The Tobolowsky Testimonies
March 30, 2010

Hello Stephen,

My name is _______, and I am a musician/artist currently living
and working in ______.  I just wanted to let you know that,
after a crazy death defying trip to India, I have finally caught up on
all of your incredible stories over at The Tobolowsky Files.  My
brother and I started listening to your stories as soon as you guys
started, and have been totally awed and inspired (awe inspiring, eh?)
by every one of them.  As a musician, I have found all of your stories
of acting strangely reminiscent to many of my own experiences with
playing music, and have found your stories of your college days
strikingly similar as well.  They bring back so many memories in such
an incredibly tangible way that I almost feel like I am reliving my
own experiences through yours.  Coming away from college with a degree
in Acting is much like coming away with a degree in Sculptural
Studies, which is what I ended up doing.  There is only so much you
can do with it, the primary option being Nothing (although it did land
me pretty prestigious job slinging pork at a local Barbecue restaurant
and stacking sammies at a local Deli for a while), but your stories
always seem to stress the importance of doing what you love, and doing
it with passion.  I have always admired your work throughout the
years, and I feel like the Tobolowsky Files have really allowed me to
admire you on a deeper level as a person, rather than just a
performer.  I have been going through a strange transitional period in
my life recently, and your stories have been a huge help to me
personally, and an even larger inspiration than I could have imagined.

So in short, I just wanted to thank you for the stories, and
encourage you to keep them coming, which I’m sure you most certainly
will.
