Title: Accidentally on Purpose
First published: 1996
Description: Based on his own experience and the teachings of his celebrated but distant father, Lee, Strasberg defines the talent of becoming real in a role. He surveys the traditional partition between life and theatre and urges us to make it a dynamic living membrane through which vital elements may pass.

John Strasberg has written his own intensely personal story about his father's work and the Strasberg dynasty. It is a painful odyssey during which he relives the often demanding role he played as son to a man who was the central father figure to a generation of American actors.
