Kevin Pollak

Some people will do anything to make it in Hollywood, just ask Kevin Pollak. His new book, How I Slept My Way to the Middle: Secrets and Stories from Stage, Screen, and Interwebs, gives a behind-the-scenes look at how the dramatic actor (A Few Good Men, The Usual Suspects) and comedian (The Whole Nine Yards, Miami Rhapsody) has been working in the industry for more than 30 years. Come to the Barnes and Noble at the Grove for a signing and reading as Pollak shares stories about some of the many legends he worked with, including Robert De Niro, Tom Hanks, Sophia Loren, Martin Scorcese, Bruce Willis and more. A quick review of his IMDB page is like a cheat sheet for Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon, whom he also dishes about on pages 90 and 102.
