I really liked the honesty of Williams b davis

although I do not at all agree philosophically with him his book is honest and entertaining

Revealing, sweet

Gave me a good chuckle. If you enjoy comprehensive narratives covering every aspect of live performance, and don’t mind a bit of a cheeky narrator, this is for you. Lots of early life stuff, it’s clear he loved his childhood and I learned a hell of a lot about Canada. Five stars for the performance, classically trained voice.

Doesn’t get to X-Files until the last 3 hours.

Interesting early life. Likes to repeat his young age with some of his accomplishments. Quite the horn dog in his youth. Barely mentions his water skiing records. Only gets to XF near the end. A little bitter towards the end regarding lack of success after XF of a few of the actors including himself. Throws shade at Donald Sutherland, Gillian Anderson, and David Duchovny.
