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.

Really enjoyed this book
Reviewed: 27-05-23
Bryan Cranstan is one of the greatest actors of our time and it was surprising to hear his insecurities about himself when he is amazing and the most believable actor he brings such true life to a character. A very humble down to earth man who puts such dedication into his rolls. I enjoyed this book so much and it was made so much better being narrated by him because you could relate to him even more . A brilliant book written and read by a brilliant man recommend 100%.

Award-winning actor, creator of a myriad of memorable characters from Lady Whiteadder to Professor Sprout, Miriam Margolyes is a national treasure. Now, at last, at the age of 80, she has finally decided to tell her extraordinary life story. And it's far richer and stranger than any part she's played.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 708
When Jo Brand hosted Have I Got News For You late last year, her calm explanation of the effects of sexism on women to a bemused all-male cast turned into a viral phenomenon. There has been a whole tradition of books over hundreds of years where a father shares his wisdom with his son - started by Lord Chesterfield in the 18th century - while women have been silent (aka bullied into thinking their advice wasn't worth writing down). This book puts a stop to all that.

'Between the Stops is a sort of a memoir, my sort. It's about a bus trip really, because it's my view from the Number 12 bus (mostly top deck, the seat at the front on the right), a double-decker that plies its way from Dulwich, in South East London, where I was living, to where I sometimes work - at the BBC, in the heart of the capital. It's not a sensible way to write a memoir at all, probably, but it's the way things pop into your head as you travel, so it's my way'.

Hello there. Welcome to my autobiography. Throughout this audiobook I talk about my life and work, including Little Britain, Come Fly with Me, Bridesmaids, Les Miserables, Alice in Wonderland and, of course, Shooting Stars. The thing is, this is a bit different to most memoirs you may have listened to, because it comes in the form of an A-Z. Anyway, I hope you buy it at least twice. Thank you.

Stop Negative Thinking

Conventional wisdom does not take into account the negativity that we feel. All it says is that we should focus more on working hard, getting that promotion, starting a family, and doing everything else to bring more positivity into our lives rather than dealing with the problem itself. But conventional wisdom has things backward. You see, it is not our success that fuels our positivity but positivity that fuels our success. In similar ways, it is positivity that makes us achieve more by changing our lifestyle, habits, and viewpoints.
