Clive Owen stopped by last night's LATE NIGHT to talk about making his Broadway debut in Harold Pinter's Old Times at the Roundabout Theatre Company. Explained the actor, "It's a very elusive play, so it's open to a number of interpretations... but really people want to talk about it or not, so they either come in and dive straight into the play, or they say nothing."

Later, Owen talks about Season 2 of his TV series THE KNICK. Watch clips from the appearance below!

Directed by Douglas Hodge, Clive Owen stars in the new production of Old Times opposite Eve Bestand Kelly Reilly. The show features original music by Radiohead's Thom Yorke. Old Times began previews on September 17, 2015, and opened officially on October 6, 2015. This is a limited engagement through Sunday, November 29, 2015, on Broadway at the American Airlines Theatre (227 West 42nd Street).

In Pinter's unsettling drama of desire and blurred realities, Owen portrays Deeley, a man quite looking forward to meeting Anna (Best), his wife Kate's (Reilly) friend from long ago. But as the night goes on, Anna's visit quickly shifts from an ordinary sharing of memories to a quiet battle for power. Douglas Hodge, a frequent performer and director of Pinter's works, directs the haunting and passionate revival.
