A #1 amazon best-seller in it's category! Longlisted for the 2022 Theatre Book Prize!
Unlike any actor's 'memoir' you've read before, this hilarious, luvvie-free, behind-the-scenes, no-holds-barred account of Millson's first decade in the second oldest profession takes you through the impossible slogs of auditions, the endless disappointments, the fragile successes, and ultimately into the bones of what really makes an actor. The final ingredient is a love affair with the work itself. Acting as an obsession, as a religion, as a distraction, as a solace, and often as hell. **** Four stars in THE TELEGRAPH. "IT'S THE PROPER STORY OF AN ACTOR'S LIFE - NOT THE CHAMPAGNE AND AIR KISSES, BUT THE GRAFT, THE DOUBT, THE DEBT, AND SOMETIMES, JUST SOMETIMES, THE BLISS. THIS IS WONDERFUL." Russell T Davies "DANGEROUSLY UNFILTERED." Dame Harriet Walter "IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN THE REAL LIFE CHALLENGES OF A WORKING ACTOR, THEN THIS BOOK IS ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL." Irvine Welsh "A JOY TO READ." Mark Ravenhill "FUNNY, AUTHENTIC AND PAINFUL." Sir Richard Eyre "VIVID AND FASCINATING." Dame Celia Imrie "BREATHLESS AND HIGHLY ENTERTAINING." Michael Simkins "READ, GIGGLE, BLUSH, YOU WILL HAVE A BALL." Andy Nyman
