520 "Risky Business. Revenge of the Nerds. Better Off Dead.
Moonlighting. Supernatural. American Dad. New Girl. What
do all of these movies and television shows have in
common? Curtis Armstrong. A legendary comedic second
banana to a litany of major stars, Curtis is forever
cemented in the public imagination as Booger from Revenge
of the Nerds. A classically trained actor, Curtis began
his incredible 40-year career on stage but progressed
rapidly to film and television. He was typecast early and
it proved to be the best thing that could have happened.
But there's more to Curtis' story than that. Born and bred
a nerd, he spent his early years between Detroit, a city
so nerdy that the word was coined there in 1951, and,
improbably, Geneva, Switzerland. His adolescence and early
adulthood was spent primarily between the covers of a book
and indulging his nerdy obsessions. It was only when he
found his true calling, as an actor and unintentional nerd
icon, that he found true happiness. With whip-smart, self-
effacing humor, Armstrong takes us on a most unlikely
journey--one nerd's hilarious, often touching rise to the
middle. He started his life as an outcast and matured
into...well, an older, slightly paunchier, hopefully wiser
outcast. In Hollywood, as in life, that counts as winning
the game"--|cProvided by publisher.
