| Publisher Description: Anyone who thinks working actors have a soft life should think harder, and read this book. In fact, being an unemployed actor in Hollywood is no bed of ... well, newspaper, though it can certainly end up as one Rob Foster's "Hollywoodn't - The Mad March To Stardumb" will leave you laughing and perhaps a bit enlightened about the strange, alternate universe that wanna-be actors and performers must navigate in the pursuit of their show business dream, if they are courageous enough to venture to Hollywood with no connections, no references, no day job, no uncle or cousin already in the industry, or even a pal with a spare bedroom. Author Rob Foster - actor, writer, prize-winning filmmaker and winner of the 2006 "Aristocrats" joke contest - relives some of his cracked "year-one" adventures while on just such a mission. Maniacal agents, uninhibited managers, pokerfaced show runners, dangerous landlords - and even an occasional stray celebrity - make memorable cameos in this epic of one normal guy's journey to make sense of a world where "normal" is the most subjective term of all. |
