A fascinating series featuring leading Hollywood and showbusiness stars, as they return to their old training-ground - the legendary Actor's Studio - for in-depth, revealing interviews in front of an audience of today's students, tomorrow's stars. Tommy Lee Jones, the son of a cowboy in Texas, was one of the outstanding football players of his year at Harvard University and was expected to follow the athletic route. His love for acting, however, led to an inspiring meeting with James Earl Jones and the youngster was hooked. After years of relative obscurity he won an Emmy for The Executioner's Song, an Oscar nomination for JFK and finally he found global fame and an Oscar with The Fugitive. Further critical and popular successes followed for films like Cobb, and Men In Black. Here Jones, one of the most realistic, down-to-earth of speakers, reveals the hard road to the top.
