“Thaao Penghlis combines the best of 3 worlds: His Greek origin gave him the spirit of Ulysses and the wisdom to enjoy the journey. His Australian upbringing graced him with a deep and philosophical sense of humor, and his life and work as an actor in [the] United States and especially in Los Angeles led him to a brilliant career and a better knowledge of himself and the demanding art of acting. His book is as exciting as his life and leaves us with a positive feeling of how many things we can achieve when we dare to follow our dreams. I enjoyed every page.” —Los Angeles Greek consul

“You expect one thing, and you get an antipodean novel. I love Thaao’s stories. His photographs alone describe his life. It’s a truthful, beautiful memoir told by a great adventurer, a fabulous chef, and a gorgeous Greek. He tells it all. It’s a ‘you can’t put it down’ biography.” —Joanna Cassidy, actress

“Thaao Penghlis is a true renaissance man. Places is intriguing, informative and an absolute page turner.” —Doris Roberts, actress, Everybody Loves Raymond

“Places is a beautiful, revealing, enlightening, and rare book. Unflinchingly truthful and entertaining, it pulls you into the undertow of the truly amazing journey Thaao has lived. For anyone who has felt alone, been touched by kismet and reached for the stars it is a must read! All actors can learn from the raw and revealing truths shared by one of my favorite actors that I’ve directed.” —Howie Deutch, director
