“Nothing short of riveting...an engrossing first-person account by one of our finest actors” (Huffington Post)—both a coming-of-age story and a meditation on creativity, devotion, and craft—Bryan Cranston, beloved and acclaimed star of one of history’s most successful TV shows, Breaking Bad.

Bryan Cranston began his acting career at the age of seven, when his father, a struggling actor and sometime director, cast him in a commercial for United Way. By fifth grade he was starring in the school play, spending hours at the local movie theater, and re-enacting favorite scenes with his brother in their living room. Cranston seemed destined to be an actor. But then his father left. And his family fell apart. Troubled by his father’s missteps, Cranston abandoned his acting aspirations and resolved to pursue a steadier career in law enforcement. Then, on a two-year cross-country motorcycle journey, Cranston re-discovered his talent for acting and found his mission and his calling.

In this “must-read memoir” (The Philadelphia Inquirer), Cranston traces the many roles he inhabited throughout his remarkable life, both on and off screen. For the first time he shares the story of his early years as an actor on the soap opera Loving, his recurring spots on Seinfeld, and his time as bumbling father Hal on Malcolm in the Middle, to his tour-de-force, Tony-winning performance as Lyndon Baines Johnson in Broadway’s All the Way, to his most iconic role of all: Breaking Bad’s Walter White.

“An illuminating window into the actor’s psyche” (People), Cranston has much to say about creativity, devotion, and craft, as well as innate talent and its challenges and benefits and proper maintenance. “By turns gritty, funny, and sad” (Entertainment Weekly), ultimately A Life in Parts is a story about the joy, the necessity, and the transformative power of simple hard work.

Incredibly cool life story and very interesting background. Also cool that the actor himself put his voice into the book.

Very good book

Die bunte, bodenständige, von einem festen Arbeitsethos geprägte Autobiografie von Schauspieler Bryan Cranston, bekannt vor allem für seine preisgekrönte Rolle in „Breaking Bad“. Für Fans interessant, für junge Schauspieler bestimmt lehrreich und von Cranston stimmungsvoll mit einer überraschend schönen Stimme gelesen, ist das eine Autobiografie der unterhaltsamen Art ohne die üblichen tiefen Abgründe, die man sonst gewöhnt ist.

Etwas langatmig.
Die Einblick in BB waren spannend und haben nochmal einen neuen Blickwinkel generiert.
Die traurige Lebensgeschichte war wenig inspirierend ;)

It was such a pleasure to listen to Brian Cranston's stories told by himself, I felt like he was here next to me, telling me about his life. Sometimes I talked back at him like a lunatic, lucky that nobody else saw me.

You won't regret it

Cranston is the face of a new way of storytelling on the TV screen.

He does what he does brilliantly... storytelling.

Is his yes you can if u just work hard on it lamento a bit repetitive.. yes.

is it a bit misplaced of him to involve in his storytelling theraputic sessions which included his siblings? for my money, yes.

I think it's a miracle how close the myth of an actor is always repeating in his work.


DeNiro for example in his characters the ongoing loner with his rigid systems and coping mechanisms.

With Cranston in this book I got to see a very determined controlling personality which like his characters would go any lengths to succeed. And like with Walter, I couldn't empathize ,
because I found his perspective just a bit too rigid, too righteous.

Actually: I think Bryan Cranston in his character is the John Wayne of his time...a cowboy with more nerd credibility.. but like the name of his character.. whiter than white.

the content:

I got the impression that its a lot of debris piled together to make a hardcover... and that said.. the audiobook is worth it.. because for the better or worse.. if Cranston reads a phonebook.. he still will get you!

a working actor...
