When it comes to Hollywood success stories, everyone thinks of the blockbuster stars. On the other hand, there are actors such as Irwin Gould who tell a different (yet still uplifting) story about other ways that dreams could come true.
In his autobiography, The Book of Irwin Gould (IDG), he shares the humble story of someone who came from a well-off yet still grueling and abusive household in the Caribbean and then found Hollywood success even for small roles in major blockbuster films such as Bad Boys II.
From there, he took further steps toward more achievements by running his own small business (which he still leads to this very day).
Reviews of Goulds autobiography have come in praising his honest account of life as an extra in Hollywood. Its not every day that readers can see into the true experiences of the hundreds who work there but didnt become a household name.
Rosi Hollinbeck of the Tulsa Book Review writes: Irwin Gould offers some insight into the extreme difficulties of finding a career in the acting business. While he did attain some success, he certainly wasnt able to make a living at it, and maybe that is the point of this. If you have the dream of becoming a movie star, it isnt likely that will happen, but if you dream of using acting skills to fund building another business and look at acting as a stepping stone, there is a place for that kind of dream.
A similar conclusion is made by Rob Errera from IndieReader: Goulds pivot from aspiring actor to business professional is perhaps the most inspirational part of The Book of Irwin Gould (IDG). He never seems down (although the death of his beloved grandmother rocks him), keeping his mind sharp and his body fit. Today he owns a successful auto detailing business in South Florida, where he awaits his next acting opportunity. Perhaps his true calling is as a motivational speaker. While there arent staggering obstacles to overcome, growing up on a small Caribbean island and making it to the Hollywood big screen is no small feat, which makes Irwin Goulds journey worth noting.
