I have never been able to stand it when they cut to the people in the crowd on this show. They look so star struck and honored and I don' t know why it bugs me so much but it does.
think about how it was a big deal and worrisome to HBO that james was making 1 million per episode for sheer fucking brilliance, and then that worthless turd charlie sheen was making nearly 2 million for his shit show and performance. its hard to support HBO the elitist scum, leave that to 'professionals with advanced degrees' that can afford a monthly subscription in order to peer into the window of trash they rarely see from an elevated position (criminals) and just download their products.
who the fuck are you people that watch an episode of inside the actors studio, and complain about james lipton? you honestly don't know who he is/what this tv show is about? morons.
@finowa i know who he is, and i know what this show is about... but that doesn't make him any less annoying. He's the worst part of the show, and his skills as a host and interviewer are sub-sub-par, at best.
The reason people don't like Lipton, is because he's a slimy little sycophant, who can't get his head any further up the arse of the actors he talks to. As far as knowing what the show's about. It ain't rocket science. Actors come on, and talk about their career, and how they've arrived at the place their at. I've seen some pretty rude ego-maniacs on this show too.Their people, and not everything they say is liquid gold. Luck plays a big part in it. Not all talent gets that lucky break
No one played a character in a mob setting but than he played Tony. Brando was great, Pacino, De Niro, James Caan, Ray Liotta all great of course. But Gandolfini as Tony Soprano was the greatest. His emotions, facial expressions, voice, attitude, swagger.. He blended so many elements into that role that were so real I can't tell the difference between the actor & the character, except the violence.
@Svperstarr I just watched Christopher Choking Adriana when she tells him she's been marked by the Feds.. The look on her face fuckin freaked me out, Maybe hit'em a lil bt just no choking! haha
@sekon2008 sweetheart..u have no idea the things i would do with this man...i find him soooo hot. i know, everyone thinks i am weird but thats my taste.
@MrDenizen If you think "every other character from now on is going to be Tony" then you obviously aren't attuned to how sophisticated that character is. It took YEARS to build up. He's a real breathing jealous neurotic. If you see a resemblance in another movie you're just watching the actor and not the character.
I don't rate him as an actor at all. He was born to play Tony Soprano, but every other character from now on is going to be Tony again. That's not good acting.. so he was basically just playing himself when he played T. Albeit with a thick New Jersey accent.
will he ever get out of the tony role: idk. he played it so well, now it's like "hey, there's tony in a beard, hey, there's tony in a santa suit, hey, what is tony doing in that moive.." tho he may never have to work again, it's going to be hard to break outta that role, lose about 175 lbs, get some hair weave and maybe...
@msmiche1000 no he got the curse of being know forever of that one role, he was born to play Tony, and no matter what he does he will always be looked at as Tony, he'll never hed that image....
I am always surprised by how little people know about such things and they comment on them with no knowledge. James is a teacher, more than an interviewer, and he sacrifices those moments and peneatrates the interviews not only for the enjoyment of the view, but for the lessons to be learned by his students in the audience. That in itself, beyond anything else in his completely mastered craft, is what makes him so special.

