A LIFE IN PARTS

In this gritty, honest memoir, Emmy Award-winning actor Bryan Cranston looks at both his career and his life as crafts to be honed and perfected. The narration is pitch-perfect, profound, and room filling, thanks to Cranston’s sonorous timbre and expert inflections. Audio fidelity and production values are exceptionally strong, and Cranston’s performance is on par with any of his award-winning TV roles. Listeners will likely enjoy hearing in detail all of his preparations and mind work for such series as “Breaking Bad,” “Malcolm in the Middle,” “Seinfeld,” and his Tony Award-winning turn in the LBJ piece “All The Way.” Additionally, Cranston’s sometimes painful and sometimes fun early adventures as a dock loader, farmhand, motorcyclist, and more are colorfully explored. This is a winner—a great listening experience. W.A.G. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2016, Portland, Maine [Published: OCTOBER 2016]
