That line was so true and insightful to his amazin acting knowledge....it's that part of trying not to cry that hits us emotionally different as a viewer.....crazzyyyy
I can sit through a movie/show with something sad happening and not feel the impulse to cry if the characters are. But if the characters are not crying I feel a need to empathize with them. Not something I ever though of before. Interesting.
reminds me of The Last of Us (episode 3) from this past week.. so many people cried from that episode for obvious reasons and one reason was the great performances and seeing a man who you know does not cry easily..just break down :(
His impersonation of Aaron Paul as Jesse Pinkman is astoundingly good, because he didn't try and mimic the actual sound of his voice, but mimicked the inflections *SO* well that it is a perfect impersonation
Bryan is literally one of the most captivating people I’ve ever seen. This man really knows how to tell a story, and on top of that he’s a brilliant actor. Truly a master of his craft.
he is absolutely in my top 10 for favorite actors, grew up on mitm and watched more of the things hes acted in! hes incredible, no matter the media or character
I never watched Malcom in the middle and I kind of want to now. I found him in Breaking Bad and I'm with you, I love hearing him talk. I think he's the guy I would want mentoring me if I was interested in becoming an actor.
You can tell Sean (like most of us) is just mesmerized with how Bryan loves to share his experiences and how genuine he is, and you can tell just by looking at how he does it.
Imagine yourself in a calm demeanour, telling a younger kid or someone younger than you something that you learned at exactly that age. There is a great joy in sharing experiences and stories that one learned from. It's the same here, he is like a grandfather and Sean is like a younger kid or grandkid.
@@josiahgonzalez942 Well, one can say that. What I'm trying to say is that even if he's not that old whenever there's a small age gap, the older people will always (most of them) will be telling you something, a story, an experience that has lesson of their mistakes, etc. which the younger if they are listening can benefit from (sometimes)
You can tell Sean (like most of us) is just mesmerized with how Bryan loves to share his experiences and how genuine he is, and you can tell just by looking at how he does it. The way he speaks, the hand gestures, eye contact. That's a real person right there. Props to Sean, too, for letting Bryan talk as much he enthusiastically wants to. Great episode!
He's an actor, it's all honed and very well-rehearsed. Not to say he's not genuine, but he practices all of that and consciously makes use of it in order to be an effective speaker
I've gotta say, that was easily one of the best Hot Ones interviews I've seen to date. Bryan Cranston feels absolutely insightful and genuine while clearly enjoying the wings. He feels like he is giving thoughtful answers and isn't just here to promote his show.
I was thinking the same thing, he's got like young grandpa energy if that makes any sense lol. Has fun/jokes while telling stories about his life that teach you. Great guy, I might watch Why Him or Breaking Bad after this
Easily the best interview. I’ve never seen Sean struggle while the interviewee did not. Then Brian just blew every single answer out of the park. Truly phenomenal interview.
@@turboslowdown7567 Michael Cera I think has handled it better than anyone I've seen. Not even the slightest twinge. It was like he was immune to spice.
Bryan Cranston would make the best teacher ever. I would go to his class every day, he just has such a mesmerizing way of explaining things. It doesn't matter what he's talking about, I'm interested.
I’m a theatre major and one of my community college professors brought in Bryan for our pandemic-friendly Acting for the Camera class on Zoom and let me tell you… he’s one of the most humble and inspiring people I’ve had the pleasure to talk to and I will never forget the advice he gave us
I love that the goal of this show is to break down the exterior so interviewees are more authentic, and that even when faced with this, he is still so articulate and thoughtful with every answer… EPIC!

Bryan Cranston has got to be the best interviewee ever. His story telling is awesome! I love how he goes into every little bit of what he says in detail, but at the same time, makes it so understandable, relatable, and entertaining that the listeners and even Sean is engaged and listening.
