VIDEO: Alan Cumming Talks Return to CABARET, New Book, 'Good Wife' & More on LARRY KING NOW

Tony-Award-winning actor Alan Cumming sits down with Larry King on the Emmy nominated series LARRY KING NOW to talk about the abuse he suffered as a child, reprising his iconic role in 'Cabaret', and what is in store this season on 'The Good Wife.' Plus, why he throws the best post-show parties in his dressing room. Watch the episode below!

Larry asked Alan about his role on 'The Good Wife' and actress Archie Panjabi's upcoming exit from the show, "She's been doing it for 6 years and she's out of contract and I think she just wants to go in so - but it's a while before she goes." He also talked about his ties to Scotland, why he campaigned for independence, and the future of politics in his homeland.

The Tony award winner discussed why he chose to reprise his iconic role in the famed Broadway musical, 'Cabaret', "I just also thought wouldn't it be great to be doing this dancing my tits off on a Broadway stage with girls half my age when I was 50." Alan also discussed his bisexuality and how people's views on it have changed throughout the years, "There's been a kind of a fad where people think oh they're not - bi-sexual means you're either going to be gay, but you haven't quite - you don't feel comfortable with it yet or you're kind of just a whore" he added, "I do feel very much that people get it now."

The actor talked about his new book 'Not My Father's Son: A Memoir,' "I wanted to do something that was more personal and more about what my life is really like. It's a much more holistic look at what my life is like." Alan also recounted the moment he realized his father was having an affair, during a family outing to the beach and shared a photo from the day with Larry.

Alan wrapped up his interview by answering social media questions from some of his biggest fans, including what his favorite role to play was, "When I did 'Spy Kids' I played this character called Fegan Floop and it was really fun to do, but what I love so much about it is that it's - the kids who - it was like 12 years ago or 14 years ago. So now people are young adults come up to me. The way they react to me is about something magical in their childhood and I love that."
