The Observer
From Outsider to Trusted Fly on the Hollywood Wall
THE DEFINITIVE ARCHIVAL: A 575-page American odyssey. It’s not just a memoir; it’s a travelogue of the 20th-century soul.
From the jungles of Vietnam to the rugged wilds of Alaska, and from the neon streets of New York to the inner sanctums of Hollywood, The Observer is a raw, cinematic journey through a life lived at gunpoint and center stage. It is the story of the guy who was in the room, but didn’t necessarily belong to the cult.
This expanded edition includes the complete memoir, rare insider interviews, and the provocative three-act play The People vs. The Method—a theatrical trial with Ray Walston presiding over a high-stakes showdown between Jerry Lewis and Robert De Niro.
A collection of history, memoir, and Mathod acting techniques.
Experience what it was like for one man who began as a nobody—and ended up a very special nobody.