I actually teared up a little bit when Bryan talked about the Great Expectations interviews. That was so touching! I love how observant he is and how he finds the beauty in people
Yeah I think he gets the heart of what’s important. As a person and an actor, he wants to capture these amazing, real and raw moments. I loved that in the interview. This was my favorite part. It really cements he knows the beauty of laughter and emotion so well. He wasn’t going to turn it on until they shined.
Bryan Cranston is so charismatic, the way he speaks just pulls you in. Also has some incredible insights into his craft, and it's always so interesting to hear how brilliant character actors like him approach their work.
I love how Sean always asks super thoughtful, open-ended questions that allows the interviewee to take it where ever they may want to go. Just a master class in interviewing 101.
And no matter how often he does it Da Bomb still hits him as hard as the guest he's interviewing, but like Bryan did, he always keeps it consistent and intelligent. A master class in grace under pressure, on both sides in this one.
exactly. tbh to me idk if i can really consider him a humble everyday type either just because of how effortlessly charismatic he is and how charming yet informatively he speaks. he's a natural star, you don't meet people like that often
I mean he was the only one that played that character lol. You can't really go off of one and say no one could've done it while it might've been another actor that would've played and you would've said the same thing.

Easily the most real actor out there. This man is somebody every single person on the planet would enhance their life by having a simple conversation with. This was an absolute joy to watch.
I can’t get enough of Bryan‘s storytelling - he is such a joy to listen to. He was great in Conan O’Brien‘s recent podcast episode too, definitely one of the greatest actors of our time!
This might sound weird but bryan looks and acts so much like my father who passed away almost 2 years ago and bryan brings me so much comfort i can’t describe it.
Love that Brian can actually have a conversation instead of trying to move things along he doesn't try to shy away from the question and gives a lot of himself to the answer.
He's probably one of the wisest people out there. You can hear it when he speaks. He speaks wisdom from his experiences and listening to him feels like a privilege.
As someone who's going through a hard time, there were a few segments that hit hard to hear. But hearing them is going to help me improve in life, and I'm very glad that Bryan Cranston of all people is telling it to me. Thank you so much for everything you have ever done to this world, Bryan. You absolutely deserve all of the love from everyone.
"Forgiveness is a human stength... if you can't say you're sorry you will never be in a long term relationship" so true. Bryan knows his acting and his life experiences. Great episode.
This concept took me far too long in life to learn but I am grateful I was able to. Forgiveness lifts such a weight off of our shoulders and makes life a much more pleasant experience.
One of my legit favorite actors ever! Actors like him, Robin & Jim, actors that could seamlessly go from comedy to drama are the most talented in my opinion!
Such an articulate man. Truly the definition of thinking before you speak and only speaking when you have something to say. One of my favorite things about this show is you get to see the guest true emotion and character by the end when they’re more worried about the flames in their mouths rather than giving perfect answers…. It was comforting to see his character remain the same which shows it’s genuine.
You obviously haven't been paying attention to the WOKE, irrational, racist drivel he's been spouting lately. This is the type of weak man that brings about BAD TIMES.
You can really just feel his passion and love for acting when he talks about it. The point he made about characters who cry easily vs characters who try to hold it back and it gets through was something I'd never specifically noticed. But, as soon as he said it, I thought back to the most recent times I cried during a film or tv show and they all shared this in the performance. Also just seems like a really pleasant guy.
Another actor (sorry I can't remember who) also said this. That people naturally don't want to cry, they try their hardest not to, that's what distinguishes good acting in those moments.
I watched Brian Cranston on Malcom in the Middle growing up and then on Breaking Bad in my early 20s.Ive never watched an interview with him before now. I'm surprised how eloquent and wise he is in real life. Very practical and down to earth and even inspiring.
He's one of the few people of what I call the "true actors" generations that we are slowly not seeing anymore in the big screens. You can see how much he loves acting, how seriously he takes and how much educated he is about acting. I'm glad that shows like this give him the opportunity to show how smart and down to earth he truly is, instead of watching him make a funny joke or two or play games at Fallon.
