Acting Out (Lee Goldberg’s Television Books #8) Release Date: August 19, 2026

Published

In the early 1980s, Lee Goldberg was a young freelance reporter covering Hollywood and talking with actors at every stage of their careers.

Michael J. Fox was only beginning to grasp what sudden fame might mean. Tom Selleck was testing whether television stardom could carry him into movies. Raquel Welch, already an international icon, was fighting to regain control of a career Hollywood had tried to define for her. Roger Moore was wondering whether it was time to give up his license to kill. Robert Englund was still a working character actor, unaware that Freddy Krueger was about to change his life. They are joined by William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, Michelle Pfeiffer, Jeff Goldblum, Louise Fletcher, Christopher Lloyd, Billy Dee Williams, Molly Ringwald, and many more actors caught at equally revealing moments in their lives.

Goldberg would later become a successful television writer-producer (Diagnosis Murder, SeaQuest, Monk, etc) and a #1 New York Times bestselling novelist of over 50 books. But here, through these interviews, he’s beginning to learn how performers think, what fame costs, and how much an acting career depends on the choices they make—and the choices that are made for them.
