Excellent bio of a great actorBy Roland CalvertJohn Gilvey has two essential qualities a biographer needs: he is an excellent writer and a meticulous researcher. He tells the story of the man whom Mayor Bloomberg called "a quintessential New Yorker;" indeed one who "symbolized the city." Jerry Orbachs triumphs on the Broadway stage are recounted in detail as well as his less successful attempts to break into film and his final great success on TV as Detective Lennie Brisco in "Law and Order." The most moving part of the book is the actors struggle with prostate cancer for the final decade of his life. His courage and dedication to his art may well bring tears to your eyes. It is good to have the story of this gifted man so well told.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. The Definitive Jerry Orbach LifeBy David F. McbrideJohn Anthony Gilveys Jerry Orbach; Prince of the City: His Way from "The Fantasticks" to "Law and Order" is a masterfully penned biography of this beloved New Yorkers New Yorker. This work superbly guides the reader on the journey which was Orbachs life from his birth in 1935 to his death in 2004.The reader experiences Orbach; the child; the theatrical performer in high school all the way through the May 2004 season finale of Law and Order; the show that Orbach helped make so successful for NBC. Dr. Gilvey teaches the reader to appreciate Jerrys professional respect for the audience and through Jerrys cherishing of each and every performance of every diverse role as actor or singer throughout his varied career; especially on the live theatre stage; particularly on Broadway. Jerry won the Tony Award for Best Actor in Promises; Promises (1969).At the outset of the book the reader enjoys the lyrics to Try to Remember which Orbach performed as a young "El Gallo" in the musical; The Fantasticks. Carrying the Try to Remember theme through every stage of Orbachs life; Gilvey brilliantly titles the chapters and section headings with that signature songs stanzas! This concise and accessibly worded book is also richly illustrated with apt photos celebrating every stage of Jerrys life. The author narrates the important events in Orbachs experience as much as possible through Orbachs own reflections and words. The reader quickly learns to admire Jerrys acting and singing versatility which accompany the usually sage decisions he made throughout his career. The reader is awed by Orbachs native genius and innate sense of what the audience relates to on emotional; psychological and intellectual planes. We also come to appreciate his omnipresent generosity of spirit through his sense of humor illustrated by hilarious practical jokes with fellow cast members. The reader also suffers with Orbach his disappointments both as an actor and in his failed first marriage. However; we are often reassured that Orbach was a loving; caring and responsible parent. This book clearly demonstrates that Dr. John A. Gilvey has set a new standard of excellence in biographical writing. BRAVO!!!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. has a special touch of camraderie about it as you can tell the author thoroughly enjoyed writing this bookBy Beth HegedusThere has always been something incredibly special about Jerry Orbach. From the first time my voice teacher played for me "The Fantastics" and I heard Orbachs mellifluous tones emanating from the stereo...I was hooked. I also remember listening to him in "Carnival" as I prepped for that audition too. His Broadway career is nothing but stellar. However; it was his second career in "Law Order" that showed another side of the song-and-dance man -- his acting chops. A family member was an extra on Law Order; and said Jerry Orbach could not have been nicer. Jerry Orbachs voice was unmistakable; and his theater skills were outstanding. This book; written by John Anthony Gilvey; has a special touch of camraderie about it as you can tell the author thoroughly enjoyed writing this book; and captures the essence of what made Jerry Jerry. I highly recommend this for anyone who wants to read more about "Lennie Briscoe"; Jerry Orbach; song and dance man; or a guy who just loved New York City and theater!
