Lonely, depressed, confused, and spending hours a day contemplating
suicide in my little eight-by-eight den. At the age of forty-two,
this is what my life has become. At the age of thirty, I had a
nervous breakdown and overdosed on several bottles of medication.
The next day my wife found me unconscious on the floor, and I was
rushed to the emergency room, after which I spent several days in
the hospital. Then I was taken to a mental institution. During my
month-long stay there, I was diagnosed with a bipolar disorder. The
rest, they say, is history; but in my case, the rest is misery.

"Gloriously witty, keen and spirited" J.J. Abrams, Director of Star
Wars: The Rise of Skywalker "The odds of me ever writing a book
were approximately... Oh, never mind. My golden companion worries
about such things - I don't. I have indeed now written a book -
telling my story, in my voice, not his - recognising that our
voices and our stories are inextricably intertwined." When Star
Wars burst on to the big screen in 1977, an unfailingly polite
golden droid called C-3PO captured imaginations around the globe.
But C-3PO wasn't an amazing display of animatronics with a unique
and unforgettable voiceover. Inside the metal costume was an actor
named Anthony Daniels. In this deeply personal memoir, Anthony
Daniels recounts his experiences of the epic cinematic adventure
that has influenced pop culture for more than 40 years. For the
very first time, he candidly describes his most intimate memories
as the only actor to appear in every Star Wars film - from his
first meeting with George Lucas to the final, emotional days on the
set of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. With a foreword by J.J.
Abrams and never-before-seen photography, this book is a nostalgic
look back at the Skywalker saga as it comes to a close. I Am C-3PO:
The Inside Story reveals Anthony Daniels' vulnerability, how he
established his role and what he accomplished, and takes readers on
a journey that just happens to start in a galaxy far, far away.
As a young child, Anthony Daniels dreamed of becoming a
professional hockey player. He was on track to becoming a
professional athlete, till one day a freak car accident ended his
hockey career. He was accepted to Fordham University to study
business and pre-law, when Anthony developed an itch starting at
his toes that quickly moved up his body. Following several tests,
Anthony was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma. Despite his
prognosis, Anthony fought his cancer into remission twice within
two years. Anthony was born an athlete, not competing was
unacceptable for him. Anthony was introduced to boxing. Something
he never thought he could do while battling cancer. Not soon after,
Anthony found himself at a boxing gym, training as an athlete
again. When his cancer returned for the third and even fourth time,
Anthony never gave up. Following high doses of chemotherapy and
radiation treatment that would have anyone in bed for days, Anthony
would train for several hours at the boxing gym. In 2018, while
battling Hodgkin's Lymphoma for the fifth time, Anthony was also
diagnosed with brain cancer. His credit of surviving cancer over
five times was based on his strength and endurance. There is no
cure for Anthony, and he is ready to tell people his story. In The
Fight, Anthony's message is clear; make the decision to never give
up, choose to be strong, and find your purpose despite your
circumstances.
