review=Synopsis This is now a bit of a collectors item (read out of print) for the few people who want to collect such a thing. There still are copies flapping about here and there. It tells the story of how yours truly went from being a penniless Thespian on stage in the Edinburgh Festival in 1988, to being zooshed through Hollywood in an embarrassing stretch limo in 1992. Four years which utterly changed my life as I went from unknown fringe actor to unknown TV star. ItÕs funny, highly personal (one section deals with having plaster casts made of parts of my body other than my head) and quite silly. It even has pictures. Review of The Man in The Rubber Mask from the Amazon.com, April 22nd 1999 Smegging good time for all with this book! (5 stars) This is a terrific "behind the scenes" book for all of us Red Dwarf fans, especially the ones here in the US. Wonderfully well written, this book takes you into the stiff plastic world that is Kryten, and the touching, funny world that is Robert Llewellyn. Some highlights of the book are the "American Pilot" of Red Dwarf that never took off, see how different the American actors were from the British ones, feel the pain of having to get up early to become Kryten..and learn about the koala that "kacked" on Robert's shirt. There's just too much to say here, but it is all very interesting! One of my favorite books from one of my favorite actors!
