Author: James Franco
Format: Paperback
Number of Pages: 304
Inspired by Alcoholics Anonymous's 12 Steps and 12 Traditions, Actors Anonymous is a dark, genre-bending work that mixes memoir and pure invention - an audacious examination of celebrity, acting, and the making of Fiction. Actors Anonymous is unsettling, funny, and personal - a series of stories told in many forms: a McDonald's drive-thru operator who spends his shift trying on accents; an ex-child star recalling a massive beachside bacchanal; hospital volunteers putting a camera in the hands of a patient obsessed with horror films; a vampire flick starlet who discovers a cryptic book written by a famous actor gone AWOL, who may have killed his father. The book contains profound insights into the nature and purpose of acting, as well as deeply moving portraits of aspiring actors who never quite made it. Franco mercilessly turns his 'James Franco' persona inside out while, at the same time, providing fascinating meditations on his art, along with nightmarish tales of excess. 'Hollywood has always been a private club,' he writes. 'I open the gates. I say welcome. I say, Look inside.'
