Interesting memoir from Bryan Cranston illustrating the thirty-year overnight success story of someone who determined early that in contrast to his would-be actor parents, the way to play compelling, dangerous and highly strung characters was to be grounded, reliable, emotionally secure and happily married. Along the way, there are vignettes about learning to study people via being a retail loss prevention officer, working in 1970s soap opera, long-time friends like John O'Hurley, being covered in bees for Malcolm in the Middle, unknowingly making an impression on Vince Gilligan playing a repulsive X-Files character, and key moments in Breaking Bad.
