Michael Caine: Acting In Film
An Actor’s Take On Movie Making

This book is a classic and definitely needs to be in your library. Originally published in 1990, but it remains insightful.
I am using this as a text in a class I am teaching now, and it’s really a wonderful book. Julia Cameron refers to it a, “A Spiritual Path to Creativity.” It is a self-taught course of sorts and a fantastic way to start 2018!

By Anne Bogart

No doubt regardless of your acting approach, it is immensely helpful and can open some wonderful avenues to authenticity.
