The television program Inside the Actors Studio first aired in 1994 on the Bravo cable television network. Its host was and still is James Lipton, Dean Emeritus of the Actors Studio Drama School. The program provides in-depth interviews with actors, directors, writers and other artists, some but not all of whom are members of the Studio. The program is taped in front of students of the Actors Studio Drama School at Pace University and serves as a class seminar for them. Beginning with the twelfth season in the fall of 2005, Inside the Actors Studio is taped at the Michael Schimmel Center for the Arts at Pace's New York City campus. The show now has a new set with a backstage feel, designed by Will Rothfuss.

Famous quotes containing the word actors:
“It has no share in the leadership of thought: it does not even reflect its current. It does not create beauty: it apes fashion. It does not produce personal skill: our actors and actresses, with the exception of a few persons with natural gifts and graces, mostly miscultivated or half-cultivated, are simply the middle-class section of the residuum.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
