Inside
the Actors Studio
The talk show Inside the Actors studio features
interviews and discussions with some of the
most prominent actors, writers and directors
of the day, interviewed by a distinguished
host.
Many things make this show special. For
one, the audience features students and alumni
of the Actors Studio MFA Program, making
the show a highly charged environment.
The format too is intimate, warm and extremely
interesting in as much the actors talk not
just about the latest fashions but about
their childhoods, their careers, their craft,
and also share things that us regular folk
rarely get to hear.
After the interview itself, the actor and
the host relocate to a classroom where the
audience can ask questions directly of the
star guest.
