Bryan Cranston
Season 7, Episode 16
We’re celebrating our 100th episode! We’re either a bit early, or a bit late, depending on how you want to count ‘actual’ episodes, but it’s the thought that counts.
On this episode we chat to Emmy and Golden Globe award winner and Oscar nominee Bryan Cranston about his autobiography A Life in Parts. He chats about his acting process, reading for role research, the Time’s Up movement, favourite playwrights and a whole lot more. Robin is in the studio and Josie pre-recorded a series of questions as she was off with pregnancy related engagements.
Thank you, as always, to you our great Patreon supporters. We would never have been able to make one episode, let alone a hundred odd, without their amazing support. It is hugely appreciated by all of us at Shambles. This week, it’s a bumper Patreon edition with almost 25 minutes of extra Cranston just for pledgers.
