Inside the Actors Studio (Seasons 1–22)

Inside the Actors Studio (1994) is the long-running craft interview show you can watch online on iFILM. Host James Lipton turned a drama-school seminar into a deep, unhurried conversation about acting itself.

Across the years Lipton sat down with Anthony Hopkins, Susan Sarandon, Harvey Keitel, Whoopi Goldberg, Jack Lemmon and dozens more. Each guest walks through their childhood, early flops and breakthroughs while students fill the seats and take notes. Every episode closes the same way: Lipton's ten-question Bernard Pivot questionnaire, from a guest's favorite curse word to what they'd want to hear at the pearly gates.

Airing on Bravo and built around the students of the Actors Studio Drama School, the series picked up a long string of Emmy nominations. If you'd rather hear a star talk shop than plug a release, this is the rare show built entirely around that. Stream Inside the Actors Studio online on iFILM.
