About this ebook

As an actor, Danny Belson has played many criminal types, but as the prisoner transport bus pulls out of the LA county jail, the realization of his conviction overwhelms him. The irony is that only six months ago he taught an acting workshop at the same institution he is now going to be incarcerated in. Danny had been chosen to take part in California's answer to New Jersey's highly acclaimed “Scared Straight” by actually working with the inmates of the Medium Security Federal Prison in Lomp

About the author

 For most of his young life Jack was a struggling actor, appearing on such shows as Mash, WKRP in Cincinnati, and General Hospital. For a short time, he even taught an acting workshop. Mr. Kearney was fortunate enough to attend the very prestigious American Academy of Dramatic Arts, as part of the first graduating class at the Los Angeles campus.

Waiting for that big break Jack had many survival jobs typical of the actors of the 70's and 80's, but sales seemed to offer the only plausible way to make a living. Contrary to popular belief, he discovered that salesman are not born, and commissioned sales can be almost as frustrating as breaking into show business. He currently works out of his home for a publishing company, on commission.

He always wrote his audition monologues and even submitted several plot treatments for the some of the popular shows of the day. In every case he always created a character that he would be able to play. INSIDE OUT was originally a script, which was to be his ROCKY.

Jack has a beautiful daughter, Shannon, from his first marriage, to whom this book is dedicated to. Now 63, he currently resides in Northern California with his two Yorkies.
