About this listen
Second Act: A Working Actor’s Handbook is part memoir, part masterclass, and all heart. Drawing from a deeply personal return to the business after decades away, Rob DeRosa offers a no-fluff survival guide for actors navigating co-star roles, stage performances, auditions, set life, and the emotional rollercoaster of working in film, television, and theater.
This is not a book of theory—it’s a book of trenches. Through ten vivid chapters, DeRosa reveals the emotional truths behind one-line auditions, last-minute call times, challenging directors, and quiet wins that never make the trades—but shape an actor’s craft forever.
If you’ve trained, struggled, stepped away, or are fighting your way back—Second Act is the guidebook that proves it’s never too late to work, grow, and leave something meaningful on screen—or on stage.
