On Acting ... and Life: A New Look at an Old Craft

Review\n"It's possible you will become a better actor after reading Bill; it's also possible you will become a better person." 
-David Duchovny, star of The X-Files\n"This book celebrates a lifetime's passion and commitment to the mysterious realm of acting... It's a history lesson and an inspiration, reminding the discouraged actor that you never know what's coming round the corner so be prepared and keep the faith. Gold!" 
-Rosemary Dunsmore, leading Canadian acting teacher and actor\n"Bill Davis' On Acting is a fascinating tapestry of a life dedicated not only to the Art, but also to do a deeper philosophical grasp of our work." 
-Brian Cox, BAFTA award winner and star of Succession\n"Bill's vast experience, on stage, screen and as a teacher is more than impressive, it's a rarity in our culture of instant fame." 
-Chris Carter, creator of The X-Files\n"An entertaining, down-to-earth remembrance and a fine guide for actors seeking to master their craft." 
-Kirkus Reviews\nDozens of books on acting exist, but none of them are quite like this. On Acting and Life provides both insightful acting advice and the memoir of an acclaimed actor of both stage and screen. Modelled after Stephen King's bestseller, On Writing, the book is divided into two parts.\nPart one takes readers on a seventy-year journey that begins with William B. Davis, at age twelve, riding his bicycle through the streets of Toronto to his first acting classes, and eventually leads to him starring in the long-running television series, The X-Files. From a summer theatre in Ontario to the National Theatre of Great Britain to the National Theatre School of Canada to the William Davis Centre for Actors' Study in Vancouver, few have achieved such a colourful journey. Along the way, Davis met all sorts of familiar faces, including Donald Sutherland, Brian Cox, Albert Finney, Laurence Olivier, Maggie Smith, David Duchovny, and Gillian Anderson, among others.\nAlthough there is a lot about acting in part one, the heart of the book for an aspiring or working actor is in part two. What has Davis learned in seventy years of working both in the theatre and in film and television? A lot, as you will see. Davis' grasp of the art of acting is vast and practical. And in some ways, original.\nIn his final chapter, Davis explores the underlying philosophy of acting and actor training and argues for bringing the work in to the twenty-first century.

As outspoken in his day as Richard Dawkins or Christopher Hitchens are today, American freethinker and author ROBERT GREEN INGERSOLL (1833-1899) was a notorious radical whose uncompromising views on religion and slavery (they were bad, in his opinion), women's suffrage (a good idea, he believed), and other contentious matters of his era made him a wildly popular orator and critic of 19th-century American culture and public life. As a speaker dedicated to expanding intellectual horizons and celebrating the value of skepticism, Ingersoll spoke frequently on such topics as atheism, freedom from the pressures of conformity, and the lives of philosophers who espoused such concepts. This collection of his most famous speeches includes the lectures: [ "The Gods" (1872) [ "Humboldt" (1869) [ "Thomas Paine" (1870) [ "Individuality" (1873) [ "Heretics and Heresies" (1874)
