Published during Elvis Week in 2017, here’s my piece for Film Comment on Elvis as an actor.
And here’s the talk I gave at The Memphian in Memphis, on Elvis’ acting career.
And finally: the piece I just wrote for Criterion on “Elvis’s Adventures in Hollywood“.
I happened to come across this collection of quotes from musicians about the influence of Elvis and thought you might be interested.

This is great – thank you. I’ve heard many of those quotes before – but there were many that were new to me. Jackie Wilson! Wow! He had nerve to say that!!
and nobody can TOUCH jackie wilson on the talent front!
