Fun and insightful!
While I was familiar with many of the great characters that Sedita details, seeing them fit into archetypes shone a whole new light on my understanding of them. This book has changed the way I watch comedies -- for the better! As an aspiring actor, I look forward to seeing projects through this terrific lens.