That in itself, beyond anything else in his completely mastered craft, is what makes him so special.
I love James Gandolfini, it was such a surprise to me when I heard him for the first time not as tony soprano, I couldn't wrap my head around the fact that he has an accent in the sopranos and that this is his normal voice.
Lipton is a great interviewer; and he said one thing at the beginning of this clip about James' role in Tarantino's move "True Romance" that I agree with, which was that Quentin is notorious for writing & directing violence, but that scene where Gandolfini and Arquette go at each other and she ends up killing him was absolutely the MOST violent thing that Tarantino (w/ Tony Scott) has put out, so far. It might even be the most violent scene that I have EVER seen in a movie. Totally EPIC!
It's weird hearing him talk like that. He sounds so different, it's almost like he is acting now. I suppose it says more about his actual acting. I was always under the illusion that he was very much like Tony Soprano with regard to his dialect and mannerisms but i suppose i was completely wrong. Outstanding actor.
He is very charming. Tells god stories. Very insightful about the process of acting. His portrayal of Tony Soprano was simply epic. Loved the part about what a director has to give an actor.
the role of tony soprano was fucking made for him he was spectacular in it, and deserves some kind of a lifetime achievement award that they haven't even invented yet, for his portrayal.
@Theburn77 saying the role was made for him doesn't give enough credit to Gandolfini. The role was written with no one in mind, and Gandolfini MADE it his own. He created Tony Soprano as much as David Chase did.
@ecclesiasticous also Gandolfini read for the role TWICE - Ray Liota turned it down on two seperate occasions. chase was unaware of JG prior to audition, but said that he bought an intensity to the role that changed the feel of the pilot
@ecclesiasticous I agree with you, but it could also be said from a viewpoint that "the role was made for him" because nobody else could have brought Tony Soprano to life like James Gandolfini did. Maybe that's only in hindsight, but I certainly don't think any other actor could have done it anywhere near justice.
james gandolfini is the best actor i have ever seen he is no phony so he is down to earth is that a bad thing i think not!!! he started acting later in life that is why postalnation is dogging him! i guess postalnation is more of a brad pitt man!!
"Tonh's" speech is not necessarily mobster street slang. I was around plenty of people in North Jersey who are hardly mobed up and sound exactly like him. It's Italian influenced, generational and can be heard around the northeast metropolitian area.
@SupremePenguinTone Yeah u can tell he hadn't maybe fully developed the character during the first season..didn't quite have the accent down..i noticed that too..especially when u finish season 6 and then go right back and watch season 1 again..you can only see how much weight he had gained through the course of the show too lol
@CrAzYMiXeZ Your Zelda remix, the beat you 'produced', the sound is so awful I can't believe the low level of quality and production. It sounds like some cheap casio keyboard from 1984. Silly nigger, trix are for kidz.
@bitcheznhos lol your comeback was so off topic, either you got nothing to say or your mom beat the shit out of you when you were a baby. And i aint black
@bitcheznhos Really? I'm rolling in cash and I dont even have to leave my own home, I'm livin the good life....so have fun busting your ass for $7.50 an hour lol.
It's because all of these shows are edited down. In reality, these interviews last hours and hours. All the people in the audience pay to watch and learn, seen as we don't pay, we get the stripped down shit.
This interviewer is one of the worst I've ever seen. He doesn't let T talk at all, by interuptering him all the time with his stupid interrogation-way of asking questions. Lose the note cards old man! Even Letterman would have gotten more out of T!
I'm always surprised when anyone lauds Lipton as an interviewer. He comes off like a phony aristocrat and movie star wannabe.
In particular, there are two things he does that REALLY annoy me: 1) referring to his guests by their nicnames (e.g. "Bobby" for "Robert De Niro") and 2) getting his guests to cry.
HOWEVER, having said that, I can't think of another interviewer who has the depth of research that Lipton does. Seriously, the subtle details he comes up with are amazing.
@PostalNation it's that research and his ability to form it into landmarks by which he can get these stars (many of whom are not actually very comfortable just talking in front of people when lines are not in front of them or practiced (DeNiro being a good example)) to layout the narrative of their careers and lives. And keep folks like Robin Williams on track.... Or as close as you can get.
@PostalNation charlie rose is pretty awesome, the only thing I dislike about his interviews is that he just interviews the guest about current things.
@PostalNation Gandolfini doesn't come across as too 'scripted' or whatever you'd like to call it but yeah..the interviewer and every single guest are fake as hell
Shut the fuck up, you foreign cocksucker! Keep your fucking stupid fucking mouth shut and do some research! James Lipton is a genius at what he does. You''ve got balls calling anyone boring.
A genius at what he does? Let's see how wikipedia describes "what he does:" wrote and acted in soap operas, wrote a few books, then he started this show. Wow, brilliant! What a genius, he's an interviewer!
Fuck your wikipedia! The man is a certified genius and that's why the show is so venerable and respected. But you're a fucking douchebag with ButtBuster in his name, so no matter what you say, you cannot be taken seriously. You're a clownshoe!
He didnt attack him he warned him several times to back off and stay away from him and his wife cause he was annoying him and getting too close you know crowding him. The autograph hound didnt listen so James grabbed him told him to back off but he apologized later and took a photo with him
James Gandolfini is a great actor but god I hate this programme; it's so hard to get him to interview and then all you do is get him to recite his CV?
god, the interviewer is creepy.

In particular, there are two things he does that REALLY annoy me: 1) referring to his guests by their nicnames (e.g. "Bobby" for "Robert De Niro") and 2) getting his guests to cry.
HOWEVER, having said that, I can't think of another interviewer who has the depth of research that Lipton does. Seriously, the subtle details he comes up with are amazing.

about your original comment: i actually like lipton, but the nickname thing does get tacky.

@PostalNation it's that research and his ability to form it into landmarks by which he can get these stars (many of whom are not actually very comfortable just talking in front of people when lines are not in front of them or practiced (DeNiro being a good example)) to layout the narrative of their careers and lives. And keep folks like Robin Williams on track.... Or as close as you can get.

@PostalNation charlie rose is pretty awesome, the only thing I dislike about his interviews is that he just interviews the guest about current things.

@PostalNation Gandolfini doesn't come across as too 'scripted' or whatever you'd like to call it but yeah..the interviewer and every single guest are fake as hell

@PostalNation i thinks thats harsh..he does brown nose a bit..

A genius at what he does? Let's see how wikipedia describes "what he does:" wrote and acted in soap operas, wrote a few books, then he started this show. Wow, brilliant! What a genius, he's an interviewer!

Fuck your wikipedia! The man is a certified genius and that's why the show is so venerable and respected. But you're a fucking douchebag with ButtBuster in his name, so no matter what you say, you cannot be taken seriously. You're a clownshoe!

Thats all fine and well, but it dosent change the fact that he earns more money than you'll ever earn and he has more respect than you'll ever get.

Fripitto 2 years ago
He didnt attack him he warned him several times to back off and stay away from him and his wife cause he was annoying him and getting too close you know crowding him. The autograph hound didnt listen so James grabbed him told him to back off but he apologized later and took a photo with him
