Actors Anonymous
Actors Anonymous is a novel by American author and Academy Award nominated actor James Franco.[1][2][3] Published in 2013 by Little A/New Harvest, the novel is a series of connected short stories about actors in Los Angeles.[4] The chapters follow the 12 Steps and the 12 Traditions of Alcoholics Anonymous.[5]
On 11 October 2013, James Franco appeared in a book trailer along with actors Jim Parrack, Scott Haze, Stacey Miller and Mia Serafino to promote the release of the book.[6][7][8]
Reception to Actors Anonymous was mixed. Critics complained that the otherwise interesting and well-written stories were marred by name dropping and references to the author's own career and personal philosophy.[9][10]
