Are You Anybody?
Are You Anybody?: A Memoir | Jeffrey Tambor
7 posts | 7 read | 9 to read
It's rare that an actor embodies even one memorable character over the arc of a career. Jeffrey Tambor has managed to create three, beginning with Hank "Hey Now!" Kingsley on The Larry Sanders Show, the series created by Garry Shandling, Jeffreys first mentor in television. He went on to find two more show creators, Mitch Hurwitz of Arrested Development and Jill Soloway of Transparent, who shared a love of actors and taught him a lot about acting along the way. Are You Anybody? is Tambor's chance to discuss his creative process and immense accomplishments from a life lived onscreen. Drawing from his formative childhood years, in which he describes himself as a fat Hungarian-Jewish kid with a lisp and a depressive father to how he drew inspiration from his life to create these characters, Tambor's memoir is funny, insightful, and uplifting, touching on comedy and the enduring chutzpah required to make it through life.

LibrarianRenee I love George Bluth, but Jeffrey Tambor is so much more. He‘s funny, humble, and a great man. A wonderful listen. 7y

Listened to Jeffrey Tambor read this on audible. Jumps around in time- he had a really dismal mother and it affected him thereafter. Nice tribute to Gary Shandling. I forgot how many characters he played that I really enjoyed over the years- short, a bit disjointed and, again, dismal Mother and suicide, addiction, abuse triggers.

A great memoir from a great actor! Unfortunately, I can't see much of what he does these days because I don't have subscription tv! I'm sure he's out there doing marvelous work!

I started this memoir on my #audiowalk this morning. I'm about a fifth of the way through and enjoying it. Tambor's narration is a joy to listen to. I'm not familiar with his history and his chapters on his family are at turns funny and heartbreaking.

Books_Wine_Repeat I remember watching way back in the day when he was on Three's Company. Love him! 💗 7y
