Homer's Odyssey (Idiocy)

This is a true, heartfelt, crazy story of a dramatic life. John Dybvig was a washed-up basketball pro wannabe in the States. His only claim to fame was unintentionally starting a stadium riot. At the age of 30 he ran off to the South Seas paradise of New Zealand. There he went down one comedic outrageous path after another. I was an American billboard in a very, very strange land with my own newspaper column, my own radio show and, yes, even my own television show. As an actor he has appeared alongside such greats as Christopher Lloyd, Jack Black, Ron Silver, John Hurt, Lucy Lawless and Tom Selleck (almost) to name a few. From the romance of Fiji to bumped into Salman Rushdie to covering the O.J. Simpson murder chase live on national TV, this book has it all! But more than the astonishing, exciting and amusing stories, John also shares very personal and thoughtful comments and reflections on accents and acting, sport and coaching, and what he has learnt about life, love and family.
