Tim Matheson is an actor whose work I've enjoyed over the years, is a fast, easy read, covering his time as a kid actor to the present. Probably best known for playing Otter in "Animal House," he takes the reader through the good and bad times a working actor/director faces. He writes a lot about needing to reinvent himself as he outgrows certain types of roles while wanting to improve his performances and break out of typecasting. Peppered through the book is acting advice, something not show more relevant for me but enjoyable none the less. show less
Entertaining book. Enjoyed the stories of Matheson's initial acting experiences. His work at Desilu, with Lucille Ball and Henry Fonda. His work with Belushi in Animal House and the work on the West Wing. I especially enjoyed seeing his mention of John Burroughs High School and his time living in Burbank, California. There is good background on the back stories of Hollywood, the directing and so forth. The book is recommended for those who enjoy biographies of motion picture or television stars.
