Kearns etches an unforgettable portrait of an actor whose most significant and most challenging role was of himself.”RogerEbert.com “Hard-boiled. A moving look at a figure whose anger, temper, and mental illness got in the way of his talent. This portrait of a man who “could have been a star” is a nice departure from the traditional Hollywood rags to riches story.”Publishers Weekly “A 432-page rap sheet, an index of awfulness that focuses more on perps than performances. Rinse the blood out of his hair and repeat - right up to his infamous run-in with Tarantino on the set of Reservoir Dogs. If Tierney’s life tells us anything, it's that toxic masculinity is real -- and it's spectacular.”Noir City magazine "Lawrence Tierney's life reflects the axiom that truth is stranger than fiction, yet inexplicably, no biographer had ever tackled the actor's decades of accomplishments and mistakes until now. With this impeccably researched work, Burt Kearns has proved himself more than capable of capturing his deeply flawed yet enormously talented and complicated subject. You'll turn the pages at a breakneck pace, wondering what scrape Tierney will get into next, only to race toward a powerful, unexpectedly poignant conclusion."Dr. Jason A.

POPGALLERY33 ALWAYS COMBINES SHIPPING! ** Lawrence Tierney (March 15, 1919 – February 26, 2002) was an American film and television actor who is best known for his many screen portrayals of mobsters and tough guys in a career that spanned over 50 years. His roles mirrored his own frequent brushes with the law. In 2005, film critic David Kehr of The New York Times described "the hulking Tierney" as "not so much an actor as a frightening force of nature." Lawrence Tierney: Hollywood's Real-Life Tough Guy is the first biography of the notorious and legendary screen actor Lawrence Tierney, written by Burt Kearns and published on 6 December 2022 by the University Press of Kentucky as part of its Screen Classics series. The author traces the life of the film noir antihero from his birth in Brooklyn, New York in 1919, through his breakthrough role in the 1945 film, Dillinger, his clash with Quentin Tarantino on the set of the film Reservoir Dogs near the end of his film career, to his final public appearances. The book draws on the writings of Hollywood reporters and gossip columnists who first reported on Tierney's antics, and exclusive interviews with surviving colleagues, friends, family members―and victims.
