In a career that has spanned fifty years and taken him from one of the greatest movies of all time to some of television's best series, Emmy-award winning character actor William Windom takes you behind the scenes of show business from Broadway to Hollywood in his candid and witty autobiography.

Shortly after returning from active duty in World War II, Windom entered the acting world, launching his career in parts on and off Broadway in the late 1940s and 1950s. With refreshing candor, he tells how he landed his first Hollywood role as the winning attorney against Gregory Peck in 1962's To Kill a Mockingbird and then went on to act in popular television series including Columbo, Star Trek, All In the Family, and Dallas. But perhaps his most enjoyable roles came from his regular appearances on The Farmer's Daughter,, and as Doc Hazlitt in the popular Murder, She Wrote.

Through Windom's personal anecdotes, Hollywood aficionados can get up close and personal with some of the industry's biggest names, including John Wayne, Sam Goldwyn, and Angela Lansbury, and aspiring performers can glean wisdom on choosing agents and managers, working with directors, and performing an audition by following Windom's expert and time-tested advice.

Humorous, honest, and endlessly entertaining, Journeyman Actor delivers an intimate glimpse into the career of one of Hollywood's most successful character actors.

A well done graphic novel for children
Format: Hardcover
A graphic novel for middle and high schoolers that personifies animals vis-a-vis “Animal Farm”. The illustration is well done and the prose is easily understandable by children. An adult will probably be needed to explain the metaphors.

Modern Day Animal Farm
Format: Paperback
📚Animal Pound ✍🏻Tom King Blurb: When animals grow tired of being caged and abused, it’s only a matter of time before they have nothing to lose but their cages… When an uprising puts a pound in control of the animals, they make quick comrades, united against everything that walks on two legs. But with this newfound power comes a sudden challenge: how best to lay the groundwork for this new democracy as they write their first constitution. The conditions are ripe for a dictator, primed for instating a new system of brutality and death. When two groups of animals work together will their efforts be enough to prevent further animal authoritarianism? Discover a timely graphic storytelling event from celebrated New York Times bestselling, Eisner Award-winning writer Tom King (The Human Target, Love Everlasting) and New York Times bestselling, Eisner Award-nominated artist Peter Gross (American Jesus, The Books of Magic), collaborating for the first time ever to bring this enduring Orwellian allegory to life for the 21st Century. Collects Animal Pound #1-5. My Thoughts: A retelling of Animal Farm but for modern audiences. Instead of focusing on the dangers of communism, it instead focuses on the dangers of fascism. I would say it's very heavy-handed in its obvious critique of the MAGA crowd, but also frightfully accurate and does very well at evoking emotion from you, the reader, who probably also just like me, would be very frustrated watching everyone fall for the the DJT-allegory.. This is the rare graphic novel meant to be given to non comics readers. Thanks NetGalley, BOOM! Studios and Author Tom King for the advanced copy of "Animal Pound" I am leaving my voluntary review in appreciation. #NetGalley #Boom!Studios #AnimalPound #TomKing ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Modern Day Animal Farm
Format: Hardcover
This is a MUST read, quickly, before it is banned. King captures the modern political landscaper perfectly from the blind cult like following to the concerned and ignored, to the bullying, violence and normalization of the bizarre. This may be the most important Graphic Novel of the last 25 years. Were I a wealthy man I would purchase a copy for every American History Classroom.
