This review is from: How to Get Arrested: A Motivational Story for Actors Breaking Into Hollywood (Paperback)

I was so surprised at what a great book this is for actors. It breaks down what to do and how to do it. Most industry book tell actors "Go get an agent" and then B.S. with more empty advise - THEY DO NOT TELL YOU HOW TO GET THE AGENT!!!! This book does! It also tells you how to get the job! This book is more important for actors than any acting class in LA or New York City. THANKS MICHAEL J.WALLACH AND BRAVO!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Standing Ovation, August 11, 2007

This review is from: How to Get Arrested: A Motivational Story for Actors Breaking Into Hollywood (Paperback)

As I was reading "How To Get Arrested," I thought about how skilled we all are at putting on our own personal variety `show' to get what we want out of life. Dick and Jane, the central characters in this parable, put on a variety of `shows' to achieve their goal of relocating to Hollywood. Once they land in Tinsel Town, they attempt to turn their personal `shows' into a Professional Show Business Career. It doesn't take them very long to discover that there is a right way and a wrong way to launch a professional career. As Dick and Jane pursue their dream of becoming stars, it is fascinating to watch one of them reach out and acquire professional skills that ultimately results in success, as the other isolates and keeps putting on their same old `act' that quickly results in failure. I laughed. I cried. And as I finished the last page, I smiled and thought about the fact that if I had read this book thirty years ago, it would have dramatically reduced the time it took me to make it. This is a show-stopping book, worthy of a standing ovation; a must-read for the aspiring entertainer.

This review is from: How to Get Arrested: A Motivational Story for Actors Breaking Into Hollywood (Paperback)

I've read a lot of acting books how to study this technique, that technique, when you get to Hollywood or New York what you need to know is "How to Get Arrested"... How to make it, survive, get your SAG card, an agent, a manager.

This brilliant book that Michael Wallach has put together is an easy read while focusing on the steps of success to making it in show business. What you need to bring to the table is yourself and "How to get Arrested" once you get to LA or NY. "How to Get Arrested" has the answers for you. If my niece was moving out here to be an actress, I would give her a big hug and hand her a copy of Michael Wallach book!
