Today we have the internet. No more post office. Practice and the ability to move forward after countless rejections is easier said than done. Fischer's background knowledge on set etiquette is invaluable.
It was fascinating to discover that Fisher always brings "a nude bra, black bra, nude undies, black undies, and a thong" and has a no nudity clause in her SAG contract. It is also a good idea to bring a few pairs of your own shoes and a favorite pair of jeans. John C. Reilly gave Jenna his penis pouch as a wrap gift at the end of the movie Walk Hard. What a guy!
It is interesting to note that Fischer never mentions her indie film, LolliLove by name, though describes her experience making it briefly in three paragraphs Her ex-husband, James Gunn, is mentioned by name only once in a photo caption and her current husband, Lee Kirk, was James' brother, Sean Gunn's first manager.

I picked this book up because I love the office, and I really like Jenna Fischer. However, even though I'm not the target audience for this book, I really enjoyed it. She provides a lot of practical advice, but my favourite parts were the stories she shares about her career. There's a great mix of personal anecdotes of bad auditions, embarrassing moments, etc.
Y So I didn't read the back of this book well enough and somehow missed that it is a book that provides advice on how to become an actor. You can also tell what a genuinely good person Jenna is by reading this book.
I also liked the quotes on the sides of the pages and it was also cool to read about her friendship with Sean Gunn Kirk from Gilmore Girls! With that being said, some of the technical parts of this book were a bit boring to me, but again that is my fault for not realizing this book was for aspiring actors.

So many questions Jenna covered much of what Joe can anticipate after graduation. I just ordered the paper version of the book which will be waiting for him on his nightstand when he arrives home next week for winter break. Thank you for this, Jenna. You saved a life!
If you are an actor or aspiring maybe this will be a wonderful guide for you, I would not know. Apr 17, Andrea rated it liked it. Jenna Fischer is so likable that I feel terribly only giving her 3 stars. Her survival guide for actors has so much heart, good advice, and fun insider stories about her and her friends. The interviews at the end were a real highlight for me. The truth is, I enjoyed most of it quite a bit. But the quality of writing is pretty terrible grammar, idioms, sentence structure This book needs a copy editor something fierce!

As a non-actor it was really interesting to get a peek behind the curtain. Mostly because I don't actually have to follow all of this advice!

Advice like this is hard to come by since acting is a competitive field. She recounts her time on The Office, but also talks about her less successful periods. The latter parts were the most inspiring. Holy wow. Even as a non-actor, I found this book so beyond inspiring.
