For nearly a decade, Jackie Apodaca and Michael Kostroff shared
duties as advice columnists for the actors' trade paper, Backstage.
Their highly popular weekly feature, "The Working Actor," fielded
questions from actors all over the country. A cross between "Dear
Abby" and The Hollywood Reporter, their column was a fact-based,
humorous, compassionate take on the questions actors most wanted
answered. Using some of their most interesting, entertaining, and
informative columns as launch points, Answers from "The Working
Actor" guides readers through the ins and outs (and ups and downs)
of the acting industry. Apodaca and Kostroff share an approach that
is decidedly "on the ground." They've both labored in the trenches
just like their readers-dealing with auditions, classes, photos,
resumes, rehearsals, contract negotiations, representatives, jobs,
challenging colleagues, and the search for that elusive life/career
balance. There are few absolutes in the acting profession and
virtually no proven and reliable steps. Unlike books that claim to
offer "Quick Steps to a Successful Acting Career," Answers from
"The Working Actor" deals honestly with the realities, providing
facts, options, strategies, stories, points of view, and the wisdom
of experience, while ultimately challenging readers to make their
own decisions. This book will give new actors a head start on their
journeys and remind experienced professionals that, in the acting
business, there is never only one answer to any question.
