Inside the Actors' Studio

Inside the Actors' Studio is a US TV programme in which a guy called James Lipton conducts in-depth interviews with actors of note. The wikipedia description of the show, containing a list of all those interviewed is here.

The interviews are about 50 minutes long and, although I've only seen a few of them, are fascinating because they go into significant depth about the craft of acting, preparation for roles and so on.

Here's a link to a YouTube clip of a section of an interview with Jodie Foster. I picked Jodie Foster because ... erm ... (blush) ... I ... erm ... think she's great!

If your appetite has been whetted, here's how you find more: click on this link - sham420 - and scroll down the right hand side of the page. There are loads of great actors here (and then there's Sylvester Stallone!)

I'm going to pick out a few over the next while and I'll link them directly to the Irish Board's You Tube Channel which, if you haven't visited it yet, is here
