Things have a way of working themselves out, Breaking Bad's antihero Walter White proclaimed during the AMC series' five-season run. And for Bryan Cranston, the actor who plays that dark character, one of those things is a book deal.

Cranston will release the memoir and audiobook -- no title yet -- in fall 2015, Scribner Publishing announced, saying the book will provide "insights into his early years, the craft of acting and his experiences" performing as the science-teacher-turned-meth-lord.

"Walter White taught me a lot -- some of it useful, some of it dangerous," Cranston said in a statement. "With this book, I want to tell the stories of my life and reveal the secrets and lies that I lived with for six years shooting Breaking Bad."

The 58-year-old actor, who is starring in the Broadway musical All the Way as former U.S. president Lyndon B. Johnson, won three Emmys, a Golden Globe award and three Screen Actors Guild awards for his portrayal of Walter White.

"Bryan Cranston writes the way he acts -- with fierce commitment, intelligence and humor," said Nan Graham, Scribner's senior vice president and publisher.