It’s impressive how insightful he is with everything that he does and says, i think very few actors really put their all into their work and live around acting. Bryan is a true gem.
this interview made it make sense. Why in every single thing he is in he is good. He cares so much about what he does and understands so much about the film making process. Truly an amazing creator
There's no such thing as "class". It's an abstraction invented by wealthy "elites" in an attempt to validate and expand their deluded feelings of superiority.
Bryan talking about his time working at the matchmaking business is one of the most wholesome things I've ever heard, such an amazing person and an equally amazing host
The way he talked about Vin got me choked up. Really made the hurt of Vin's passing sting again. Someone I never knew in the flesh, but I can say I share Bryan's memory of Vin.
Malcolm in the Middle was a big show in our house growing up. Looking back, Bryan Cranston did such an awesome job with Hal. He's definitely an actor that has always put out a great character
I never listened to Vin Scully as a child or growing up, but hearing Bryan talk about him really put in perspective why he was loved so much. I put myself in Bryan's shoe as a kid and could only imagine the peace he'd get for those 3 hours. Truly beautiful.
I met Vin Scully once. Part of my job. He was very nice and knew I was a die hard Giants fan. He made a point of telling me he was too. I couldn't believe it but, he told me growing up as a kid in New York the Giants were his team. It was after this 'incident' that I learned a lot about him. Still the only "Dodger' I like.
Game 5 1984. I watch this game at least 2 times a year wishing my dad's cancer had let him live just a few months longer so we could watch our home town Tigers win a series together. I was born just 3 weeks after they last won in 1968. He died 6 July 1984.
Towards the end, I've never seen Sean Look so intimidated by someone's minimal reaction to the heat, especially while he struggling himself. He looked into Bryan's eyes and realized he was the danger.
This is the most I've ever seen Sean struggle through an interview... 😨 ...but also Bryan Cranston literally going through them wings like it's NOTHING 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 AMAZING.
This was a great episode. The ability of Sean and this show to allow these people the freedom to open up the way they do is refreshing. I love listening to Brian Cranston in this episode. It was mesmerizing.
Watching Bryan Cranston is always a joy. He plays such a range of characters, but is always this genuine, uplifting guy that will always make you smile. Stan The Cran
The 18:41 mark where Bryan is talking about his Video Dating job back in the day and how he got the best out of people by getting them to relax and just be who they are from across the table was so very beautiful. You can tell he's a solid dude and why he's such a great actor.
I worked closely with Cranston on the set of Your Honor. He’s as cool and humble and fun as you’d hope he is. And also scarily professional in both his acting and producing. Great guy.
Listening to Bryan describe putting on his headphones and 'floating away' during a rough childhood had me in tears. I felt for him so much and also related to my own bad childhood coping mechanism: my sony walkman. I only had a few albums, but whenever I hear those songs now they still have a calming, disassociate effect on me.
@Music Farms It truly is! Oh wow, did you see them on the tour they're on right now? I've never seen Tetrapod live, that sounds like an incredible experience. Seeing tMG live is truly powerful and like a spiritual experience (speaking as someone with no spiritual inclination whatsoever). Hearing Get Lonely live was truly special for me.
"acting is not a fling, it's a relationship" that's so inspiring. And his last line about forgiveness is so true for that as well. If you can't forgive yourself for your past mistakes, you'll never grow.
I'll never understand this kind of thinking. You don't know him. He's a great performer and seems like a decent person sure, but you only know who he presents himself to be. You know his public persona. Personally, I separate my admiration for someone's talents from my feelings about them on a personal level. In other words, while he's my favorite actor I have no personal feelings towards him, positive or negative. I can admire his achievements and capacities without forming some sort of bond. Do you really think you know him well enough to "confirm that he's one of most genuine and sweetest guys"?
