LOS ANGELES, May 20, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Not only has actor Nick Nolte gained recognition when he recently received an Oscar nomination for his performance in the highly acclaimed film Affliction, he continues to be one of the most sought after actors in Hollywood, recently starring in Ang Lee's spectacular film The Hulk. With Henry Robert Espinoza's fascinating new book American Angel, take a closer look at Nick Nolte -- the man and the artist.
American Angel is a delightful and oftentimes serious romp through Espinoza's imagination and memory bank heavily based on his real-life experiences and personal friendship with Nolte. The author also recounts wonderful memories he had with other famous actors and actresses including Susan Blakely, Nolte's co-star in the renowned mini-series Rich Man, Poor Man. Blakely and Espinoza met while the latter was working as a Union Representative for the Screen Actors Guild in Hollywood after graduating with honors from UCLA Law School.
Just when you think celebrities lead a perfect life in a perfect world of their own, American Angel hands you the real score. Like average people, famous personalities are faced with similar emotional struggles. "Reading about how a famous actor deals with these same issues may help the reader realize he is not alone on this emotionally charged planet," says Espinoza.
