His casting as Walter White is the greatest casting choice in television history. No one else could’ve played Walter White like him. He embodied that role like no one else could’ve.
-
It's insane how large of a range Bryan has. Extremely funny and slapstick to ultra serious and dramatic.
-
The fact that Walter White and Hal Wilkerson are both played by the same guy is something I can't fully wrap my head around. What an amazing actor.
-
The affection with which he talks about Malcolm in the Middle is genuinely lovely. You can tell everybody in that cast loved each other because it really shows onscreen.
-
His portrayal of Hal is so underrated because of how good he played Walter
-
I love how Bryan approached his character in relation to his counterpart. It really goes to show that he thought of the overall story and how to enhance everyone else. Just a brilliant actor.
-
I could listen him for hours, he's so passionate about the acting and the importance of being curious and creative it's really motivating
-
That’s so awesome how he mentions that he played Hal to prove the character wasn’t disinterested in his family, but distracted by other things easily. My mom actually said she never liked the show until she realized that Hal was actually a good and caring father who just got distracted by other things easily. I had no idea that was so intentional on Bryan’s part. Amazing acting!
-
Sometimes I forget that Bryan Cranston started off as his acting career in comedy. He was so menacing as Walter White that it feels weird see him also as Hal.
-
So humble and smart
-
when he explained how the passive Walter white should be and how the clothes and the style of mustach, he is a genius actor
-
Cranston is a master at giving his characters depth. Truly an actor at the very core.
-
Bryan Cranston is one of the most wholesome, not just actors but human beings to ever live.🙏
-
Are we gonna talk about how handsome he is? Especially when he was younger in Seinfeld but he’s aged extremely well too.
-
“It’s not a loss. I got to create a moment, even though that moment was never filmed.” The passion he has is inspiring.
-
I rewatch Malcolm in the Middle start to finish every couple years and every time I am blown away by how good that show is and how amazing Bryan Cranston portrays that role. Pure acting and comedy genius. Also Malcom in the Middle may be my favorite series finale episode of all time
-
Love how real he is with his answers. The tell of how talented an actor is you look at their comedic talent. Comedic acting is the hardest thing to pull off well and he consistently has throughout his career.
-
It’s crazy how Bryan contributed so much to Drive. That handshake scene is one of the most memorable ever.
-
Cranston killed it as Hal - The goofy husband who loved Lois unconditionally. The episodes hold up amazingly well... The one with the speed walking to the one with the POV as a fly. All of it.
-
Malcolm in the middle is one of the best sitcoms ever made. What a character and what a show. It was genuinely funny with incredible writing and incredible characters. One of the only shows where nearly every single side character is just as funny and quirky as the main cast. Everyone is amazing in it.
