Difficulties do not exhaust, but harden

The birth of Bryan Cranston was not a special event in the family of actress Audrey Peggy Sell and producer Joseph Louis Cranston. They already had two children. The parents of the future owner of a nominal star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame were broken people who could hardly cope with their duties. As a result of financial difficulties, they had to mortgage the house, from which the family was subsequently simply evicted. Mother, in order to earn money for food, sold the remaining things at the flea market. Little Brian was a regular in the neighborhood dumps, where he was looking for something worthwhile that he could sell and get some money for the family. After the departure of their father, the children were brought up more by their grandparents.

With such a start, Bryan Cranston was ready for the disappointments and hardships of adulthood, he was sure that he could survive under any circumstances.
