Murray Turns Down Actors Studio

LOST IN TRANSLATION star [Bill Murray](https://contactmusic.6lgx.com/bill-murray) has joined [Brad Pitt](https://contactmusic.6lgx.com/brad-pitt) on the small list of stars who have turned down the chance to appear on indepth American chat show INSIDE THE ACTORS STUDIO.

The revered show, hosted by [James Lipton](https://contactmusic.6lgx.com/james-lipton), has featured the best actors working today - talking about their craft and their lives - but Murray has no wish to appear.

He says, "I met that guy (Lipton) a while ago and he said, `You're never gonna do the show, are you?' I guess I've been invited before, but I always had a problem with it being called Inside The Actors Studio.

"It always bothered me. And when he called the show Inside The Actors Studio - well, what are you talking to [Meg Ryan](https://contactmusic.6lgx.com/meg-ryan) for, or any number of these people they've got now who couldn't find the Actors Studio with a phone book."

Pitt recently announced he had been approached to appear on the show but turned the opportunity down because he didn't think he was experienced enough.