I had the pleasure of being on set with Mr. Cranston for a movie several years back. He was a true professional. Courteous to everyone, clearly brilliant as an actor and willing to let all "characters" in the room try, whether in, or out of character. I met him at the coffee bar on set and it felt like I was standing next to an extra. He has no pretension.
The fact that Bryan is able to put people at ease and allow them to bring forth their best selve's is a great reflection of just how genuine he is. So glad to see him happy and successful.
Bryan is an example of an actor if you ever saw one in every possible aspect of acting, as well as passion of it, and being a generally positive individual.
@@rickybaillie4222 I have never seen Bryan Cranston do his work badly, but he is not truly great at becoming someone else. Of course all actors bring something from themselves to their roles, but Cranston doesn't become someone completely unrecognizable from his other works. Sacha Baron Cohen can do that transformation with unmatched credibility and in that sense Cohen is better actor.
18:30 BC talks about working for this dating company in very different part of his life with the same integrity as he does his current acting roles. He talks passionately about it like he just experienced it, not decades ago. He's very interesting.
I have never clicked on a video faster. Growing up with Malcolm in the Middle and Breaking Bad being my all time favorite show, Bryan is an absolute legend to me.
This guy is one of the most interesting actors to listen to. He really has a sharp mind for stories. Honestly blows my mind that he was on Malcolm in the Middle. That show seems so not Bryan that it actually proves he has further range than most actors. He can do slapstick comedy sitcoms and hugely professional dramatic roles from plays to television series'. Guy is a real legend.
Such a legend that you think Malcolm in the middle is “not him.” He got cast in Breaking Bad and I was skeptical purely because he was the lead. For a long time Malcolm was BY FAR the most iconic and notable thing he had done.
Heisenberg returns! Thumbs up if Breaking Bad is in your TV Mount Rushmore.
Did he tell you guys how to make the blue stuff
Malcolm In The Middle too my guy 🤓
Would love to see Mads Mikkelsen here, and Mia Goth.

@@rebeccamaracle2878 wish yo dad da best🤞
he does give that fatherly figure so much. Even I felt like I was his son watching this
One of the best actors of all time. My childhood. My adulthood. What a guy.
I second this ☺️🫶🏻
3rd, he is such a great actor, Walter White is the best TV show character of all time
4th
Brilliant actor
Not even close, only role his played that stand out is Walter in breaking bad and that's about it. To be a good actor you need to have quantity.
His Pinkman/Paul impression at 14:00 is so good I had to rewatch it a few times just to really take it in.
So funny!!
Literally just now
Yea that “yo have one” was scary accurate 😂
He absolutely nailed it!
Love that Brian can actually have a conversation instead of trying to move things along he doesn't try to shy away from the question and gives a lot of himself to the answer.
He's probably one of the wisest people out there. You can hear it when he speaks. He speaks wisdom from his experiences and listening to him feels like a privilege.
Watch the Colin Farrell one. Exceptional. Never ever would have expected someone so down to earth and wise after how he used to be.
That was beautifully put.
Listening to him talk about the dating service really shows that he cares about EVERYTHING he does. What an inspiration.
Favorite part, genius
He is such a thoughtful well spoken guy. He deserves all the success he has gotten.

As someone who's going through a hard time, there were a few segments that hit hard to hear. But hearing them is going to help me improve in life, and I'm very glad that Bryan Cranston of all people is telling it to me. Thank you so much for everything you have ever done to this world, Bryan. You absolutely deserve all of the love from everyone.
"Forgiveness is a human stength... if you can't say you're sorry you will never be in a long term relationship" so true. Bryan knows his acting and his life experiences.
Great episode.
This concept took me far too long in life to learn but I am grateful I was able to. Forgiveness lifts such a weight off of our shoulders and makes life a much more pleasant experience.
Sean struggled more on Da Bomb, while Bryan was totally fine and answering the questions perfectly, absolute LEGEND!!
