S3 E2: Bryan Cranston and Marianne Jean-Baptiste talk starring in Arthur Miller’s classic play All My Sons

For Series 3 episode 2 of the Delfont Mackintosh podcast, we spoke to two of Hollywood's biggest names  Bryan Cranston and Marianne Jean-Baptiste.  Emmy and Tony award-winning actor Cranston is best known for TV shows Breaking Bad and Malcolm in the Middle, while his co-star, Oscar-  Bafta- -and Golden Globe-nominated actor Jean-Baptiste, is acclaimed for her portrayal of Vivian Johnson in the TV series Without a Trace (2002–2009), and for her role in the Mike Leigh film Secrets & Lies.  All My Sons centres on Joe Keller, played by Cranston, and his wife, Kate, played by Jean-Baptiste. Joe is a self-made businessman whose wartime profits came at a terrible cost: selling defective aircraft engines. This deceit led to the deaths of multiple pilots, including his own son, Larry. The action unfolds years later as the full truth of Joe's transgression comes to light.
