Jenelle Riley Deputy Awards and Features Editor Matt Knudsen says his recent Hollywood memoir isn’t so much a “tell-all” as it is a “tell-some.” Far from revealing a seamy underside of the business, the actor and stand-up has taken the revolutionary stance of relaying stories about friendly celebrities and positive adventures in his new book, “Have I Seen You In Anything?: True Hollywood Stories from a Guy that Seems Familiar.” Most recently onscreen as a regular patient of Jason Segel’s therapist on the AppleTV+ comedy “Shrinking,” Knudsen has spent the last two decades as a working actor, sharing scenes with everyone from Michael Douglas to Alan Arkin. In his book, now available for purchase on Amazon, Knudsen details these encounters and more — including getting his union card thanks to Ben Stiller and winning $90,000 on a game show with help from Chuck Woolery.

I think people are sick and tired of cynicism and negativity. Enough
