                                                       Praise for The Actor's Way:

With empathy and insight, Mr. Lloyd has gorgeously articulated the delicate alchemy that occurs between a willing student and a master teacher.  His revelatory book isn't only for actors, but for anyone attempting to live an aesthetic life in an increasingly indifferent world.

 - Doug Wright, Pulitzer Prize winning playwright and author of Quills and I Am My Own Wife

The Actor's Way is a remarkable blending of non-fiction and the fundamentals of acting.  Woven into the correspondence between an actor and his former teacher is important information about the actor's craft, process and the relationship between spirituality and creativity.  This book should be on the reading list of every student and teacher of acting.
 
- Earle R. Gister, former Chair, Acting Program and Associate Dean, Yale School of Drama

I’m not an actor, but I found this book so compelling I read it in a single sitting. An elegant weave of love story, spiritual insight, and struggles with living and dying -- to say nothing of wise counsel for actors, those who teach them, and teachers of every stripe -- The Actor’s Way is a treasure.

- Parker J. Palmer, educator and author of  The Courage to Teach, Let Your Life Speak  and A Hidden Wholeness.
