In the Volume

My Life in Film and TV

By: Alex Hyde-White

Narrated by: Alex Hyde-White

London-born author Alex Hyde-White’s English father named him Punch, hoping it would be lucky, and he started his life as a precocious son of a rather famous actor.

In In the Volume, actor Hyde-White shares his story from Hollywood’s front lines, which spans more than four decades of the most transformational period in film and television history. This memoir chronicles Hyde-White’s early life growing up in England; moving to Palm Springs in the 1960s; graduating from high school at 16; getting started in Hollywood; working as a cab driver, bartender, waiter, and ski shop clerk while looking for acting gigs; playing his first part in a movie as the photographer in The Toy; and more, acting in some huge box office hits.

In the Volume chronicles his version of the "hero's journey", at times majestic, magical, wondrous, and fulfilling. These intimate tales of triumph and failure offer both caution and inspiration.