Cranston was channeling his inner Heisenberg.
he is the danger, and he is the one who knocks 🤣🤣🤣
and he was humble about it too. Even when Sean complimented him.
Right ! This was the first time I've seen Sean hiccup
One of my legit favorite actors ever! Actors like him, Robin & Jim, actors that could seamlessly go from comedy to drama are the most talented in my opinion!
Such an articulate man. Truly the definition of thinking before you speak and only speaking when you have something to say. One of my favorite things about this show is you get to see the guest true emotion and character by the end when they’re more worried about the flames in their mouths rather than giving perfect answers…. It was comforting to see his character remain the same which shows it’s genuine.
One of the greatest actors of all time..but one of the greatest human beings as well. The world needs more people like him
You obviously haven't been paying attention to the WOKE, irrational, racist drivel he's been spouting lately. This is the type of weak man that brings about BAD TIMES.
Until you hear him gush about CRT being taught in schools
yeah
worship celebrities!!!
You're responding to a bot
You can really just feel his passion and love for acting when he talks about it. The point he made about characters who cry easily vs characters who try to hold it back and it gets through was something I'd never specifically noticed. But, as soon as he said it, I thought back to the most recent times I cried during a film or tv show and they all shared this in the performance. Also just seems like a really pleasant guy.
"I can..."
Like when all the football players are crying in Brian's Song.....you really feel it because they never cry!
Another actor (sorry I can't remember who) also said this. That people naturally don't want to cry, they try their hardest not to, that's what distinguishes good acting in those moments.
*waltuh u got #1 on treading waltuh! me finger "trending lightly" now walteh*
I watched Brian Cranston on Malcom in the Middle growing up and then on Breaking Bad in my early 20s.Ive never watched an interview with him before now. I'm surprised how eloquent and wise he is in real life. Very practical and down to earth and even inspiring.
He is really infectious. The way he talks is really more than a story. You can feel what he was saying.
He's one of the few people of what I call the "true actors" generations that we are slowly not seeing anymore in the big screens. You can see how much he loves acting, how seriously he takes and how much educated he is about acting. I'm glad that shows like this give him the opportunity to show how smart and down to earth he truly is, instead of watching him make a funny joke or two or play games at Fallon.
Yup it’s a true art form that he’s carrying the history forward and paving a way for the future
A true thespian
we stan bryan
If you can'r find amazing younger actors then you're not looking very hard at all
Him and Jeremy Strong are the couple of actors I've seen with complete and utter dedication to the craft
It’s impressive how insightful he is with everything that he does and says, i think very few actors really put their all into their work and live around acting. Bryan is a true gem.
Absolutely. Such a role model, I love how wise he is.
Bryan supports CRT and he hates being white.
this interview made it make sense. Why in every single thing he is in he is good. He cares so much about what he does and understands so much about the film making process. Truly an amazing creator
Having class actors enjoying to return to Hot Ones is a gigantic compliment. Good job Sean & Crew.
There's no such thing as "class". It's an abstraction invented by wealthy "elites" in an attempt to validate and expand their deluded feelings of superiority.
Sean is a legend. They all gotta be proud
@@sirianrune198 Thanks for the socio-political lecture no one ever asked for. Now go back to reddit.
This feels more like a wholesome father and son moment.
Yeah the (grand)fathery vibes are really strong on him

everybody is like a son when in a room with Bryan
Bryan talking about his time working at the matchmaking business is one of the most wholesome things I've ever heard, such an amazing person and an equally amazing host
The way he talked about Vin got me choked up. Really made the hurt of Vin's passing sting again. Someone I never knew in the flesh, but I can say I share Bryan's memory of Vin.
This episode really just pulled me in. Bryan Cranston's ability to completely immerse you in his monologue is impressive.
When he asked a rhetorical question i actually nodded in acknowledgment
the fact that you mention malcom in the middle and breaking bad in the same sentence so nonchalantly just goes to show how amazing of an actor he is.
