Book excerpt: Understand the business side of your showbiz career We all know acting can be a glittering whirl of glamour—plush red carpets, simply divine outfits, huge sums of money, and oh, the parties! But what a lot of wannabe actors forget is that it takes a lot of practical work to get to the flashbulbs of your first premiere, and that the savviest actors put as much stress on the business side of the profession as they do on the show.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You have probably never heard of me. There may be a very slight possibility you recognize my name or maybe my face. But I have no delusions. I've always said, "I've sky-rocketed to the middle.” It's a very small percentage of those who become famous. But I never really wanted that. I just wanted to do good work and hopefully follow the path to where I might eventually flourish and ultimately belong. Finding that place is also helpful if someone appreciates your work and opens a door or two for you.I've worked in over forty countries, comedy-toured with some “names,” done some television, a few movies, voiceovers, TV/film puppeteering, off-off-take-a-left-turn-off Broadway, producing, directing, writing, coaching, and I only did restaurant and temp work in my late teens. Many say show business is ungrateful. But what business isn't? Stay for as long as it feeds you and try to make sure you have some money saved for when you can no longer wipe your own ass. And in my experience, try to make enough of a personal life and establish roots for yourself to stay “healthy.” I haven't gotten as far as some, but I've gotten farther than others who have tried to live a show business life. This is a little taste of my attempts to move up the ladder.I hope you like it. These are the highlights of my life...so far.
