Alan Cumming

When he published his first memoir back in 2014, the actor and
author Alan Cumming took a deep dive and opened up about his
traumatic childhood. In his second memoir, Baggage: Tales from a
Fully Packed Life, he dispels the myth that he had 'overcome' his
trauma or 'triumphed' over it. Cumming believes that a willingness
to be vulnerable is what captivates audiences, whether it be on
stage or on screen, and he boasts an eclectic filmography ranging
from Stanley Kubric's Eyes Wide Shut to Spice World. In this
episode of Full Disclosure, he speaks to James about what he values
about all of these experiences. His second memoir is out now.
