Praise for The Working Actor: Pat Skipper's The Working Actor is a practical, easy-to-follow, sometimes unconventional and often hilarious guide for actors at all levels based on the real-world experiences of a true Hollywood veteran. I've worked with Pat Skipper on both my TV series and the guy delivered on every take. This made him stand out as a go-to guy. His insights on the business and the craft of acting are well earned and invaluable to anyone who wants to become a professional and always working actor. -Bestselling author & Producer Michael Connelly (Bosch, The Lincoln Lawyer ) A powerful message to all actors, both novice and veteran alike. This book is a breath of fresh air, written by someone who has walked the walk. It's a healthy (and welcome) dose of 'tough love' and should be a part of every serious actor's library. -Billy DaMota, CSA (Hollywood Casting Director) Excellent, thoughtful and fresh advice. I just kept laughing my ass off. I would absolutely recommend The Working Actor not only to those thinking of trying a career in film and TV but to those of us who need to reevaluate our situations, give ourselves a kick in the ass, discover something new or be reminded of what we were doing that was working for us before. It is so much fun to read. -Kurtwood Smith (That '70s Show) Anytime anyone asks me what they need to do as a new actor, I'll tell them, "Buy a copy of The Working Actor and read the hell out of it!" This is a gutsy, funny, straightforward, bawdy, and indispensable book. -Jim Beaver (Deadwood, Justified, Supernatural) Get off your ass!! Pat Skipper's wonderful book is a feast of useful information and entertaining stories that will help any actor, new or seasoned, be a better actor, and with a little work, a better human being. Do something! Start by reading this book. -Troy Evans (Bosch, E.R.) Pat Skipper pulls no punches describing acting as a contact sport. As refreshing and exciting as a cold, hard, slap in the face; Welcome to show-biz!" -Mark Moses (Mad Men, Desperate Housewives) A well-written book about the Working Actor's craft. Pat doesn't pull any punches. Every young actor should have a read. -Joel McKinnon Miller (Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Big Love)
