Here’s the authoritative book that reveals what it takes to work and be successful on a Hollywood set. A veteran of TV and Film, Carlson deals with the unique realities of shooting on film. The book covers information that is very difficult to come by, yet every actor is expected to know it all the first time he or she sets foot on a set.

This 2nd Edition goes further, focusing on the realities of life as an actor, answering questions the author has been asked hundreds of times by readers of the 1st edition: How far can you go? How good can you get? How do you deal with the rejection and the lack of security? How do you prepare to give yourself the best chance of success and actually enjoy yourself along the way?

And so this new book is an even more indispensable guide to one of the most unique journeys you can take.

"An absolute must for the library of any beginning actor, seasoned pro, or cinema buff. You'll laugh and learn a great deal from this book!" - Sally Dennison, Casting Director, Close Encounters Of The Third Kind, The Accused, China Syndrome