Bryan's eloquence is unmatched, I love him so much. 🥰
Malcolm in the Middle was a big show in our house growing up. Looking back, Bryan Cranston did such an awesome job with Hal. He's definitely an actor that has always put out a great character
I never listened to Vin Scully as a child or growing up, but hearing Bryan talk about him really put in perspective why he was loved so much. I put myself in Bryan's shoe as a kid and could only imagine the peace he'd get for those 3 hours. Truly beautiful.
Behind the bag! It gets through Buckner, here comes Knight and the mets win it!
Vin*
I met Vin Scully once. Part of my job. He was very nice and knew I was a die hard Giants fan. He made a point of telling me he was too. I couldn't believe it but, he told me growing up as a kid in New York the Giants were his team. It was after this 'incident' that I learned a lot about him. Still the only "Dodger' I like.
Game 5 1984. I watch this game at least 2 times a year wishing my dad's cancer had let him live just a few months longer so we could watch our home town Tigers win a series together. I was born just 3 weeks after they last won in 1968. He died 6 July 1984.
@@2112splunge Ernie Harwell was our Vin Scully
Bryan has that soothing radio/podcast voice that just pulls you in and makes you listen regardless of what he's talking about.
Should narrate his autobiography
He’ll always be kid Charlemagne
Towards the end, I've never seen Sean Look so intimidated by someone's minimal reaction to the heat, especially while he struggling himself. He looked into Bryan's eyes and realized he was the danger.
"I am the one who questions!"
“I am the one who knocks.”
The moment where Bryan became the danger
It kinda made me wish I could assure poor Da BOMB that he's doing his job just fine.
*waltuh u got #1 on treading waltuh! me finger "trending lightly" now walteh*
Bryan Cranston is such a well spoken class act. You can tell that acting is truly his passion, he lights up and talks about it so eloquently.
He's such an amazing balance of philosophical and completely down to earth. Freaking brilliant.
This is the most I've ever seen Sean struggle through an interview... 😨
...but also Bryan Cranston literally going through them wings like it's NOTHING 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
AMAZING.
Was thinking the same.
I've noticed mo.wnts over the last year it's Suttle but I think the wings are starting to take a toll on him

So wholesome 😭😭
This was a great episode. The ability of Sean and this show to allow these people the freedom to open up the way they do is refreshing. I love listening to Brian Cranston in this episode. It was mesmerizing.
Watching Bryan Cranston is always a joy. He plays such a range of characters, but is always this genuine, uplifting guy that will always make you smile.

The 18:41 mark where Bryan is talking about his Video Dating job back in the day and how he got the best out of people by getting them to relax and just be who they are from across the table was so very beautiful. You can tell he's a solid dude and why he's such a great actor.
He proved to be incredibly insightful just with that brief explanation of his job
I was amazed by this whole interview, truly a kind of a man

I think this was one of the best episodes of Hot Ones I have ever watched. Brian Cranston is such an amazing talent.
I worked closely with Cranston on the set of Your Honor. He’s as cool and humble and fun as you’d hope he is. And also scarily professional in both his acting and producing. Great guy.
Liar😊
No you didnt bruh
I believe him
I'm his mother. He's the light of my life
I worked with Kanye West, Kim K, John Cena, Lil Yachty, and more
Shed a tear as he was telling his baseball memory, then he explained if the actor doesn't cry the audience will. A master in his craft!
Huge respect to Bryan for taking up the hot like a champ. He was so calmed throughout. What a legend!
Idk why but Cranston just makes me smile ear to ear. What an awesome dude.
Listening to Bryan describe putting on his headphones and 'floating away' during a rough childhood had me in tears. I felt for him so much and also related to my own bad childhood coping mechanism: my sony walkman. I only had a few albums, but whenever I hear those songs now they still have a calming, disassociate effect on me.
@Music Farms definitely, also Hast Thou Considered The Tetrapod from the same album. In fact listen to all of The Sunset Tree!
