Jenna Fischer's Hollywood journey began at the age of 22 when she moved to Los Angeles from her hometown of St. Louis. With a theater degree in hand, she was determined, she was confident, she was ready to work hard. So, what could go wrong?
Uh, basically everything. The path to being a professional actor was so much more vast and competitive than she’d imagined. It would be eight long years before she landed her iconic role on The Office, nearly a decade of frustration, struggle, rejection and doubt.
If only she’d had a handbook for the aspiring actor. Or, better yet, someone to show her the way—an established actor who could educate her about the business, manage her expectations, and reassure her in those moments of despair.
Jenna wants to be that person for you.
With amusing candor and wit, Fischer spells out the nuts and bolts of getting established in the profession, based on her own memorable and hilarious experiences. She tells you how to get the right headshot, what to look for in representation, and the importance of joining forces with other like-minded artists and creating your own work—invaluable advice personally acquired from her many years of struggle. She provides helpful hints on how to be gutsy and take risks, the tricks to good auditioning and callbacks, and how not to fall for certain scams (auditions in a guy’s apartment are probably not legit—or at least not for the kind of part you’re looking for!).
Her inspiring, helpful guidance feels like a trusted friend who’s made the journey, and has now returned to walk beside you, pointing out the pitfalls as you blaze your own path towards the life of a professional actor.

I’m not an actress, but inthe music industry. Thanks Jemma, this was an inspiring, and throughout funny read! Just finished ”The perfect actor handbook” viewed from the eyes of actress/comedian Jenna Fischer. She got her breakthrough after paying her dues for eight years in LA, in The Office, playing the shy and loveable Pam. It’s a joy to get to know the likeable Jenna who’s bravely not clinging to the the fasade of a glamorous lifestyle. She tells it like it is, what actually happens behind the scenes. And between work. We get her full story, from how she started up and went LA to how also famous actors endure hardships when the phone is silent. It’s a harsh, comepetitive industry where lesson one is you’ve gotta do it cause you love it or you won’t last. We get to sulk alongside Jenna when she’s kicked out of a hit show and cheer and flip the switch with her when she lands dream roles. It’s written with such warmth and humour that I forgot it was a handbook. This is a book fo

Otroligt intressant bok, perfekt för aspirerande skådespelare men också för oss filmnördar. Lärt mig mycket om hur det fungerar i Hollywood och Jenna Fischer är en klippa som uppläsare.
