Giancarlo Esposito has a fascinating story to share, and he's ready to take fans along on his candid journey through life in his upcoming memoir. The renowned actor, known for his critically acclaimed role in "Breaking Bad," recently sold the rights to his untitled autobiography after a heated bidding war. The Crown Publishing Group, in partnership with Sugar23 Books, emerged as the winner and will bring Esposito's story to readers.
The book will delve into the details of Esposito's life, starting from his birth in Europe to a Black American mother and Italian father. It will trace his upbringing and the challenges he faced as the second child of a mixed-race couple. Esposito's family eventually moved to the United States, where they struggled to make ends meet in a small one-bedroom apartment in Upstate New York.
The official description of the memoir promises to explore the complexities of Esposito's relationship with his parents and his experience of racism in America. Despite his Italian heritage, he faced discrimination after moving to the States. Things took a bizarre turn when, at the young age of eight, he became the sole breadwinner for his family after landing a role in a Broadway musical.
As the years went by, Esposito's career flourished, earning him numerous awards and hundreds of roles in both film and television. However, despite his success, he found himself bankrupt, divorced, and unable to provide for his ex-wife and four daughters. Hollywood didn't quite know what to do with him until one fateful call changed everything – his role in "Breaking Bad."
The announcement of his memoir comes just two months after Esposito opened up about some of the struggles he faced in life. During an appearance on SiriusXM's "Jim & Sam" show, he revealed a particularly dark moment when he contemplated arranging his own murder to secure financial stability for his family. He explained that he was so desperate for money that he considered orchestrating his own death to ensure his life insurance would provide for his loved ones.
This traumatic event is just one of the many experiences that Esposito will likely share in his memoir. Currently, he is busy starring in and executive producing AMC's "Parish" and has also landed a role in Netflix's "The Gentlemen." Recent reports also reveal that he will play the villain in Marvel's highly anticipated film, "Captain America 4."
Esposito's incredible journey through life is one that will undoubtedly captivate readers, and his memoir is sure to be a must-read for fans and non-fans alike. As we eagerly await its release, we can also look forward to seeing more of Esposito's talents on our screens in the coming months.
