For twelve years, executive producer and host James Lipton has sat down with over 200 of the world’s most accomplished artists for penetrating, fascinating interviews. Lipton’s studious research and enlightened curiosity has inspired his guests to open up and confess their deepest thoughts about their craft since the series premiere in 1994. Inside The Actors Studio has earned a reputation of being a forum where guests can speak fearlessly, openly and honestly about the things that matter most to them: their craft and the crucial events of their lives and careers. The series is seen in 80 million homes and 125 countries on the Bravo cable network and has received 12 Emmy nominations including this year’s nod for Outstanding Nonfiction Series.
