In this sincere, funny, witty and brilliantly written memoir, Bryan Cranston recalls his difficult fate, where he had to play many "roles": a newspaper peddler, a security guard, a painter, a priest suspected of murder, a lover, a husband and, finally, a father. And of course, the actor will tell where he drew inspiration for creating the image of the legendary Walter White. "Life in roles" is the story of a career full of ups and downs, the story of a man who has gone a long way from a little boy abandoned by his father to a movie star, a story in which he does not hide anything and tells the reader about himself with utmost honesty.
