"This book contains Stacy's essence, from Hamlet to Hammer, from Richard III to Sergeant Stedenko, from King Lear to Papa Ken Titus. He is a great raconteur. You'll delight in his tales of meeting Burton (though Liz Taylor made the greater impression) and working with Mitchum, of singing with Judy Collins and gambling with John Huston, of false mustaches and near deadly stunts. . . . Masculine and sensitive, intelligent and leonine, he is a force." -Alec Baldwin "A classic actor and a class act all the way, that's Stacy Keach. Every time I've had the pleasure of working with him I've thought to myself, 'What this guy has forgotten about the craft of acting is more than I've ever learned.' But this book reveals he's forgotten nothing. Wisdom and great stories from a true master of our trade." -Edward Norton "What a life! What a story! A generous and fascinating memoir from the fabulous Stacy Keach! Stacy writes as he acts: openly and honestly with humor and warmth and dash!" -Linda Lavin , "This book contains Stacy's essence, from Hamlet to Hammer, from Richard III to Sergeant Stedenko, from King Lear to Papa Ken Titus.

Wisdom and great stories from a true master of our trade." -Edward Norton "Stacy Keach reveals his truth in All in All, without an actor's hubris or the temptation to embellish. The result is a deeply moving and inspiring story that transcends a traditional Hollywood memoir in both candor and grace. Bravo!" -Martin Sheen "Stacy Keach's memoir, All in All, is a great read, telling the ups and downs of this wonderful actor's life. Stacy proves to be a great counter puncher, turning his challenges into gifts."-Jeff Bridges "What a life! What a story! A generous and fascinating memoir from the fabulous Stacy Keach! Stacy writes as he acts: openly and honestly with humor and warmth and dash!" -Linda Lavin "… A quiet, warm memoir from a generous man who's lived through a rocky relationship with the craft he adores. As a result, it's partly true and overly forgiving. Keach aptly displays the skills of the good actor-'do not let them take their eyes off you; keep em guessing.'" -Oliver Stone "An actor's autobiography that emphasizes the hard work more than the lush life.Not that the life Keach has led--including romances with some famous and talented women, most notably singer Judy Collins; a high-profile drug bust, trial and jail term in London in 1984; and quality time hanging with celebrities like John Huston, Orson Welles, Paul Newman and others--isn't worthy of higher billing. But Keach, while sharing plenty of amusing anecdotes and interesting insights about his peers, doesn't linger on those details. Instead, he takes us into the fertile mind of an intelligent, envelope-pushing artist of stage, screen and any other format where actors ply their trade, and he methodically (and with charming immodesty) lays down the outline of his amazing career, examining the thoughts behind the choices that shaped it. That may sound dull to the average nonactor, but the career in question belongs to one of America's most talented classically trained actors who has played the most significant roles of Shakespeare--Hamlet, Richard III, Lear and Falstaff (once as a young actor in a fat suit and again 40 years later under the weight of life fully lived)--almost always to great acclaim. While pursuing his first love of theater (from classical to experimental), he also pushed himself to take risky roles in film (memorably in End of the Road , The New Centurions , Fat City, The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean and American History X , to name a very few) and developed indelible, often hard-boiled characters for TV (including Mike Hammer for CBS and Ken Titus on the short-lived Fox sitcom Titus ). Nonactors should find this relatively short, fast-moving memoir a pleasure to read, but drama, media and film students will find Keach's insights invaluable, particularly his coda (''Curtain Call''), which shares the fundamentals learned over a lifetime of honing his craft." --Kirkus, "This book contains Stacy''s essence, from Hamlet to Hammer, from Richard III to Sergeant Stedenko, from King Lear to Papa Ken Titus.
