Yes, he was an actor. That book works.

Sarah wrote: "Goodbye Christopher Robin: A. A. Milne and the Making of Winnie-the-Pooh would this work?"Yes, that works as a biography/memoir of A. A. Milne, who was a playwright, as well as the author of the Pooh books.
Kim wrote: "Will this work? Dinner with Lenny: The Last Long Interview with Leonard BernsteinThank you."
Yes, that works.
Will As You Wish: Inconceivable Tales from the Making of The Princess Bride work? I know the author would work, as an actor, but I just want to make sure that it works as an autobiography since it's about one particular movie and not about his life as a whole.
Boston Kate wrote: "Will As You Wish: Inconceivable Tales from the Making of The Princess Bride work? I know the author would work, as an actor, but I just want to make sure that it works as an autobio..."Focusing on one moment in time makes it a memoir, but that's fine. Yes, this book would work as a memoir of an actor.

The Pianist: The Extraordinary Story of One Man's Survival in Warsaw, 1939–45 by Władysław Szpilman ... This is Szpilman's autobiography/memoir. He was a musician in Poland.

Loni wrote: "This Boy’s Life: A Memoir by Tobias WolffI’ve been meaning to read this for awhile now. Excited to have a reason to pick it up."
While Tobias Wolff may be a wonderful author, as far as I can tell he isn't a playwright or a screenwriter, is he? Has he written for stage or film and I've missed it?
