Summary:
Bryan Cranston landed his first role at seven, when his father cast him in a United Way commercial. Acting was clearly the boy's destiny, until one day his father disappeared. Destiny suddenly took a backseat to survival. Cranston maps his zigzag journey from abandoned son to beloved star by recalling the many odd
parts
he's played in real
life
- paperboy, farmhand, security guard, dating consultant, murder suspect, dock loader, lover, husband, father. He chronicles his evolution on camera, from soap opera player trying to master the rules of show business to legendary character actor turning in classic performances as Seinfeld dentist Tim Whatley, 'a sadist with newer magazines,' and Malcolm in the Middle dad Hal Wilkerson, a lovable bumbler in tighty-whities. He gives an inspiring account of how he prepared, physically and mentally, for the role of President Lyndon Johnson. He dives deep into the grittiest details of his greatest role, explaining how he searched inward for the personal darkness that would help him create one of the most memorable performances ever captured on screen: Walter White, chemistry teacher turned drug kingpin. Cranston has much to say about creativity, devotion, and craft, as well as innate talent and its challenges and benefits and proper maintenance. But ultimately this is a story about the joy, the necessity, and the transformative power of simple hard work. Born in Hollywood, Bryan Lee Cranston is an American actor, screenwriter, director, producer, and voice actor. He is best known for portraying Walter White on the AMC crime drama series Breaking Bad, Hal on the Fox comedy series Malcolm in the Middle, and Dr. Tim Whatley on the NBC comedy series Seinfeld.
