Which actor or actress -- someone who has not yet been interviewed on the show, please -- would you like to see featured on "Inside the Actor's Studio" someday?

(Please make sure you check the website's existing episode guide first, before you post your request, to see if your pick has already had an episode devoted to him or her.)

Consider this message board thread to be a very unofficial 'wishlist' for ITAS fans.

Hi
I am new here and i did check the list and didn`t see his name on it so i would love to see Tim Curry on the show.
thanks

I would love to see Keanu Reeves on ITAS!

I would second the Tim Curry suggestion.

I am new here as well, and would like to see Anthony Lapaglia on ITAS!

Thanks if more have the same suggestion on getting tim curry on the show,you never now
thanks again

New as well, and I can't find any record of Mary McDonnell being interviewed and she would be great. Two Academy Award nominations, one Emmy, and at least one Golden Globe ... she has been mentioned by other guests as being amazing to work with, but I can't find any record of her being a guest herself.

I agree mary is a great actress i would love to see her interviewed myself.

Yes, Mary McDonnell is a brilliant choice! Vote Rosalin!

Huge fan of Vincent D'Onofrio. Would love to see him on.

I would love to see Bruce Campbell on the show.

Judi Dench is at the top of my list, immediately follwed by Maggie Smith. They would rock!

i would love to see George Clooney..im sure he would be very funny!

Hi, I'm new here. Out of the actors not already listed as being on the show, I would love to see Elijah Wood interviewed.

I would LOVE to see Jack Nicholson as well as Robert Duvall. I attend many tapings and the greater the body of work, the better the show.

Hi
I'm new here ...... I would love to see William Fichtner


He is an intense, versatile performer, William Fichtner has become a memorable character actor through his work with some of the most notable filmmakers of the 1990s and beyond. Fichtner earned kudos for his psychotic hit man in actor Kevin Spacey's directorial debut Albino Alligator (1997). As a gentle blind scientist in Robert Zemeckis' empyreal sci-fi adventure Contact (1997), Fichtner further revealed his considerable range; among the hip ensemble cast in Doug Liman's time-bending rave comedy Go (1999). He also portrayed one of the ill-fated swordfishermen in Wolfgang Petersen's adaptation of The Perfect Storm (2000). He now appears as Agent Mahone in Prison Break (Fox)

Gerry Butler of "300" and "Phantom of the Opera" fame. And make that 2 hours worth.

http://gerardbutler.net/

I second this suggestion (and third it, and fourth it) - whatever it takes!!

Gerard Butler
It's ok with me he is very funny make any Interview watchable

Gerard Butler would make a great interview..he's got an interesting
career and his performances are very thoughtful. His Phantom of the
Opera and King Leonidas from 300 are my favorites and show the
range of his talent and depth of committment to a role.
He's also a great storyteller as a Scotsman with a great sense of humor. His experiences would certainly be interesting to the students.

I think Gerard Butler would give an interesting, thoughtful, and funny interview. He is always open and honest, and I believe would have a lot to say of interest to the studio audience as well as the TV viewers..about acting and anything else that would come up.

Mary McDonnell is a perfect choice. She has had a varied and interesting career, nominated for oscars, emmy, golden globe, has won an Obie. She is very intelligent, funny, beautiful, kind and speaks quite well. I heard her give a public talk and the audience was enthralled. She is also great at Q and A. She is also a phenomenal actor and is doing some of her best work, in my opinion, on the critically aclaimed TV series, Battlestar Galactica.

I was trying to start another topic but it won`t let me.
so here is it anyway here.

what music group would you like to be interviewed on the actors studio?
if anybody can could they start a topic for me,
thanks

Definitely Gerard Butler! He is hilarious and entertaining and not too bad on the eyes! Please, Please, Please we beg you!

I guess I have a few actors I wouldn't mind seeing... Christian Bale, Colin Firth, or Gerard Butler!

Also, are any of these taped - for later viewing? (i.e. on DVD) - or any future plans of making them available in that format?

thanks!

I agree with Chellie, Gerard would be wonderful. He certainly has had an interesting journey as an actor, and in interviews, hes funny, and interesting!! Great idea!!

Ahhh.. did somebody say Gerard Butler? Absolutely, good pick.
He's had such a varied career and is passionate about his work...and I haven't ever found any real in-depth interviews with him. I think it's safe to say that would be well-watched hey?

Someone also mentioned Maggie Smith, and I think that would be awesome! She's always so good. Seems like a very smart, savvy lady.

JOHN CUSACK AND VINCENT D'ONOFRIO. LOVE BOTH. WAS ESPECIALLY DISSAPOINTED THAT D'ONOFRIO WASN'T PART OF THE "LAW AND ORDER" ITAS EPISODE.

Timothy Dalton

If he starts with story telling, there'll be a lot of editing to do.

