Zen and the Art of Being a Professional Actor

With wit, courage, tenderness, and honesty, John Walcutt has created a book that can (and should) be read over and over. It expresses so many truths not just about acting, but about how to lead an open-hearted, unpretentious, fulfilling life. While acknowledging that being an actor can be a royal pain in the ass (rejection much?), Walcutt's book expresses a Zen-like hope and gratitude that reminds us that the journey is the destination. Read this book now! It's like taking a bath in warm chocolate pudding. If you're into that sort of thing.
