William Sanderson
William Sanderson has enjoyed a prosperous career in Hollywood as a highly successful character actor whom everyone seems to recognize - but they aren't always certain from what. Spanning a variety of genres over nearly a half-century performing in TV, film, and stage, Sanderson has inhabited such high-profile roles as E.B. Farnum in the HBO Western Deadwood, Sheriff Bud Dearborne in the HBO vampire series True Blood, Larry in the classic CBS sitcom Newhart, and J.F. Sebastian in the sci-fi film masterwork Blade Runner.
Yes, I'm That Guy takes listeners behind the scenes of these productions and many more, including Coal Miner's Daughter, Lonesome Dove, Lone Wolf McQuade, and The Client, showcasing Sanderson's knack for making a memorable mark in each of his projects.
But as you will learn in his memoir, Sanderson is far more than merely the sum of his characters. His tumultuous, rags-to-riches story is instructive in demonstrating the power of perseverance and fortitude in overcoming one's struggles with self-doubt and self-sabotage and - thanks to the love of a good woman - ultimately carving out a positive, contented life.

Not so much this time,
Because ... Mr Sanderson is one complicated cat. He has self-risked his early life so often it's a wonder he is still standing. Bars, booze, bottomless journeys to drink (too deep) at the well of self-doubt, actions of hasty anger and ensuing agonizing regret are ladled out in this memoir without stint,
And yet we are, curious, audiobook-prying, because this is a man who appeared and stunned us with what we saw him portray on a flickering screen. Horrific, mesmerizing, hilarious, tear-stained, stoic, balefull, most memorably a stained, simmering popinjay nearly aflame with lacerating inner angst and outward jealousy.
The point of the title, the point of his life, is "you think you know me" (to find out we didn't and delighted he tells us) and that he is both memorable and unforgetable,
Give it a listen. This memoir gets top billing amonst my recent memoirs.
