I hope it is given out as a guidebook of sorts to any young actor when they land at LAX."â€"Jon Hamm "In The Actor's Life, Jenna Fischer lays out exactly what aspiring actors can expect from this crazy, unpredictable industry both practically and emotionally. Nothing is sugar-coated, nor is it cynical. It's just reality, plain and simple. At every level of success, we are all just artists trying to figure it out day by day. That’s the truth."â€"Christina Applegate "If I had Jenna's book when I was a struggling actor it would have eased the pain and encouraged my journey. This is an insightful, funny, sweet story from one actor to another; we all need a leg up, a hand to hold, and the encouragement to keep going when we truly find our passion. Jenna manages to do that and more in this very helpful guide for an actor finding their way into the business."â€"Julianna Margulies "How lucky for those who dream that Jenna Fischer has written this book and candidly explained the hard work, persistence, and delusion required to become a working actor. This book is generous, practical, and in the right hands will be a talisman for the deserving few who refuse to give up."â€"Matthew Weiner, creator of Mad Men "Jenna Fischer's story is an excellent resource for anyone who is involved in the life of an actor. Much of this information was new to me; I have always respected the actor's journey, but now I am in awe of it. It's also entertaining from beginning to end."â€"Allison Jones, Casting Director Read more About the Author Jenna Fischer is best known for playing Pam Beesly on the acclaimed television show The Office, for which she received an Emmy nomination for Best Supporting Actress and two SAG Awards for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble Comedy.  After wrapping The Office, Fischer went on to star in the UK/SKY B limited series You, Me and the Apocalypse along with Rob Lowe and Megan Mullally.

The Actor's Life: A Survival Guide by Jenna Fischer
The Actor's Life: A Survival Guide by Jenna Fischer is Years ago, Jenna Fischer wrote a great post on her MySpace page detailing her advice for aspiring actors. It was the best thing I'd ever read on the topic; I immediately sent it to several friends and still have a copy saved on my phone today. The roots of The Actor's Life: A Survival Guide are clearly in that original post, but this book is so much more.Part memoir, part how-to-guide, Jenna walks you through her journey from Midwest dreamer to working actor, not shying away from the ups-and-(many) downs in the life of an aspiring artist. She's honest about her struggles and mistakes, as well as the smart decisions she made that helped her take advantage of the career opportunities that eventually appeared. Her advice for new actors starting out today was clearly well-researched and not just based on her own experiences trying to make it before she was cast as Pam in The Office.Besides Jenna herself, the stars are Molly Shannon and Topher Grace, both of whom went out of their way to encourage and inspire her in the early years of her career when she needed it the most. That same encouragement and inspiration is what Jenna has given everyone who reads this book, but she goes beyond that with real, actionable advice that makes the dream of becoming an actor actually feel possible.That's the true gift of The Actor's Life: A Survival Guide. And I couldn't recommend it more highly.
The Actor's Life: A Survival Guide by Jenna Fischer is Jenna is a "what you see is what you get" person. Very uncommon in Hollywood. I'm not an aspiring actor (actually retired cop) but she is true and honest in anything I've seen related to her. As an addicted "Office Fan" I believe she could write "An Office Memoir" and it would be an immediate best seller. This was such a fun read and I was exhausted after seeing what an actor has to go through just to get to where you can make a living. I'm glad she made it and am thankful to her and the rest of The Office crew for all the laughs that I continue to enjoy over and over and over.....again. True Office fans know what I mean.
The Actor's Life: A Survival Guide by Jenna Fischer is Thank you, Jenna Fischer! I truly loved this book. It speaks the truth about this business from a wonderful perspective of a working actor. The real struggles. The victories that are unseen to others outside our world. I loved this book because1) it’s entertaining as hell. Funny & honest. Jenna is likable & lovely on every page. This is not a boring how to break into acting book, nor is it some celebrity dropping names & espousing how great it all is. This real & relatable.2) it’s a guide book. All actors have their own journey & path to follow. No 2 are exactly alike. There are no exact steps & timelines to success. But guidance is key along the way. That’s what Jenna provides. Guidance along this crazy chosen path. Letting us in on the her personal struggles, experiences, & wins along the way.As an actor, I have many days that I struggle with my career. I feel like I’ve been doing it forever but not getting anywhere. And then there are days I feel like I’m doing ok. Jenna puts a lot of things into perspective. Also it gives me drive in this new year. So if you’re a total newbie trying to break in or a veteran of the biz making headway, I know this book will be a wonderful resource for you.
The Actor's Life: A Survival Guide by Jenna Fischer is I've read dozens of books about acting and the "biz." Jenna's book is informative, practical and an easy read. I love her honesty and that she tells her story--warts and all. I've been a casting director for 35 years so I know that her info is right on. (By way, I love the kudos she gives to her casting mentor, Allison Jones.) One of the most important things she shares for new arrivals in LA: join a theatre company, an improv group, an acting class. Do ANYTHING you need to do to find your tribe; otherwise, you'll spend your first years in LA lonely and crazy while you're waiting for that phone to ring.
