bogrobtheactor: volume III

Description:

This volume, being the third and final in a three-part set, was inspired in part by Socrates, who observed that an unexamined life is not worth living. Well, I’m not so sure I see the connection, but I took the advice anyway. This way, when the Great Haymaker in the Sky asks, 'I gave you life. What have you done with it?' these three memoirs are my answer. Together, they tell the story of a dangerously troubled teenager who ended his outlaw career behind bars, and upon release, evolved into a successful, independent New York City trucker, ladies' man, and bon vivant—interrupted a decade later by a return to madness, homelessness, and incarceration—ultimately to begin again as a professional screen actor who spent nearly a quarter of a century on film sets, an honors student in criminal justice, a security manager for a notorious Brooklyn rabbi, a world traveler, and author of this three-volume memoir. That’s my story: just another guy on the bus, trying to keep his seat until the last stop. Got it? Good. Okay, let’s ride.
