A Life in Parts by Bryan Cranston

4.0

I've liked Bryan Cranston ever since he played the goofy father on Malcom in the Middle. Imagine my surprise when everyone is talking about the show "Breaking Bad" and the goofy father has turned into a monster. Amazing that Mr. Cranston could carry off the sheer breadth to play both parts, but he does and knocks it out of the park in the process.

I liked this book which is pretty much a short biography of Mr. Cranston's life [listened to the audio version which he himself read]. He comes across as a nice guy who is dedicated to the craft of acting and his performances demonstrate this. Whether he is as nice in private as he seems in the book who knows, he is, after all, an actor. I hope he is. It's interesting that he mentions his first wife not at all in this biography. Hmm...

At any rate, it's a good read if you're interested in Bryan Cranston.
