This book has been in my Want to Read list since May in Goodreads. I have never watched That 70’s Show, but I knew of his character he played. I was intrigued and wanted to learn more about him.
Unlike a lot of other memoirs I have read (and, there are a lot), his life growing up was normal. I mean, he had two loving parents and two sisters. His dad helped him to get to his auditions (even though, for his dad, it was hard times finding the funds for gas). He doesn’t drink or do stupid things like other celebrities. He is never in the limelight. He is just a normal person enjoying life.
I had no clue he was born in Miami, but lived in Venezuela from ages 3 to 13. At that time, his family moved back to the USA, but Wilmer didn’t have a grasp on the English language. He had that to barrier to master, and eventually, he did.
This books tells his extraordinary story of he got That 70’s Show, other tv roles, and movie roles. He dd a few stints with the USO and happily talked a lot about those experiences. He did mention wife and daughter towards the end of the book.
Overall, I enjoyed this book and am glad I read it.
