<B>A darkly witty, deeply affecting, and finely crafted memoir by the <I>Big Bang Theory </I>and<I> Speechless </I>star and comedian, John Ross Bowie.  </B><BR/><BR/>From his earliest memories of watching <I>Rhoda</I> with his parents in their tiny Hell’s Kitchen apartment, John knew that he wanted to be an actor. The strange, alternate world of television—where people always cracked the perfect joke, lived in glamorous Upper East Side buildings, and made up immediately after fighting—seemed far better than his own home life, with a mother and father on the brink of divorce and a neighborhood full of crumbling pre-war architecture and not-so-occasional muggings. And yet that other world also seems unattainable. Besides crippling stage fright (which would take him years to overomce) John's father, ever aloof and cynical, has instilled within him the notion that acting is “no job for a man.”<BR/><BR/>
