Wait, I'm the A**hole? Noel Douglas Orput

Hi, I'm Noel (pronounced like Joel with an "N"). I knew I wanted to be an actor from a very young age. And after two decades of living my dream, I'm ready to share a few of my tales; some good, some bad, all painfully hilarious. In this first collection of comedic anecdotes, you will meet a circus of characters who are deliciously unscrupulous; there's the maniacal, Capote-esque acting teacher who will stop at nothing to make his students cry; a slick talent agent who has a few schemes up his ketchup-stained sleeve; a seductive costumer in Columbus with a surprising fetish. There's Dom and Sweaty Steve, a creepy duo who hold an audition that could've ended in a shirtless bloodbath, and you will get to spend a humiliating day on the set of a Budweiser commercial where narcissism flowed like beer. Whether you work within the industry or if you're lucky enough to be a normal person, these stories offer something for everyone, from belly laughs to life lessons. Get an inside look at what actors have to endure as they make their way up the rickety ladder to uncertain stardom.
