James Lipton, best known for his role as creator and host of “Inside the Actors Studio,” died Monday at his home. He was 93.

Lipton took on a number of roles, including actor, writer and producer, since his career began in the 1950s on Broadway. He starred in shows such as “Guiding Light.”

But Lipton, who studied performing arts for 12 years, was best known for his role in the creation of “Inside the Actors Studio” in 1994. The show’s rotating slot of guest hosts interviewed world-renowned actors in the Actors Studio Drama School.

Lipton retired from the series in 2018, 24 years after its original release, according to Vanity Fair.

The drama school moved from New School to Pace University in 2006, where Lipton served as dean emeritus.

“It’s very gratifying to see the legacy of Inside the Actors Studio being carried forward for a new generation to appreciate and enjoy,” Lipton said at the time. “I made a vow early on that we would not deal in gossip — only in craft, and Ovation, as a network dedicated to the arts, will continue that tradition with the next seasons of the series.”
