Diddy on “Inside The Actor’s Studio”: “I didn’t just play a record executive…[my character] is tri-polar”
Posted by Miss Info under Good For Hip Hop , Quotes , Videos[18] Comments
Diddy appears on the legendary “Inside The Actor’s Studio” interview series tonight (Tues, May 25th) at 7pm EST on Bravo, facing off with James Lipton. In this preview, Diddy tells James that he drew from his own personality for his role as a demanding record exec in Judd Apatow’s Get Him To The Greek but also 3 other real-life rap industry tyrants. Hmm…who? Dame has a big personality. Russell is a famed screamer. Puff’s former bottle-joustee? More than likely, it’s folks we wouldn’t expect, like Irving Azoff (of the arguably monopolizing Ticketmaster/LiveNation merger). (Thanks to Maggie/BadBoy for the clip!)
I’m interested in seeing the sitdown, but with these two, you know there will be much incredulous hyperbole…
An example after the jump…and more bonus clips from Diddy x James Lipton
From the Bravo TV press release:
“This is one of my most revealing and insightful interviews to date. It really captures my personal and professional life in the purest and most honest way. As I continue on this journey, I hope to make great films that will entertain the world,” states Sean “Diddy” Combs.
James Lipton concurs, “This episode is one of the most remarkable and satisfying portraits of an artist in the sixteen-year history of the series.”

Dave Chappelle hosts the 200th episode of Inside the Actors Studio
Diddy talks about the roles that he was offered that were rapper-typical, but he was determined to get his supporting role in Monster’s Ball, and campaigned at Halle’s door for it.
Diddy calls himself a good luck charm, because of his experiences working on the play Raisin in the Sun, and the movie Monster’s Ball: “At least I know if you’re a woman and you play against me, you’re gonna win an award…”

ive watched many eps, and the dave chappelle one was incredible. and so many others like scorcese, leo, etc….so I’m just a lil’ incredulous about Lipton’s grand statement about Diddy’s sit down

Actors all over the world are shaking their heads, im sure for them this show has jumped the shark credibility wise.

This looks really good! Glad to see Diddy taking something like Inside the Actor’s Studio so seriously. Get Him To The Greek looks hilarious too btw.

This will be interesting, I am definitely tunning in. I think that Diddy is a hardworker and never really has the time to do a thorough interview like such. Can’t wait to watch.

I’m with you. Let’s see where he takes us on it. To Lipton’s credit, he has a skill to host without “hosting” and lets the guest set the tone…As long as Puffy doesn’t scream “Diddy Blog!” several times…It should be ok…one can hope.
p.s. The Pacino one was also a personal fave…dude came on to teach…

They just devalued that great peogram…..

Puff ain’t no rapper, he a snake oil salesman…..

That’s a great look for Diddy. Def would like to see him in more movies. I saw the screening for this and it was hilarious

hahah! P. Diddy is great. He is not just a businessman, a hip-hop mogul but he is a good actor. Keep it up Diddy!!! I’m sure your movie will rock this summer.

at this point, i think diddy should focus more on his movie career. i know, i know he has some ways to go but ya gotta give it up – the man knows how to do a comedy. as for that british playa, heck, hes no brotha of mine, but hes alright

I do believe all the ideas you have presented for your post. They are very convincing and can definitely work. Nonetheless, the posts are too quick for starters.

The most underrated element of a SPORTS ILLUSTRATED Swimsuit shoot? It is a glossy black box about the size of a car battery. It holds no bikinis, no brushes, no little cartons of coconut water. It cannot be opened. But snap an iPod onto the dock at its top and it will release hiphop. Or indie pop. Or Rihanna’s Rude Boy. Whatever a model needs to hear to get her body bumping.
