You know, I am much more likely to be a hermit in a dank, dark cave somewhere, than be on a stage performing for people. But, when I saw Jenna Fischer’s book, “The Actor’s Life: A Survival Guide”, I knew I just had to read it. Because I think Jenna Fischer is . . . really neat. Yes, I am a fan. So much so that I told my wife that if Jenna Fischer were to knock on our door and ask me to run away with her, well, I’d have to consider it. She said that was okay, but the same thing goes for her and James Pankow (trombonist/songwriter for the band Chicago). Anyway, “The Actor’s Life” is an entertaining and informative read that has lots of common sense advice, insight, and encouragement for the aspiring thespian. Jenna includes more than a few anecdotes detailing her struggles to get work and hone her craft. She went eight long years, fueled by determination and grit, believing in herself when it seemed that no one else did, until her big break came along with “The Office”. She had prepared herself to succeed, and while reading her book does not guarantee the success that she has had, I believe that “The Actor’s Life” would be quite useful to those considering a career in show biz. Plus, it was written by Jenna Fischer!
