Shocking news: Charles Barker American Actor and Writer Just Passed Away at The Aged of 53…see..more.. Charles Baker, is an actor, writer, and director. He is probably most well known for playing Skinny Pete on the Breaking Bad TV series and had a recurring role in The Blacklist NBC TV series. He tells me about his upcoming films and projects, and some of the music he enjoys listening to.
PC: As an army kid you have moved around a lot, what was that like?
CB: I’ll be honest, it was pretty hard; tumultuous and often lonely. It’s difficult to develop lasting friendships when you live such a transient lifestyle. But, at the same time, it forced me to learn to adapt to new surroundings pretty easily, so, I think it gave me somewhat of an “edge” in my future career. I talk a lot about that in my upcoming book CHAMELEON- an autobiography I spent the last year working on with a best-selling UK writer, W. S. Barton- who typically writes about Manchester United players, but, decided to take on my story for a change of pace.
PC: Who or what inspired you to become an actor?
CB: That’s a tough one. I’ve had several different answers to that question, but, if I were to be totally honest with myself and your audience, I think the best way to put it is this: I’m not sure if I ever really had a choice. I don’t mean that it was some kind of divine plan, but, to me it seems that we are all products of our environment. As I said earlier, my entire childhood was spent adapting to new environments- reinventing myself once a year, at least, just to blend into my new surroundings as fast as possible to enjoy a small modicum of the illusion of having a “normal” life -with friends and hobbies and all the things that come with that stable home life that I saw other kids take for granted yet envied so much.
