Review from an actor

I thought it was an excellent book. It was a very quick read, which is great because I usually loose interest in an acting book about 30 pages in. I read the book in an afternoon. This is a great book for an actor who is starting out. I really could have used something like this when I was new. However there were a lot of things in this book that were a good reminder to me, so it is actually a great book for a more seasoned actor as well. The stories are inspiring and helpful. Great Book!!!!!!!

Really great book for actors!

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!

A Standing Ovation

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.
