I wasn't too sure if I would like this story because I view actors as being a bit too full of themselves. An Actor's Life isn't a story of another huge ego. It offers a glimpse into two men's life and how they're tied together. One is an Oscar-collecting superstar, while the other lives in obscurity. It might be called an If Only tale.It reminds me of Mark Twain's statement that talent never makes a writer famous. He goes on to add that many talented writers quit before they gain any sort of recognition. He humbly points out that in the brotherhood of writers, he was the lesser soul that chance chose to celebrate. Some of the same dynamics are apparent in An Actor's Life.Find out the difference between these two gifted actors. To say much more, might ruin the short story for you.
