm not a guy -- >> who's parents were in theater too. >> yes, indeed, indeed. we all know the real ari. he is an authentic, prolific character. >> that is such a euphemism. love it. that's terrific. >> he is a one of a kind. >> do you talk to him about the character? >> well, he was my -- back in the day, so, yeah, i got to witness it. >> you saw it? >> yeah, he was the muse definitely for that character. and jeffrey tanner, who i'm playing now, you know, it was a nice segue, wasn't it? >> ari doesn't dislike this is character, just saying. >> no, no. >> the real ari doesn't dislike his character. >> right. yeah, that's a whole -- spend a long time with that. >> w won't. >> but to now play someone who is so incredibly human. and he's broken. he hasn't dealt with his grief. and i think it's such a fertile premise for a show and for a character that i'm loving it. and i think someone that that's driven by his grief and obsessed with finding the killer because he thinks it will soothe his grief and that's not the case. >> i want to go back to charlie's question about your acting family background. you say even with the genes that you dna, acting wasn't a foregone conclusion for you? >> i think, you know, it wasn't. i was lucky enough to grow up in the piven theater on stage with my family. i was butchering things at a very early age and having a blast. but i didn't think it would lead to anything. because when you're in chicago, you just don't think that you could ever be on television or the movies or anything like that. and i thought i was going to be a 5'9" jewish linebacker and that never happened. i don't think -- that rarely happens in this life. so i was delusional. i was on stage and improvising and doing these great pieces, but not thinking it is going to go anywhere, so i wasn't putting pressure on myself and there was no desperation. >> well, you didn't turn out to be a 5'9" jewish linebacker, but it's worked out okay for you, jeremy piven. we are cheering you on here at cbs. >> thank you very much. >> we're very excited you're part of the family. watch "wisdom of the crowd" on sunday nights on? >> cbs. >> you might do a double take if you see the batmobile. the donation that helped transform a boy and his wheelchair into the caped crusader. jamie finds out what makes a movie scary. hear from the director of the highest grossing horror film of all times. his producing partner is his sister. we'll hear from the duo behind this week's number one movie "jigsaw." you can hear it all on itunes and apple's podcast app. you're watching "cbs this morning." this batmobile will be cruising around southern california tonight doing some trick-or-treating. it's a wheelchair used by a 9-year-old, jeremy miller, who suffers from a spinal condition. he and his dad turned his chair into a replica of batman's go-to vehicle. the rest of his family is dressing as batman characters. a neighbor donated $1200 to help create the costumes. >> nice neighbor. very nice. >> a great halloween. i played a doctor on tv, but now i'm helping save lives for real. i'm partnering with cigna healthspring to remind everyone how important preventive care is to people my age. so go, know, and take control of your health. cigna healthspring. together, all the way. >> good morning, i'm jim donovan, it is halloween, so get ready for ghosts and goblins visiting tonightment yesterday helping of the first place eagles dressed up for halloween and celebrated with the children's hospital of philadelphia. they met with families of children who are receiving medical treatment there. and help the kids forget the stress and struggles for one afternoon. let's check in with katie for a look at the forecast. >> you know, here, jim, really is looking all-in-all like very nice day across the delaware valley. we can expect to see sunshine hearings is a nice look for you out there with folks walking around, you've got more sun than anything. cool start granted but very very pleasant all-in-all. current temperatures generally in the 40's, little chillier, little milder just depending on location, winds flow still out of the wells, and it currently is still pretty light. that will change with time, winds should begin to pick up more as the day goes on, up as , the timing perfect when it comes to trick-or-treating, still put the extra layer under the costumes since it is a seasonably chilly october 31 , evening here. but looking forward, it get a lot warmer, mid 70s, although, little tra off here. some some clouds and showers dotting the radar during the time. >> nice to see the 70s, even just for a minute. katie, thank you so much. and we still have this accident out here, wrightstown route 413, durham road, you'llhp road your best bet still around there. bridge inspections are starting 9:00 a.m. through 3:00 p.m., so that will be starting near just a few minutes, and also volume here on the schuylkill, so schuylkill near montgomery drive. taillights actually moving in the eastbound direction, westbound, actually, not as bad, really the eastbound side still seeing bumper to bumper conditions, jim, back over to you. >> thanks, meisha. that's "eyewitness news" for now. join us for "eyewitness news" today at noon, i'm jim donovan make it a great day. hey, girlfriend. how's your café au lait?
