Absolutely love your show and ability to be such a careful listener, an ability which I find most interviewers lack. You are the master of allowing your guests to be the true showcase of your series, rather than yourself. Bravo! (no pun intended)
I agree with previous comments regarding requests for interviews with Viggo Mortensen, Leo DiCaprio, and Alan Rickman. Also, I would definitely buy episodes that the network made available on DVD and/or Bluray format. Thanks!

Hello!

I went to the Bradley Cooper taping of ITAS, and really enjoyed myself!

I'm hoping to see Alan Rickman sitting across from you and being there to witness it!

Hi Mr Lipton, I really love ITAS! I would love to see you interview Alan Rickman and also Maggie Smith. Cheers! Kirsty, Australia

Very good post. Looking forward to the next one.

Loved, Loved, Loved Betty White!!! She has been one of my favorite people all my life and I was so happy to see her on your show. And get her Emmy on top of it! Cool!!!!!

Please do another overseas episode to France and interview Michael Lonsdale. This man is a wonderful actor with an impressive and diverse body of work.

When are you going to have some NEW episodes on? Have you retired from the show? I have not seen any new episodes of "Inside The Actors Studio in more than a year. Thank you.

Tommy Wiseau. Best. Interview. Ever.

I add my voice to those requesting both Viggo Mortensen and Alan Rickman, both stellar actors who would make great additions to your already impressive roster.

Mr. Lipton:

I have watched and loved your show for years. It is refreshing to see actors talk about who they really are, and to give advice to those who aspire to be like them. Your show is unique, wonderful, and is always on in my house.

I do have a small request. You have inteverviewed many fascinating actors, but there is one whom you haven't that stands out. Alan Rickman. Do you have any plans to interview him on your show? If not, can you please include him in an upcoming episode?

Mr. Lipton, I beg of you....please use your clout from the show to convince Bravo to release the entire catalog of ITAS on DVD! There are so many wonderful episodes I would love to see many times over. The paltry few that are available just tease.

Love your work!

Thank you.

Came across your program this morning and Robert Downey Jr. was on. What a pleasure to listen to and watch. The thing that comes across is that you can't be afraid of life and be an actor. The clip you showed of the movie Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang, was absolutely captivating. That is brilliant acting. Now I want to find the movie so I can watch it. I feel a respect/fear for what they do and where they are able to go, as actors, to tell a story, become a character. Some other things he said about keeping it alive, going places that make you grow, or areas you delve into that you need to face, I was hanging onto his words, because there are always paralalles to one's own life and growing as a person. Something about motives too. I feel profound respect for their ability to be in relationship with others and work with others. Personally, I don't want anything much to do with anyone. I just hang out with my dog and watch a lot of television. . . and work as a cashier.

Happened across the movie G.I. Jane last night, and forgot or didn't notice that Viggo Mortensen was in it. Another, very real, and honest actor. I'd love to see an interview of him on your show. They go somewhere and become something they aren't at all like in their own life, and that is fascinating and scary to me. But I love listening to these people and what they have to say about their experience. I like your show and interviews and hope the program continues for a long time to come.

Love your show. However, I haven't been able find it lately. Is it still on Bravo?

Will

Hi!
I love the show, and I have for years, I just wanted to make a request, I would love to see Meryl Streep in the show, I know she was already a guest once but I think she has done such amazing job since then and is pretty much one of the greates actress ever, so I think it would be great for her to be in the show again, hope you keep it in to consideration, thanks and keep up the good work!

I justed wanted to say thank you for the hours of pleasure that your show has given me. I stumbled upon it some months ago and have been a avid watcher since.
I find the interviews not only entertaining but have found insights within the said interviews that can/hav helped me in life.
Once again thank you

Where is your show scheduled? It has not been coming on on Monday night on Bravo. Please give a schedule. It has, for years, been my favorite show on television. Thanks for a response.

Dear James Lipton

I have a request that you would guest the cast from The Big Bang Theory on your fantastic show. Please take it into consderation as I am sure many people would also love to have them on your show.

Sincerely
Robin Batchelor

It was quite a surprise to see Mickey Rourke on your program since he stated that he rarely watched the show at all but it was first time in a while that an actor appeared on this show rather than a "celebrity" (Jay Leno, Roseanne Barr, Conan O'Brian, etc). My gripe is that you ought to interview some of our senior actors like Kirk Douglas, Ernest Borgnine before they leave us. It would've been nice to have seen George C. Scott too before he died. But I'm grateful to have seen Paul Newman, Eli Wallach, Jack Lemmon, Al Pacino and Robert DeNiro outside of Dustin Hoffman.

I can't imagine what the reason..... Helen Mirren????
Hopefully there isn't some personal issue keeping Helen from appearing. Is there a more distinguished actress alive? Much of her professional and personal life is common knowledge, even so, millions of fans would likely pay to see your interview.

