And for anyone truly interested in the performer many consider the greatest and most influential of the 20th century, it is impossible to understand how Elvis came to be such a phenomenon without examining the life and mind of Parker, the man who virtually controlled Elvis' every move.

Story
Bryan Cranston landed his first role at seven, when his father, a struggling actor and director, cast him in a United Way commercial. Soon Bryan was haunting the local movie theater, memorizing and reenacting favorite scenes with his older brother. Acting was clearly the boy's destiny - until one day his father disappeared. Suddenly destiny took a backseat to survival. Seeking something more stable, perhaps subconsciously trying to distance himself from his absent father, Cranston decided on a career in law enforcement.

Story
Gary Tillery presents a coherent view of Elvis' thoughts through such anecdotes and other recorded facts. We learn, for instance, that Elvis read thousands of books on religion; that his crisis over making mindless movies like Girl Happy led him to writers such as Gurdjieff, Krishnamurti, and Helena Blavatsky; and that, while driving in Arizona, an epiphany inspired him to learn Hindu practice. Elvis came to believe that the Christ shines in everyone and that God wanted him to use his light to uplift people.

Publisher's summary
Over the next 13 years, Jerry would work for Elvis in various capacities, from bodyguard to photo double to co-executive producer on a karate film. But more than anything else, he was Elvis' close friend and confidant. Elvis trusted Jerry with protecting his life when he received death threats; he also asked Jerry to drive him and Priscilla to the hospital the day Lisa Marie was born and to accompany him during the famous "lost weekend", when he traveled to meet President Nixon at the White House.
Me and a Guy Named Elvis looks at Presley from a friend's perspective, offering readers the man rather than the icon, including insights into the creative frustrations that led to Elvis' abuse of prescription medication and his tragic death. Jerry offers never-before-told stories about life inside Elvis' inner circle and an emotional recounting of the great times, hard times, and unique times he and Elvis shared. These vivid memories will be priceless for Elvis' millions of fans, and the compelling story will fascinate an even wider audience.
Critic reviews
"Schilling's heartfelt narrative makes this more than just another piece of Elvis product." (Publishers Weekly)
"Me and a Guy Named Elvis is not only authentic, honest, and truly moving, it is a marvel." (Priscilla Presley)
"Jerry Schilling has captured the beauty of my father's spirit in a way that has never been done before....This book is by far my favorite." (Lisa Marie Presley)

Though Cascio was just a few years old when he first met Jackson in 1984, at the peak of the pop star’s career, Jackson was at the center of his life for the next twenty-five years.

The New York Times best-selling biography of an American comedy legend. After three years of sobriety, Chris Farley's life was at its creative peak until a string of professional disappointments chased him back to drugs and alcohol. He fought hard against them, but it was a fight he would lose in December 1997. Farley's fans immediately drew parallels between his death and that of his idol, John Belushi. Without looking deeper, however, many failed to see that Farley was much more than just another Hollywood drug overdose. In this officially authorized oral history, Farley's friends and family remember his work and life.

In 1963, 30-year-old Friedman - who had recently quit his job as a Boston advertising executive and returned to his hometown of New York to become a theatrical producer - opened a coffee house for Broadway performers called the Improvisation. His goal? Simply to make a living, and if all went according to plan, to also make enough professional contacts to be able to mount his first Broadway show within a year's time. Later shortened to the Improv, its first West 44th Street location was in a seedy section of Manhattan's Hell's Kitchen.

Danny Aiello admits that he backed into his acting career by mistake. That’s easy to see when you begin at the beginning: Raised by his loving and fiercely resilient mother in the tenements of Manhattan and the South Bronx, and forever haunted by the death of his infant brother, Danny struggled early on to define who he was and who he could be.

Elvis Presley is a giant figure in American popular culture, a man whose talent and fame were matched only by his later excesses and tragic end. A godlike entity in the history of rock and roll, this twentieth-century icon with a dazzling voice blended gospel and rhythm and blues with country to create a completely new kind of music and new way of expressing male sexuality, which blew the doors off a staid and repressed 1950s America. In Being Elvis, veteran rock journalist Ray Connolly takes a fresh look at the career of the world's most loved singer.

Greatly enjoyed
I appreciated the portrayal of Elvis by Jerry Schilling. There have been negative stories about him through the years and I'm sure some of them were probably true and understandable with the life he led. But Jerry chose to highlight the positive - the generous spirit Elvis had, the love for family and friends, and understanding of those who were sad or hurting. He has truly been a great friend to Elvis during and after his life on earth. This is a special book, uplifting and interesting. A good read.

Jerry's Best Friend Elvis
I stayed up practically all night reading this book it was so good. It's so cool and I find it sweet. Jerry was a twelve year-old kid playing football with the future King of Rock N Roll. Then he finds himself trying to become his friend and ends up being his best friend. The best stories start off with the most humble conditions. I really enjoyed this one.

Schillings ' honest and unbiased truth of Elvis
I loved this story! I cryed, I laughed and I gained a new perspective of the while lifestyle of the King!
I have read other elvis books including Elvis What Happened and Sonny West 2nd book etc. But, this read was such a great, refreshing perspective. One that had a balance and an independent approach. He has that perspective because, he knew when to walk away from Elvis and live on his own terms. Even though, growing up he was totally enamerged by Elvis. Funny how rhings work out.
I think Elvis noticed Jerry always had his best interest and respected his independent heart. That's why the remained loyal friends. And the best was the bonus material! ! I was left with such a greay feeling after listening to this book, im afraid to read another in fear of spoiling it! Jerry Schilling you are a very special person with a heart of GOLD!! Thank you!

Excellent
I really liked this book because the author writes from the heart. So much of Elvis personal life was explained with the events of the start of his career to the end. Although seen through the authors eye you still get a good sense of Elvis character off stage and the friendship they had. Plus the love Elvis had for all those people who had contact with him.Recommend to all Elvis fans. I was sad when the book ended I wanted more because it was that good.

This is one of my favorite books about Elvis.
I absolutely love this book on Elvis written by his true friend Jerry. As he said it has what we all really want to know like what was Elvis really like. It is an honest yet loving account and filled with genuine love and friendship as well as being a fascinating read. This one and the one Linda wrote are the best of all of them in my opinion. Some of the other people who wrote books on Elvis were obviously just around him for what they could get and did not care for him at all. Ginger's book comes to mind.

Being a lifetime fan of Elvis and loving the new movie, I was excited to hear Jerry Schilling’s perspective about his friend and employer. Who was Elvis? What was it like to be around the King?
This book did not disappoint! I really enjoyed hearing about his best friend, who was always there for him…whom he loved like family. I didn’t want it to end. I was 8 years old when Elvis passed away. I was devastated and still wish he were alive. How could the biggest star be gone? I hope Elvis realizes how much he is still loved. Thank you to the author for this loving tribute which shows the human side of an amazing man. RIP Elvis; you are missed.

thanks Jerry for your stories of your friend Elvis. I am a huge fan so I enjoyed it thoroughly but I know that anybody would be interested in knowing more about the man not just the Entertainer. so thank you for sharing your memories with us. it was great hearing stories all the way from high school until the very sad premature and of his life. I love Elvis but even more now. thank you

The Best On Elvis I Ever Read or Heard
This book is phenomenal. if you want to really know the man Elvis Presley. Jerry really opens that door. How Elvis saw himself & explains his open heart for those around him. His intellectual side, creative side & spiritual side. I love this book & the beautiful relationship Jerry had with Elvis.
