Guest guest Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 I wonder if Lipton (of Actors' Studio interview series) an Aspie? 1. His voice is amazingly monotonous even when he's clearly excited about a guest. The most extreme emotion he'll ever display is a discreet smile when he's really delighted. 2. He rarely re-connects with the interviewee after s/he has replied to a question. More social interviewers like Parkinson or Jay Leno always make an appropriate (or appropriately inappropriate) comment or a follow-up question so that it becomes more like a smooth conversation with pleasantries going back and forth than an interview. But Lipton just darts out the next question on his laundry list as if doing a tax audit or police interrogation, which cuts the harmonious flow into a bit of a staccato, but also keeps things on track, gets all the person's films commented on in a limited time and precludes the interview sailing away into non-productive chattiness or irrelevant side-tracks. Very special kind of charm. Inger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