@Music Farms It truly is!
Oh wow, did you see them on the tour they're on right now? I've never seen Tetrapod live, that sounds like an incredible experience. Seeing tMG live is truly powerful and like a spiritual experience (speaking as someone with no spiritual inclination whatsoever). Hearing Get Lonely live was truly special for me.
"acting is not a fling, it's a relationship" that's so inspiring. And his last line about forgiveness is so true for that as well. If you can't forgive yourself for your past mistakes, you'll never grow.
I had the pleasure of meeting Bryan once and I can confirm that he's one of most genuine and sweetest guys out there. He's also a good hugger.
I'll never understand this kind of thinking. You don't know him. He's a great performer and seems like a decent person sure, but you only know who he presents himself to be. You know his public persona.
Personally, I separate my admiration for someone's talents from my feelings about them on a personal level. In other words, while he's my favorite actor I have no personal feelings towards him, positive or negative. I can admire his achievements and capacities without forming some sort of bond.
Do you really think you know him well enough to "confirm that he's one of most genuine and sweetest guys"?

The preparation that Sean goes thru each interview really shows. The questions are always really great and well thought out.. Keep em coming ;)
I had the pleasure of being on set with Mr. Cranston for a movie several years back. He was a true professional. Courteous to everyone, clearly brilliant as an actor and willing to let all "characters" in the room try, whether in, or out of character. I met him at the coffee bar on set and it felt like I was standing next to an extra. He has no pretension.

His baseball recollection and story about Vince and the MLB was simply beautiful to listen to. What a great episode. Love this man. ❤

Amen brother that really touched my heart in the deepest way
The fact that Bryan is able to put people at ease and allow them to bring forth their best selve's is a great reflection of just how genuine he is.
So glad to see him happy and successful.
Bryan is an example of an actor if you ever saw one in every possible aspect of acting, as well as passion of it, and being a generally positive individual.
He has not displayed truly great ability to become someone else. He is good actor and always reliable choice but not truly great.
@@vksasdgaming9472 Anthony Hopkins disagrees with you and his opinion is worth a thousand of yours
@@rickybaillie4222 As good as Bryan Cranston is he can't be three completely different people in same movie.
@@vksasdgaming9472 what do you mean by that, surely it should be enough to nail the role he has
@@rickybaillie4222 I have never seen Bryan Cranston do his work badly, but he is not truly great at becoming someone else. Of course all actors bring something from themselves to their roles, but Cranston doesn't become someone completely unrecognizable from his other works. Sacha Baron Cohen can do that transformation with unmatched credibility and in that sense Cohen is better actor.
Such a master class in the career of acting! Acting is a relationship and a commitment, not a fling. Such words of wisdom!
Easily one of the best guests. Hopefully he'll return in another 8 years questioning how this show will outlive us all.

18:30 BC talks about working for this dating company in very different part of his life with the same integrity as he does his current acting roles. He talks passionately about it like he just experienced it, not decades ago. He's very interesting.
I have never clicked on a video faster. Growing up with Malcolm in the Middle and Breaking Bad being my all time favorite show, Bryan is an absolute legend to me.
He is one of my favorite actors for sure 😂
@@Tokin_Alien yes indeed
def read "a life in parts" if you've not had the chance yet, made me love him even more
This guy is one of the most interesting actors to listen to. He really has a sharp mind for stories. Honestly blows my mind that he was on Malcolm in the Middle. That show seems so not Bryan that it actually proves he has further range than most actors. He can do slapstick comedy sitcoms and hugely professional dramatic roles from plays to television series'. Guy is a real legend.
Check out his scenes in Seinfeld.
I think he even worked on the old power rangers show in the early 90s
Such a legend that you think Malcolm in the middle is “not him.”
He got cast in Breaking Bad and I was skeptical purely because he was the lead. For a long time Malcolm was BY FAR the most iconic and notable thing he had done.
