Who am I writing this letter to?
Bryan Cranston.
Who is Bryan Cranston?
Bryan Cranston (age 56) is an award-winning American actor, writer and
director. He is very famous for his role as Walter White in the AMC TV show,
Breaking Bad, and he is also well-known for his role as the father character
named Hal in Malcolm in the Middle. So far, he has won 4 Emmys for his
outstanding performance as the lead role in Breaking Bad and he has been
nominated several times for his other roles. He is currently working on the 5th
Season of Breaking Bad with a salary of $125,000 per episode. As of now, his
net worth is over $30 million.
Why am I writing to him?
Bryan Cranston has a lot of experience in his profession. He started
his career by portraying minor characters. He was not paid much and
difficulties started to swarm into his career. However, he managed to move up to the highest positions
in American drama after gathering more experience and expanding upon his talent.
His hard work led him to become one of greatest stars on TV and allowed him to
win lots of awards. Also, throughout his career, he has shifted between the
types of environments he worked in. For example, he has moved from Comedy to
Dark Family Drama within a short period of time while still keeping up his
reputation. Although I have no objective of being an actor, I still want to be
like him. My prime intent is to be a physician. That takes 10 years at least.
It is much like Cranston’s career. So, I want advice for him to see how he was
able to build up on his career over such long periods. Also, as a doctor, I
will have to deal with different patients and fix various situations. This is
much like Cranston’s life in the entertainment industry – moving from Comedy to
the depths of total seriousness. So, I want to know how he has learned to deal
with different types of people and used these interactions to become better in
his career.
So, here’s the letter…
Dear Bryan Cranston,
My name is Tahmid Zawad. I am from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. I used to
be a big fan of your hit TV show “Malcolm in the Middle”. I always liked all
the hilarity and drama. Now, I am an even bigger fan of your work in “Breaking
Bad”, which I would say, is the best TV drama series I have watched. I think
you are an amazing actor and the way you blend in with different environments
in acting – from comedy to dark drama to action – always greatly inspired me. Watching
amazing actors such as yourself, I have always wanted to be big and successful
although I may never win an award so prestigious like the Emmy. In short, your
work and achievements are very inspiring.
It inspires me even more than you have worked so hard to achieve your
fame and respect as an actor, currently being at the peak of your career so far.
I understand it did not start off easy as you had to begin by playing small roles.
Your career moved slowly but, in the end, you achieved BIG. And that is why I
want to ask you for advice. I want to go to medical school by the time I am 20
after finishing bachelors in life sciences. Then, it will take roughly over 10
years to become a licensed physician. So, my career path is very slow and I have
to be really patient to be able to be successful while also being competitive
to become a doctor out of the many, which is very similar to the way the
entertainment industry, works. Also I always enjoyed how could so easily change
from being “Hal” to “Walter White”, hence moving from comedy from more serious
drama. Since I want to be doctor, I will have to deal with and get used to
different types of people and conditions, while also making myself better at my
career, which you always did. Thus, I would like to ask you about how you were
able to build up on your career on your path to success. I would really
appreciate if you told me more about your life story and about the important
things you learned from life that worked for the better part of your career. I
would be very pleased because this would give me a more clear idea of the “real”
world which comes after high school. And I am sure your advice and guidance
will allow me to make better decisions.
It was a great pleasure writing this letter. Thank you for your time
and consideration.
Sincerely,
Tahmid Zawad
