From here on out, when someone asks me for career advice, I’ll just hand them this book and say, ‘Now scram kid!’”Eric Stonestreet, Emmy Award winning Actor“I just finished reading Gregg’s book. I know, you’re thinking “not another ‘how to act’ book." Yes, but no. This little gem is concise, eminently practical, and filled with personal anecdotes that are entertaining and right to the point. The words come from a pro, an actor I’ve had the great pleasure of directing many times, one who was always prepared but was always ready to play and change. A director’s dream. Read GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER and be a director’s dream.”Lee Shallat Chemel, Award winning Director and Producer (Gilmore Girls, The Middle)"I'd been a fan of Gregg Binkley's work as an actor on "Raising Hope," but not until he joined us for an episode I wrote did I become a fan of Gregg the person. He's smart, kind, humble, and a master of his craft. Armed with a deep tool box of choices, he infused the seriocomic role of a lovesick stalker (creepy but not dangerous) with so much humanity, our viewers were almost rooting for him. Plus, he's such a pro and a pleasure on the set, I can't wait to work with him again. Any actor starting out in this business should consider GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER a must read. Gregg's got chops for days, and he's put every ounce of his knowledge in these pages.”Scott Williams, Writer-Executive Producer “NCIS” Read more
