Sometimes preachy, sometimes holier-than-thou, but always lively, An Act of God is the ultimate celebrity autobiography.

Acting Comedy
by Christopher OlsenDespite being roundly cited as much harder to perform than its dramatic counterpart, comic acting is traditionally seen as a performance genre that can’t be taught. At best it is often described as a skill that can only be learned "on the job" through years of practice, or given to a performer through natural talent. Acting Comedy is an effort to examine this idea more rigorously by looking at different aspects of the comic actor’s craft. Each chapter is written by an expert in a particular form—from actors and directors to teachers and standup comedians. Topics covered include: how performers work with audiences how comic texts can be enhanced through word and musical rhythm analysis how physical movements can generate comic moments and build character. This book is an invaluable resource for any performer focusing on the minute details of comic acting, even down to exactly how one delivers a joke on stage. Christopher Olsen’s unique collection of comic voices will prove essential reading for students and professionals alike.
Acting: The First Six Lessons
by Richard BoleslavskyActing: The First Six Lessons by Richard Boleslavsky is a classic and enduring guide to the art of acting, offering both aspiring and seasoned performers a deep understanding of the craft. Originally published in 1933, this book is structured as a series of dialogues between a young actress and an experienced director, through which Boleslavsky imparts essential lessons about technique, emotion, and artistic truth.The six lessons—Concentration, Memory of Emotion, Dramatic Action, Characterization, Observation, and Rhythm—form the foundation of Boleslavsky’s method, drawing from his experience in the Moscow Art Theatre and his study under Konstantin Stanislavski. Each lesson encourages actors to engage both mind and body, teaching them how to tap into personal emotions, create authentic characters, and bring nuance to their performances.Through vivid storytelling and insightful examples, Boleslavsky emphasizes the importance of discipline, empathy, and preparation in the actor’s journey. His conversational approach makes complex techniques accessible, guiding readers to explore their inner world, connect with their characters, and fully inhabit the roles they play. While deeply practical, the book also touches on the philosophical aspects of performance, encouraging actors to view their work as both a craft and a form of personal expression.Acting: The First Six Lessons remains a vital resource for actors, directors, and theater enthusiasts, offering timeless wisdom that continues to shape modern acting methods. Boleslavsky’s blend of technical instruction and artistic inspiration makes this book an essential addition to any actor’s library, challenging performers to approach their work with authenticity, emotional depth, and an unwavering commitment to truth.

by John InmanIt’s not easy breaking into show biz. Especially when you aren’t exactly loaded with talent. But Malcolm Fox won’t let a little thing like that hold him back. Actually, it isn’t the show-business part of his life that bothers him as much as the romantic part—or the lack thereof. At twenty-six, Malcolm has never been in love. He lives in San Diego with his roommate, Beth, another struggling actor, and each of them is just as unsuccessful as the other. While Malcolm toddles off to this audition and that, he ponders the lack of excitement in his life. The lack of purpose. The lack of a man. Then Beth’s brother moves in. Freshly imported from Missouri of all places, Cory Williams is a towering hunk of muscles and innocence, and Malcolm is gobsmacked by the sexiness of his new roomie from the start. When infatuation enters the picture, Malcolm knows he’s really in trouble. After all, Cory is straight! At least, that’s the general consensus.
