Book Reviews of It Would Be So Nice If You Weren't Here: My Journey Through Show Business
Book Review: An EXCELLENT Look at Life as an Actor
Summary: 4 Stars
Really, this book should be on every aspiring actors bookself. If you are considering becoming an actor, nothing can be substituted for taking classes and seeing if you really like doing it, but in terms of really getting an idea of what that life is like and what to expect, biographies are essential and this is one of the Kings of them all.
The book really is an autobiography, but being that pretty much his entire life was spent in show business, its a good guide as to what to do and how to overcome the many and constant rejections involved in a life in the business.
Seriously, this really is a must read.
