ENDORSEMENTS for ACTING & OTHER FLYING LESSONS
“Gary has written a great practical guide to everything you need to know as an actor on a film set! Fun, funny, and very informative.â€
-- Catherine Bell, actress, J.A.G.
“I have been a professional actor for 20 something years - stage, screen and television - and I have rarely come across a book that offers such clear, specific, and usable information. There’s nothing esoteric here, no baffling sense memory exercises, no windy explication of Stanislavskian principles; merely (!) ‘sense and sensibility’, the kind of advise that will help any aspiring actor know what to do on a set - and more importantly what not to do. Wise words, that celebrate a true ethos of professionalism, one that Gary well embodies in his own work. Bravo!
-- John Billinglsley, actor, STAR TREK, ENTERPRISE
“The humor, the insight. This book is wonderful.â€
-- Dr. Robert Cohen, lecturer and author of “ACTING PROFESSIONALLYâ€
“Fantstic! This book made me proud to be an actor again.â€

"Kudos for Gary Graham!! Virtually a GPS for the actor in Hollywood, or anywhere else for that matter. I found myself saying, "Yes! Yes! I know exactly what you mean!" The situations and Gary's insightful remedies are right on. Truth be known, I've taken some tips for the present! I truly wish I had this book when I was starting out."
-- David James Elliot, actor, J.A.G
“Besides being insightfully profound and entertaining, I found every page to express every feeling I’ve ever had working on a film set. Gary just had the guts to put it down on paper.â€
-- James Fitzpatrick, actor, writer, producer J.A.G., SUPERNATURAL
“In his new book, Gary Graham offers the best actor’s guide I’ve ever read. Sprinkled throughout with intriguing personal anecdotes, the book chronicles Gary’s experiences ‘in the trenches’ of film making and gives an invaluable insiders point of view. Any actor, experienced or not, who wants to work in film couldn’t find a better book or a wiser mentor than Gary Graham.â€
-- Kenneth Johnson, executive producer, writer, director (ALIEN NATION, V, INCREDIBLE HULK, SHORT CIRCUIT II, STEEL)
“I loved it! I thought it was so insightful, compelling, funny, real. It’s amazing. Gary Graham has tapped a need that has yet to be fulfilled by any book in the marketplace on acting and what to expect, about getting into the business, and staying in the business…and dealing with the peaks and the valleys, the ups and the downs. It’s just so well-written…and so honest.â€
-- Lorenzo Lamas, actor, producer, RENEGADE, FALCON CREST
“A no-nonsense, to the point, specific, nuts-and-bolts book on acting and the acting profession. The problems, remedies, and solutions of what happens on and off the set... It’s simplicity is BRILLIANT! I have been a successful actor for 30 years, and Mr. Graham’s book is so rooted in reality it’s astonishing! For yourself...for you life... READ THIS BOOK!â€
-- Joe Penny, actor, RIPTIDE, JAKE & THE FATMAN

"Here's your chance to walk on a hundred sets and never leave your couch.

-- Sarah Schedeen, personal manager and former superagent, MTA
“In my sixty years of acting and teaching, Gary Graham has written the quintessential book on acting for TV and film, with a clear focus on the techniques for the Hollywood side of the acting profession. This should be the first book any wannabe actor should read if they want to succeed on the road to becoming a star.
-- Teddi Sherman, actress of Broadway and film, screenwriter, and founder of the Malibu Acting Studio.
“A witty and informative read with excellent tools for aspiring and seasoned actors-- from a veteran of the Hollywood Wars. I give ACTING & Other Flying Lessons – FIVE STARS!â€