Hi James, I hope you don't mind my calling you by your first name, but I feel that I know you. I absolutely love your show and never miss it...unfortunately, it doesn't come on often enough to suit me. I am reading your book 'Inside, Inside' and was just crying over your description of the episode with Christopher Reeve...he really was, as you said 'superman'. I wanted to tell you how much I am enjoying your book and how amazed I am at all of your accomplishments...bravo to you.

Sincerely, Barbara in Arkansas

Hi, I love your show! I was wondering if Leonardo DiCaprio was going to be on the show? He is my favorite actor and I would love to see that interview. Thank you!

Kjære James.
Jeg vil benytte sjangsen til å sende en ydmyk takk til deg og Inside actors studio samt alle som hører med.

Dear James

I humbly salute you and Inside the actors studio with a truly fantastic and entertaining show. Not only is it one of the greatest television show on both sides of the last millennium, but it also has the most brilliant host of all time.

I salute you James Lipton and all who accompanies you on this wonderful journey we know as: Inside the actors studio.

Being the great James Lipton, I am sure you will find a way to understand my Norwegian message.

PS: You should absolutely get Jackie Chan and Jet Li to appear as guests.

hi James I'm a big Fan of Your show when will U get Actor Jeffrey,Donovan on the show he's has no reconizing of his career I love he's work on the hit t.v. series Burn Notice! it's a wonderful good show I love his work in any movie he's made I'm a big Fan of JD well hope soon he will get his props soon takecare (james) I'll be looking out for him to be on Inside The Actor Studio.

The questions on the cards make the show! And they have to be made from information "dug up" by you and perhaps a staff??? It's all in the preparation and you do it magnificently!! My hearty congratulations on the length of your series and the quality of it! How wonderful of your audience to appreciate your efforts and reward you by watching for so long. In this crazy business where quality is so often cancelled by mediocracy, you are a shining star!
Won-der-ful!!

I am such a big fan of James Lipton and The Actors Studio and wish there were more shows. How can I get tickets to see the how in person? Thank you. Donna Kelley... also, how can I purchase reent videos of the show?

This show, like Playhouse 90, Tonight Show with Jack Parr and a couple others, will be shows of record for the arts.

A great program which Irarely miss.
I would like to see the following actors as guests:
James Earl Jones, Stellan Skarsgård and Ewan Mcgregor

I don't recall ever seeing Val Kilmer on The Actors Studio. Did I miss it, or has he really not been honored yet? I have always thought him to be one of the top actors of our time and hugely underrated. Do you have any plans to feature Mr. Kilmer on a future show? I feel he well deserves the honor, and as he is very private, it would be nice to "get to know him" a little bit.
I am puzzled as to why his talents have gone unnoticed for so long. He is a chameleon of an actor and has such intensity in whatever roles he plays. He can sing, dance and act - and does all quite well, as seen in the first role that ever caught my attention, in Top Secret, and of course his amazing portrayal of Jim Morrison in The Doors. So many talents to go unpraised.
Please consider an interview with Mr. Kilmer!

WE WANT LEO!!!!!!!!!

Yours has been a favorite for years. I just finished 'Inside Inside' and enjoyed all of the background work. Thank you so much for providing the best show on TV and giving us more to watch than the usual. The scheduling has made it difficult the past couple of years, but we're anxious for the upcoming season. It's priceless to have access to great minds and unlimited talent.

Dear Mr. Lipton,

I greatly enjoy the intellectual grace and integrity you bring to 'Inside The Actor's Studio'; thank you very much. My wish list has been mostly fulfilled by your excellent show, but one particularly brilliant actor with an incredible, varied career stands out as an essential guest in my mind, and that would be Christian Bale. I've gathered over the years that he's a complex, deeply private soul who doesn't seem to relish much scrutiny, but I believe he would have a treasure trove of insight and wisdom to offer to the lucky students of Pace University, and to artists all over the world. I have my fingers crossed! Keep up the wonderful work.

Sincere thanks and best wishes,
Candace

i dunno where else to post it.

please invite courtney love. i think she has some interesting views to tell.
i can send you some questions for your cards.

i have never heard of show your before.
its not aired here in germany.

i found you by searching for the reason why there is no fresh dave chapelle material available.

i am very happy that i found your place.

Mr. Lipton...I love your show! However, due to my schedule, as well as Bravo's crazy schedule, I don't always get a chance to catch. HOWEVER, I do have a request...PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE invite the greatest living actress...Emma Thompson....on your show. I have simply fallen in love with this woman (and I'm a heterosexual female), and think she would be a fantastic guest...you need to give her two hours, in fact! She's funny, a great guest (have you ever seen her on Letterman? She's always a delight...as well as on Ellen). She's funny, she's intelligent, she's obviously a Stratavarius of an actress, AND she's a writer as well. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE invite her...and you need to give her TWO HOURS, NOT JUST ONE. She's a delight, and I'm sure your students would learn a lot from this grand dame of acting.

