    Sally Hawkins - I have yet to see any kind of prying and intelligent interview be conducted with her this year and there isn't a film lover out there who wouldn't want to hear more about Leigh's film making process or about Happy-Go-Lucky in general.

    Will Ferrell.....as James Lipton
  • Jonathan Mince · 10 months ago
    James Cameron. I want to know what Lipton thinks of the man who not only makes great films, but will revolutionize the way we see films in the future.
  • Carolyn G · 10 months ago
    CHris cooper. One of the most underrated actors around.
  • Jeff · 10 months ago
    Danny Elfman because I would love to hear more about his scores, especially to the Tim Burton films and to Peter Jackson's The Frighteners.
  • Raz · 10 months ago
    Sidney Poitier. I recall he hasn't been on before.
  • Shannon Sanford · 10 months ago
    Sinead O'Connor for her role as the Virgin Mary in Neil Jordan's The Butcher Boy.
  • Divya Daswani · 10 months ago
    Jermaine Clement and Bret Mckenzie of Flight of the Conchords, as no one can have enough of them. Also they don't do much press and might just disappear after the second season of their show.
  • Rohit Tharani · 10 months ago
    Zach Galifianakis, because he is interesting, and because he could secretly place two ferns around them when Lipton was going on about wanting tattoos and Lipton would unwittingly be trapped, between two ferns. Also they could discuss beards.
  • D Rock · 10 months ago
    Kevin Smith. The guy is great when he is just on stage talking by himself, god knows it'd be great to let Lipton digging into his Jersey filled past.
  • Ryan · 10 months ago
    Trey Parker and Matt Stone

  • Jason_r1984 · 10 months ago
    I would really like to see James Lipton interview, Sean Connery, just because I think that would probably be the best Inside the Actors studio ever.
    James Lipton: "So Mr. Connery, what is your favorite curse words."
    Sean Connery: "In-the-arse"
    James Lipton: "Mr. Connery, I diligently and with the utmost respect have to tell you that in-the-arse, is neither a curse word, or a word even, it is three put together.
    Sean Connery:: "Well I still like saying in-the-arse!!!"
    James Lipton: "Well I don't like it"
    Sean Connery: "Like what?"
    James Lipton: "In-the-arse"
    Sean Connery: "Hahaha, I bet you don't!!!
    Lipton: "Oh, Mr. Connery how absolutely revolting, I have you know back in 65' I interviewed a very lovely and vivacious young women, whose name I wont say, but we spent the night together enjoying fine chardonnay, and the best caviar you could ever...."
    Sean Connery: What a fagot. hahaha I got you good, suck it Lipton!!!!"

    David Chappelle-Again. Them together are brillant. They are true friends.
  • Pete · 10 months ago
    The Broken Lizard Crew. I think it'd be really interesting and funny to talk to these guys. Plus they have a pretty deep history of work. DO IT!!!
  • Grant · 10 months ago
    I'd like to see Albert Finney. His work is amazing and I would love to hear about how he got into the business.
  • Julian · 10 months ago
    I would have liked to see Heath Ledger interviewed during filming of Dark Knight. With his tragic death so many facts surrounding his work on that film became so over blown and in some cases fictional. I'd love to hear it straight from Heaths mouth how he approached the character and methods involved in his transformation. And I dont mean that out of blind Ledger worship, I was genuinley impressed by his, for the first time in a longtime, and I would love to know what an actor does to reach that level of familiarity with such a dark character.
  • George · 10 months ago
    Orson Welles. Maybe he could have a seance. But seriously, I think it would make a great invterview if it could have happened.
  • Peter · 10 months ago
    River Phoenix
  • Wilma · 10 months ago
    Bill Pullman. He is one of the most underrated actors of our time. Mr. Pullman has the ability of transporting audiences into the lives of the characters he plays. One of the most mesmerizing roles that he has played was in Edward Albee's The Goat or Who is Sylvia? Truly deserving of all the accolades he received for that part.
  • Alex B. · 10 months ago
    Mr. Baird, my high school drama teacher. He made such an impact on so many kids lives.
  • BillyJack · 10 months ago
    Anderson Cooper - because he has had such a fabulous life, going places, seeing things and meeting people. I thinkit would be absolutely fantastic!
  • Shawn · 10 months ago
    The cast from "Family Guy" because I love the show and would be very interested in hearing what goes into each actor's particular character performance.
  • Jane Hixon · 10 months ago
    Jack Nicholson.....so interesting and such a long successful career....
  • Karen Gonyea · 10 months ago
    Bruce Campbell :)
  • Curtis · 10 months ago
    Kevin Smith would be awesome to see interviewed. But I would have to go with Zooey Deschanel as my most wanted interview. Lipton would do her justice. Letterman interviewed her and was a complete dick. She is refreshing and different in a world of clones. Her movies, music, and style are all amazing. I would like to hear about 500 Days of Summer too, can't wait to see it.
  • Jen S. · 10 months ago
    Dennis Leary - he is a riot and interesting too.
  • Patricia Clow · 10 months ago
    I am sorry there was no interview of Charleton Heston so that recent generations could see that he was not only the NRA spokesman, but had the courage to stand with MLK when few whites did!
  • mverno · 10 months ago
    brad pitt he's my fantast man i just love him
  • keith james · 10 months ago

