In his unique and engaging voice, the acclaimed actor of stage and screen shares the emotional story of his complicated relationship with his father and the deeply buried family secrets that shaped his life and career.
A beloved star of stage, television, and film—“one of the most fun people in show business” (Time magazine)—Alan Cumming is a successful artist whose diversity and fearlessness is unparalleled. His success masks a painful childhood growing up under the heavy rule of an emotionally and physically abusive father—a relationship that tormented him long into adulthood.
When television producers in the UK approached him to appear on a popular celebrity genealogy show in 2010, Alan enthusiastically agreed. He hoped the show would solve a family mystery involving his maternal grandfather, a celebrated WWII hero who disappeared in the Far East. But as the truth of his family ancestors revealed itself, Alan learned far more than he bargained for about himself, his past, and his own father.
With ribald humor, wit, and incredible insight, Alan seamlessly moves back and forth in time, integrating stories from his childhood in Scotland and his experiences today as a film, television, and theater star. At times suspenseful, deeply moving, and wickedly funny, Not My Father’s Son will make readers laugh even as it breaks their hearts.

If you are looking for a showbiz insider memoir with dish and gossip, look elsewhere. This is a memoir in the truest sense of the world, a journey of one of the entertainment world’s most original, engaging and talented members. I have always been a fan of the professional Alan Cumming — admiring of his chameleon-like adaptation to his roles, his ability to take on anything. Usually with a twinkle in his eye, but with an aura of vulnerability that somehow makes it through that glint. Who could portray MacBeth and then go right into the emcee of Cabaret with barely a moment’s rest between. Add to that the manipulative, complex and totally loyal character of Eli Gold. So when did he have time during this past busy year to pen a memoir of such honesty, depth, and style? Most think of him, so he describes himself, as an elf in a middle aged man’s body. This book is a revelation, not of inconsequential pap, but substance and what he holds in his deepest heart.
