Posted: 3/26/06 at 10:03pmI want to see a season (or more practically from a network standpoint, one episode per season) where the show interviews a fully non-name working actor. Preferably an actor of the stage, but also film/television.
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

LOL! I honestly expected to open the thread and it read "Rosie O'Donnell"!
And I agree. I think they should definitely interview stage actors.

They do interview A-list actors who have done Broadway. They recently did Nathan Lane & Matthew Broderick together, and also Liza Minelli. But they also did films.
It'd be great, yes, if they include more "Broadway" names, but my thought was to interview successful no-name actors who do a lot of regional work.

Posted: 3/26/06 at 10:58pmI couldn't agree more. It's like rubbing salt in a wound when I see the low caliber of some of the so-called 'actors' they've interviewed on that show. 'Personalities' - yes. But actors? No way.

Posted: 3/26/06 at 11:21pmDid they REALLY have Barbara Walters??? That is EXACTLY why I stopped watching the show.

Upcoming new episodes feature Al Pacino, Dustin Hoffman, Tom Hanks, Don Cheadle, and Robert Downey Jr. See, there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Posted: 3/27/06 at 7:23amAs long as the show has that consummate creep James Lipton conducting the ass-lickings, sorry, interviews, the show will remain unwatchable for me.
