Bryan Cranston on how his upbringing serves as a source of inspiration for his acting
CBSN
Bryan Cranston gained immense popularity for his Emmy Award-winning performance in "Breaking Bad." He now co-owns a mezcal business with his "Breaking Bad" co-star Aaron Paul and has written an autobiography, "A Life in Parts," in which he reflects on his upbringing. Cranston's father left when he was 11 and he didn't see him for a decade.
The actor said his experiences have given him opportunities to draw on past emotions — like despair and doubt — in his acting.
"You have to be willing and able to open up the treasure chest of your own experience and your own emotional, you know, value, and pull out the things that you may not be wanting to show people, you know, greed and jealousy and resentment and all the things that we humans feel," he said Tuesday on "CBS Mornings."
On April 15, 1874 – 150 years ago – the first Impressionist exhibition opened on Rue du Capucines in Paris, featuring works by 30 artists, including Paul Cézanne, Edgar Degas, Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro, and Pierre-Auguste Renoir. Hosted by the "Anonymous Society of Painters, Sculptors, and Engravers, etc.," it was founded in response to the Paris Salon, the annual, government-sponsored exhibition that would frequently reject the works of the rising artists.
Alec Baldwin had "no control" over his emotions on the set of a film where the cinematographer was shot dead, according to the prosecutor who has charged him with manslaughter. The Hollywood star was holding a Colt .45 during the preparation for a scene in the budget Western "Rust" when the gun went off, killing Halyna Hutchins and wounding director Joel Souza.
