L.A. from A to Z: The Actor's Guide to Surviving and Succeeding in Los Angeles

by Thomas Mills and Tom Mills

"Actors need the acceptance of unknowing. That's a legitimate job tool." So says Thomas Mills whose twenty years in the profession-eight of them in LA-have made him something of a philosopher, but even better an insider. Author of the "Tombudsman" and "Working Actor" columns for BackstageWest, Mills knows acting. He knows Los Angeles. And he knows what it takes to survive there-and even thrive. He now shares his knowledge in LA from A to Z.

concise and precise

Thomas Mills answers the myriad of questions that an Actor might have regarding potential for success in the field of acting....An altruistic tour with useful quotes from people in the industry.

Three thumbs up!!
