In theatre, he starred in the title role for the first West End run of Jerry Springer: The Opera.
Over the course of this career, he’s built up a lot of stories to tell. All of them are recounted by Brandon himself in the audiobook version of his autobiography, That’s All I’m Sayin’, which is now available from Big Finish Productions.
This audiobook also includes the bestselling author Lynda La Plante reading her foreword. And, purchasers will be given digital access to all the photos included in the original print book, as well as additional bonus pictures.

From the bustling streets of Brooklyn to the bright lights of Hollywood, Michael Brandon's life has been anything but ordinary. In this candid and captivating memoir, he shares the untold stories of his rise to fame, the whirlwind romances with Hollywood's most iconic women and the wild adventures that shaped him.
Brandon pulls back the curtain on the golden era of film and television, revealing the highs, the heartaches, and the hard truths behind the glamour. With razor-sharp wit and unflinching honesty, he dives into the reality of working in the industry, the abuse of power behind the scenes, and the moments that defined his extraordinary career.
From starring in legendary films to navigating the excesses of fame, from Hollywood sunshine to European escapades and learning to love rainy London, That’s All I'm Sayin' is a rollercoaster read filled with humour, heart, and the kind of behind-the-scenes stories only an insider can tell.
