Inside the Actors Studio
Add to Watchlist
The setting of the show is very simple. On the curtained stage sits a small table and two chairs, nothing more. There is nothing fancy or glamorous about the set up. If anything it is a little bland in appearance. For some reason this set up seems to work at putting these famous actors at ease. They often open up about their private lives and experiences on Inside the Actors Studio more than any other show. While the non-descript setting certainly seems to put them at ease, James Lipton himself is certainly partly responsible for their relaxed and open demeanor.
James Lipton comes across in a non-judgemental way. He has a relaxing aura and he seems to know what to say at the correct times. He doesn't seem like he is judging them and therefore most actors seem to blossom and open up to him almost without a thought. Inside the Actors Studio is on the Bravo network and it is one of their top shows. If you enjoy shows that delve into people's personal lives, especially the lives of famous actors, then you might enjoy catching some episodes of Inside the Actors Studio.
