Bryan Cranston

Bryan Cranston, born on the 7th of March 1956, is the American actor who turned a mild chemistry teacher into one of television's great tragic monsters, Walter White of Breaking Bad, a transformation that won him four Emmys and a Golden Globe. Before that he was the harried, elastic father Hal in Malcolm in the Middle, and around it he built a formidable stage career, taking Tony Awards for playing Lyndon Johnson in All the Way and Howard Beale in Network, plus an Oscar nomination for Trumbo. Few performers move so fluidly between comedy, crime and the classical stage.

His Sun in Pisces is the old soul and shape-shifter, the empath who dissolves into whatever he inhabits, a sponge for the full range of the human condition, exactly the gift of an actor who vanishes into his roles. That Sun shines from the tenth house, the very throne of the chart, marking a life lived in public view and destined for the top of its field. His Moon in Capricorn is the stoic, disciplined psyche that grew up early, set in the eighth house of death and rebirth, the phoenix that fuels his darkest characters. A Gemini Ascendant gives the quicksilver, versatile mask of the perpetual messenger.