  • christopher h · 10 months ago
    kevin smith, he does a great job giving speeches, would love to see him interviewed by lipton
  • Janna Heckathorn · 10 months ago
    Leonardo DiCaprio, because of Titanic, What's Eating Gilbert Grape, The Aviator, and so much more. He is definitely one of the greater character actors and picks a variety of roles to portray.
  • Tom · 10 months ago
    Larry King would be a fun interview! :)
  • Linda · 10 months ago

    Will Ferrell!
  • Meredith Rowe · 10 months ago
    Adam Sandler. I love his personality and sense of humor....and he's have great answers!
  • Jeanette Jackson · 10 months ago
    I would love to see him interview Christopher Lee. He has been in so many movies with so many wonderful actors that I'm sure he must have numerous stories to tell.
  • April · 10 months ago
    I also have to go with Elizabeth Taylor. She could talk about the Golden Age of Hollywood. Was Louis B. Mayer the tyrant he's said to be. What legends like Katharine Hepburn, Judy Garland, and James Dean were really like. How tall was Alan Ladd? She could settle the argument once and for all whether or not Montgomery Cliff was gay. She could also talk about her great work in raising research money for AIDS and overall just how much the entire movie industry and what it means to be a celebrity has changed throughout the years. Despite all of the ups and downs in her personal life, she was/is a great actress.
  • Dave · 10 months ago
    Brendan Fraser. I think he is such an under-appreciated actor. Thank you for the great give-away.
  • Douglas · 10 months ago

    Jack Black, He is the new Robin Williams.
  • Lyndsey H · 9 months ago
    Although it's been mentioned a few times, I would love to see Kevin Smith interviewed. He's a genius but that's not why I would want to see him. I want to see him because he's so inappropriate all the time, that I think it would make for a lively episode!
  • Gabriel J. · 9 months ago
    Stephen Colbert of the Colbert Report

    Christopher Walken. I'm sure he probably has before but I could watch and listen to him for hours. He is an amazing, multi-talented man.

    Joaquin Pheonix
  • Eva Cappuccilli · 9 months ago
    Mel Brooks. That old bastard not only is hysterical, but he epitomizes my childhood. He's a writer, director, and actor, he lived through WWII, and he's worked with all the comedy greats. Lipton is probably the only interviewer I can think of equipped to handle someone as epic as Brooks.
  • Matt Bacon · 9 months ago
    I would love to see James Lipton interview John Lasseter. The Pixar story has always been compelling, and the feats Lassiter accomplished to help Pixar rise to the top were amazing. Not everyone in movies wants to go into live action, and John Lasseter knows this. It would be nice to hear from that side of the spectrum.
  • Angela P · 9 months ago
    I have been a fan of Richard Chamberlin. Not sure if he has been on before, but I would be quite interested.

    I would love to see Mr. Lipton interview Hugh Laurie. Which you may have already done in the past. I can't remember because you have interviewed so many of my favorites. But, I would love to be in the audience with Hugh Laurie there.

    Definitely Mickey Rourke -- the trajectory his career has taken is really fascinating, and he never fails to give an interesting interview full of fascinating stories and out-of-left-field observations and statements. I think that would make for a riveting hour of television!
