Informácie o knihe
Bryan Cranston landed his first role at seven, when his father, a struggling actor and director, cast him in a commercial. Soon, Bryan was haunting the local movie theater, reenacting scenes with his older brother. Acting was clearly his destiny - until one day his father disappeared. As a young man on a classic cross-country motorcycle trip, he found himself stranded at a rest area in the Blue Ridge Mountains. To pass the time he read a tattered copy of Hedda Gabler, and in a flash he found himself face-to-face with his original calling. Suddenly he thought: this was what he would do with the rest of his life. Act.
In his riveting memoir, A LIFE IN PARTS, Cranston traces his journey from chaotic childhood to his dramatic epiphany, to mega-stardom and a cult-like following, by revisiting the many parts he's played, on camera (astronaut, dentist, candy bar spokesperson, President of the US, etc.) and off (paperboy, farmhand, dating consultant, murder suspect, son, brother, lover, husband, father). With great humour and humility, Cranston chronicles his unlikely rise from a soap opera regular to a recurring spot on SEINFELD. He recalls his run as the well-meaning goofball, Hal, on MALCOLM IN THE MIDDLE and he gives a bracing account of his challenging run on Broadway as President Lyndon Johnson, pushing himself to the limit as he prepared for a tour de force that would win him a Tony to accompany his four Emmys. And of course, Cranston dives deep into the grittiest, most fascinating details of his greatest role, explaining how he searched inward for the personal darkness that would help him create one of the most riveting performances ever captured on screen: Walter White, chemistry teacher turned drug kingpin in BREAKING BAD.
Discussing his failures as few men do, describing his work as few actors can, Cranston has much to say about innate talent, its benefits, challenges, and proper maintenance, but ultimately A LIFE IN PARTS is about the necessity and transformative power of hard work.
