Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.Sample Book Insights: #1 I was on a set in England, pretending to be in a plane crash. The fires were real, the sheep were real, and the dirt and blood were not. I was lying in a seat, thinking about how crazy and surreal my life is.#2 I grew up in a non-showbusiness family. I didn't know what I wanted to do as a child, but I knew I wanted to be an actor. I auditioned for school plays, but I never got the lead roles. I usually got the supporting roles.#3 As an actor, you must ask yourself two important questions: Why do you want to be an actor. and Why do you want to make a living through acting. If the answer to either of these questions is fame and money, you’re likely to be disappointed.#4 The path to success for most careers is laid out for you. If you're great at the job, you get rewarded. But with acting, there is no justice, no pecking order for advancement. So why does it work for some and not others. A heavy dose of luck.