That's why he needs two hours . That and I want to see him have a converstion lasting longer than 5 minutes.

Oh, by the way, if it wasn't evident I vote for Gerard Butler .

I would like to see June Foray as a guest on ITAS! She is about 90 years old now, so James Lipton better hurry up with the interview before she...you know...dies. She's famous for her voice- over work, and I'd find it interesting to see an actor like that on the show because those types of actors are very underestimated/unappreciated in the showbiz world.
So, I hope some producer will take a look at this message and quickly set up an interview with the legened before it's too late.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE!
If not her, interview atleast one voice-over actor like;
-Frank Welker
-Maurice La Marche
-Billy West
-Tress MacNeille
So, please interview one of them, they deserve praise for the many hours of work they put into creating and giving life to memorable characters that will go down in television and movie history.

Someone mentioned Maggie Smith. I think that is a good choice. However, my first pick would be Julie Andrews. Julie Andrews has received an oscar, three golden globes, at least two emmy awards, the BAFTA award, and the screen actors guild life achievement award. Julie Andrews was also a recipient of the John Kennedy Centre Honours in 2001. She has been named a Dame by Queen Elizabeth II. What more can you ask for in an accomplished actor?

I would also love to see Gerard Butler on the show. He is extremely talented and very interesting. His fans are very dedicated to him, and he doesn't forget that. He would make a fascinating guest!

Gerard Butler would be great! I saw Gerry in 3 movies before I realized all three of them were him! He has the ability to become the character, from head to toe - so few can do that. I've enjoyed learning more about him this last couple years, mostly from the great bunch of fans who support him. Half the show could be spent sharing about the fans and what they've done for him. They are always supportive, and up to date on his projects. I can't wait!

I'd love to see Dermot Mulroney. His body of work is long and varied enough to be well worth exploring.

Hello,

This is my first post...great forum

I think all actors mentioned would be great if I can I would like to recommend MARY MCDONNELL as a guest!!

I saw her speak at Bryant University and was wonderful


Lizway1

Tim Curry!!!!

Actor/writer/director Frank Whaley!!!!

Brad Dourif!!!!

Jodelle Ferland (eventually)!!!!

Terry Gilliam!!!!

Sarah Polley!!!!

Those are people I'd love to see on the program.

I was very surpirsed after reviewing the ITAS list of previous guests to not see one of the greats-- James Earl Jones.

Keir Dullea.

"Open the pod doors, H.A.L."

"After 50 Years in Acting, Fully Relaxed in His Craft"

Keir Dullea Article 4/8/07

Keir is still looking good!!

Just saw "David & Lisa" again today. What an excellent film.

Too bad Janet Margolin isn't with us anymore.

Because your program is unscripted, the "KING" of honest candid remarks is GERARD BUTLER!

Two hours of the Scottish views of the acting profession --- priceless! Gerard Butler -soon- please!!

GERARD BUTLER, most definitely!

This intelligent, interesting, versatile, powerful actor has flown under the radar for far too long! The man is poised to enjoy a long, solid, quality career, and we who appreciate him will benefit.

The elegant James Lipton's thoughtful, well-researched interviewing manner and well-framed questions are perfect for the self-deprecating, unpredictable personality of GB, who usually responds most satisfyingly when actually given time to answer a question, instead of fielding too-fast, idiotic crap from most of our so-called 'news professionals'.

Inside the Actor's Studio is one of the finest offerings on Bravo or any other channel, and in my home it has always been a 'must see.' My thanks to all involved.

Now, about Gerard...

Silverblue60

i think Vincent D'Onofrio is one of the best actors around

I think a great guest to have on would be Roderick Toombs, better known as "Rowdy" Roddy Piper. I know, I know, but the man has been a professional entertainer since 1969 and has been in over forty features and various projects ranging from "bit" parts on TV shows, voice acting, leading roles and even three or four music videos. That's not including the impact he has had (and still has) in the sport of professional wrestling. In my opinion, this man is a multi talented, multi genre performer. And I'm not alone in my thinking. Legions of fans would most assuredly tune in to watch their hero on Bravo "dishing" about the opposite side of the spectrum of his career. Not to mention that his own personal life is something that a script writer couldn't invent. I believe that Rod would be a fascinating guest and wouldn't hurt or discredit the Actors Studio or the show one little bit.

I met Roddy at a book signing, and he has an interesting background. I really like, "They Live"!

I would love to see Gerald Butler interviewed, too. He chucked his Law Job and life in Scotland to become an actor because he was utterly unable to live a happy life if not an actor. It's taken him 12 years to finally get well known, but he has made some wonderful, unusual movies before 300. I just think that his desire to be an actor would make him such a good guest for the acting students in Lipton's classes; Butler gives wonderful interviews, so he would be interesting as well. But basically, it's just his inner dream, his driving force to be an actor, that would make him an inspiration to all those who watched the show.
