Scottish-born actor, Alan Cumming has had a long career. He’s been in everything from cult classics like "Romy and Michelle’s High School Reunion." To Mainstream blockbusters like "X2: X Men United." Alan is eclectic. Time Magazine once called him one of the three most fun people in show business (the others were Cher and Stanley Tucci).

Alan Cumming’s new book Baggage: Tales from a Fully Packed Life is about how his life, including his work life, has been shaped by his baggage and how he has learned to live it. 

In this interview, Alan speaks about his career, the Spice Girls movie, and why his grandmother was so influential in letting his freak flag fly.
