JoeinAR 1,949 Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 BRAVO PRESENTS: INSIDE THE ACTOR'S STUDIO Hosted by James LiptonJL: Welcome, welcome, tonight our guest is the luminary John Williams. Film composer of such film scores as Jaws, Star Wars, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and Harry Potter.Please everyone welcome John WilliamsJW: Thank you, thank you everyone.JL: Lets get started shall we, your father Len was a renowned musician and guitarist, how did you get from Australia to the United StatesJW: I think you are confusing me with John Williams the guitarist.JL: Really, your not the same, that might explain why I couldn't figure out how come you didn't look Chinese.JW: I'm an American, the other John Williams had the Chinese mother.JL: So then you didn't make your debut in Wigmore Hall in London, in 1958. JW: As I said that is the other John WilliamsJL: Oh I am sorry, but you did do the film Sabrina.JW: yes, yes I did.JL: you played Thomas Fairchild, Sabrina's fatherJW: No, no that is John Williams the actor. I composed the music to the remake starring Harrison Ford.JL: under his breath, wish I had Harrison hereJW: Did you say something?JL: No, I was just clearing my throat. You are familiar with classical music.JW: Of course, its a large part of my life, I listen to and compose classical style music all the time.JL: With out a doubt, I remember those wonderful commercials you used to do selling the classical music records before cd's. Why did you stop when cd's came out?JW: James once again you are confusing me with John Williams the actor, he hawked those records.JL: I am terrible sorry, please forgive me, now your life has been mostly positive, but lets look at one of the more unpleasant aspects of your life. Could you expound on the point shaving incident you were involved in when you played basketball for Tulane University?JW: I am not that John Williams, I am the film composer, not the classical guitarist, not the actor, and certainly not a cheating ball player.JL: I am terribly sorry John, terribly sorry. I am also sorry to hear your legal troubles continue in Washington DC, Maryland and Virginia. Why did you shoot all those people?JW: I am not that JOHN WILLIAMS, I have never shot anyone, though I am feeling rather agressive at the moment.JL: That might explain why your not in jail.JW: Do you even have a clue to who I am.JL: As I said at the beginning you are that guy who wrote the music to Jaws and Star Wars.JW: And...JL: You won an Oscar for the Omen, and Titanic.JW: I am out of here, thanks for nothing.JL: Well folks there you have it, another tempermental "Star" if you can call him that. He does have alot of baggage, I hope I wasn't too hard on him.This has been Inside the Actor's Studio, with your host James Lipton.

JoeinAR 1,949 Posted February 24, 2004 Author Share Posted February 24, 2004 I utterly loathe James Lipton with his comb over and store bought tan, and his slobbering over his guests as if they were gods.But I loved the SNL spoof with Alex Baldwin as Charles Nelson Riley.
