Description
A How-To for Actors as no book has been before, Here is indispensible information for actors told through a charming story rather than in the ususal textbook style. This is the tale of two young actors as they embark on the same journey as thousands of hopefuls each year. Dick and Jane move to Hollywood to become working actors -- maybe even "stars." They arrive in Hollywood not knowing anyone in power - does this mean they are sunk before they even get started? They aren't gorgeous -- will they be rejected? What are the right choices? One makes fame-based, out-sized choices, auditioning only for producers and directors. The other makes reasoned choices, creating a game plan for success and being content with each modest step forward. One does it the right way and the other the wrong way. Which one succeeds? With great affection for actors and deep insight into the hurdles they face, the author gives accessible answers to all the questions actors ask. "Myths Demystified!" A special bonus section shatters misconceptions about the path to success.
