Acting, in its basest form, is not a mystery. It is a person pretending to be someone else. But it may appear to the public that an actor who gets to a certain level in their career has an aura about them that the average person doesn’t.
Inside the Actors Studio (1994 to present) was a talk show that initially aired on Bravo before moving to the Ovation network. Originally hosted by the late James Lipton, each episode featured one actor. Focusing on their life and career, it became more than just an opportunity for the performer to talk about their resume. The audience watching on TV got to know that person on a deeper level and the young performers sitting in the auditorium had the opportunity to learn from someone who was once in their shoes.
I remember watching Inside the Actors Studio. It was a fascinating inside look at the act of performing and those who have made a success of it.
Do I recommend it? Yes.
P.S. Saturday Night Live‘s version of this program and Will Ferrell‘s take on Lipton is hilarious.
