“Climbing Rejection Mountain” is a fun, joyous, upbeat look at what it takes to make a life — and maybe a living — as an actor. It is a guidebook, a Baedeker to the brutally difficult task of making a successful life as an actor, leavened with amusing tales of Mr. Wyman’s triumphs and failings. It will not teach anyone how to act, but it will save young actors and potential actors from many missteps and give them a significant leg up on those without this guidance. Whether seeking an acting career or not, the reader will delight in Mr. Wyman’s breezy style, funny anecdotes, and insightful life advice. |

"There are some authors of acting books that dispense useful advice. But only a few can see in others what they can also see in themselves, because being able to write about acting is not the same as being able to actually act. Nick Wyman is such an expert. He can talk the talk because he can also walk the walk. A consummate actor and a pragmatic logician when it comes to applying his technique into his work. He keeps his performances alive and present every night. I should know, I had the pleasure to work closely with this very talented man on the Broadway play Network.
Read this book! Learn from this man. Infuse your career with energy, hard work, and a love of performance. And with some luck you can enjoy the empowerment of acting for a lifetime."
— Bryan Cranston
"If only I had had Nick's wise and witty book as reference when I began my theatrical journey! He writes with such humor and humanity, as only he could. This should be on every young actor's must-read list. And Michael has captured the tone so perfectly!"
— Judy Kaye |