Mr. Lipton,
I am a huge fan of the show! I await an offering of the show from the beginning --start with season 1- unedited on DVD. I choose to have all the episodes -- I will pick my favorites.
I am curious about Henry "Harry" Morgan. I would think that he has some amazing stories to tell. Any chance of interviewing him?
I, too, am frustrated by the programming on BravoTV. I could care less about the realty of "housewives" or "top chefs". I miss your show regularly. Please promote DVD's of the episodes -- from the beginning. Thank you,
Lori B

Hi,poochie2 here,love the show and the Guest my favorite Episode is Robin Williams,I learn alot every time I see it.Anyway,as a Batman Fan is there ANYWAY you could the Cast of THE DARK KNIGHT either together or by themselves on the Show?I know Sir Micheal Caine has ben on but could you get Christian Bale on his first Film WAS Directed by Speilberg?

Mr. Lipton,
Your show never fails to be fun abd interesting. I hope to see a Denzel Washington interview soon.

What a great show! Those of us who admire the creative process, enjoy hearing actors speak of their craft.
Have you considered Eddie Izzard for the show? He's very interesting and has a bio film due out this month. He'll be in the states beginning in January.

Would like to echo the sentiments and thank you, Mr. Lipton, for your humanity and kindness and generosity. You are truly an inspiration in your approach to people. I very much appreciate your thoughtfulness and sensitivity. Inside the Actor's Studio is must see television in my home.

Dear Mr. Liption,

My wife and I have enjoyed "Inside the Actor's Studio" for several years now. One night when we were re-screening those sessions you had dedicated to English and Australian actors, we were wondering if you were ever going to create a series for French Actors and Actresses. I confess I am very interested in Seeing Jean Reno, but also people like Catherine Deneuve, or Juliette Binoche, etc..

Thank you for your energies and enteraining approach to make the famous more human.

I'd like to second Colin Firth as a guest on IAS. Now more than ever, as he's been mentioned as a likely Oscar nominee for his magnificent performance in A Single Man. I saw it at the Toronto Film Festival, and it's the best film I've seen this year.

There are few things as gratifying as watching an actor discuss the creative process of performance. Just last weekend, when I was helping my 13-year-old prepare for an audition, I realized that I was able to help her more meaningfully because watching Inside... has kept fresh in my mind the technique I learned when I studied Uta Hagen's process in college. Although I know we owe thanks to Bravo, I must say thank you to you for bringing thoughtful, instructive hours.

The one actor I would love to see you interview is Jane Lynch. Her characters are always so rich and layered that I am sure she is a gold mine of information.

Thank you again.

My mistake Mr. Dafoe has been on the show...I retract that statement, but I stand by Alan Rickman

Hello, Mr. Lipton,

I love watching Inside The Actors Studio and I think that it is the one of the greatest shows on Bravo. I was wondering if in the future you may have plans to invite Alan Rickman to the studio. He is a wonderful actor and I feel he deserves his moment on the show. Also so I was wondering if there would ever be a Willem Dafoe episode, I would love to see it.

Hoping to see these in the future
--Siren

Hi Jim I love the show I saw the third epiodes of the show so happy Your doing Amy P. from SNL hope to see on their soon Jeffrey,Donovan he has a long movie career I love his work. "Burn "Notice is a hit any way I'm glad to see the series back James Lipton thanks!

Mr. Lipton,
Im currently taking a class which is re-branding a show. I chose yours because I find is a great shows that keeps it original and gives back to everyone wanting to learn more about the artists you've interviewed throughout the years.

I wanted to ask you, how do you feel about your show's advertising, and branding? Do you feel the show could have a more edgy side to it when it comes to packaging? Or maybe you don't care too much about this side of it (which I completely understand as well) I'm just looking for an input.

thank you so much!

Dear Mr. Lipton,

Having been lucky enough to atually attend the taping of many shows over the years, I truly appreciate the talents of everyone involved in the productuion of the show. Some of the most interesting evenings I've spent have been at IAS.
I hope to see many more shows in the seasons to come.

BRAVO!

Jeff Martin

We love your show! The questions are intelligent and thought-out, the actor - well-researched. Could you interview Colin Firth? Thanks!

Will LEONARDO DICAPRIO come on the show?
He is an amazing actor and I would love to see his interview.

Mr. Lipton

Thank you for all the great interviews, but (there is always a but) I would really love to see Jim Carrey, Larry David and Jerry Seinfeild on your show.

Regards from Norway

Please, please, please release this show in dvd. Currently there is only the few compilation dvds and frankly; that's just a tease.
Thanks!
