This is James Lipton. He is an American writer, poet, and dean emeritus of the Actors Studio Drama School in New York City. He is the executive producer, writer and host of the Bravo cable television series, Inside the Actors Studio.


Lipton is most famous for his dramatic "questions" that he poses to all of his guests on his show.

Know what I think would be fun...if all of you answered Lipton's questions for yourself. And here's the deal...I think this thing will work best if you really try to answer them honestly! Be sure and list your answers with the right "question number" so I can keep track of all the wonder that is YOU!
