Editorial Reviews

Review

Reading Steven Lance's exhaustive, informative and entertaining guide left me humbled but grateful, as I realized that all of us are replaceable but that, somehow, I had managed to keep the same job for seven years! (Michael Gross, Family Ties )

Lance has tracked shifts in casting in shows both obscure and famous...his anecdotes about the cutthroat nature of the TV industry are frequently both funny and revealing. (Entertainment Weekly )
