"Working with Wayne Byrne was an incredible experience. Seldom have I met a person so dedicated to the arts of film and music. I discovered how good Wayne is when I read his Burt Reynolds book. Burt was a good friend and colleague of mine for forty years and yet Wayne knew more about Burt and his career than I did. Wayne is dedicated to the research on his subjects and he makes it a pleasurable experience for his subjects and co-writers. His books are so easy to read because he sees his work as accessible to everybody. I’m blessed to have met him and even more blessed that he was the co-author of my book." - Nick McLean (The Goonies, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, The Deer Hunter, Sharky's Machine, Friends)

"I have worked in the film and television business for over fifty years. I have made movies with the greatest directors, writers, and stars, but in that time I have never met anyone with as much of a keen understanding of Cinema as Wayne Byrne. He might be writing about my fellow artists and their work, but Wayne is a master storyteller in his own right. He sees beyond the image and into the lives on screen, into the themes beneath the surface, and into the heart of the artists. He has taught me things about people I’ve known my whole life. After only several conversations I felt like I knew Wayne forever, because he makes you feel like that, and he makes you feel that the work you have accomplished is important and worth writing about. His books on Tom DiCillo, Burt Reynolds, and Nick McLean are masterpieces of the form. I recommend them and him to everybody." – Michael D. O’Shea, Cinematographer/Camera Operator (M*A*S*H., The Lost Boys, Extreme Prejudice, The ‘Burbs, Robin Hood: Men in Tights)
