Synopsis"Goldsmith?" the casting agent said. The wait was over. I walked into the studio. It was cold, dark, and empty. At the center of the stage was an illuminated chair, and I took my seat there, surveying the space.... Somewhere, in that moment, it all hit me. I had everything I needed to do this. I had been preparing for this role my whole life. I had almost died at sea and on a mountain. I had met Jarmin and Grace and Eddie Egan and Domenic and Joan Fontaine. I had been caught naked on the freeway in LA and had debunked a miracle worker in the Philippines. Granted, I had never arm-wrestled Fidel Castro. But it wasn't out of the realm of possibility that, with one slightly different turn, I could have. Just make 'em laugh, I thought. And then I began.... Book jacket., A real-life memoir from the actor who played The Most Interesting Man in the World in the wildly popular television ads for Dos Equis beer., What makes a life truly interesting? Is it the people you meet? The risks you take? The adventures you remember? Jonathan Goldsmith has many answers to that question. For years he was a struggling actor in New York and Los Angeles, with experiences that included competing for roles with Dustin Hoffman, getting shot by John Wayne, drinking with Tennessee Williams, and sailing the high seas with Fernando Lamas, never mind romancing many lovely ladies along the way. However, it wasn't all fun and games for Jonathan. Frustrated with his career, he left Hollywood for other adventures in business and life. But then, a fascinating opportunity came his way--a chance to star in a new campaign for Dos Equis beer. A role he was sure he wasn't right for, but he gave it a shot all the same. Which led to the role that would bring him the success that had so long eluded him--that of "The Most Interesting Man in the World." A memoir told through a series of adventures and the lessons he's learned and wants to pass on, Stay Interesting is a truly daring and bold tale, and a manifesto about taking chances, not giving up, making courageous choices, and living a truly adventurous, and always interesting life., Jonathan Goldsmith's memoir features stories about his truly fascinating life both in and out of Hollywood: getting shot by John Wayne, competing with Dustin Hoffman, drinking with Tennessee Williams, sailing the high seas with Fernando Lamas and romancing many lovely ladies. Much more than a memoir, the book is a truly daring and bold tale, and a manifesto about taking chances, not giving up, making courageous choices, and living an adventurous life.
