Bryan Cranston Biography

Bryan Cranston Biography: Cranston, born in Hollywood on March 7, 1956, did not begin his acting career until after college. On the other hand, his father tried unsuccessfully to find such work before leaving Cranston and his siblings with their mother in 1967. Cranston’s father was away from his life until he was 22 when he and his brother Kyle reestablished communication (later, he would admit that he based much of his Breaking Bad performance on his father’s characteristics). Cranston described one fascinating incident from his childhood in various outlets much later: At the age of 12, while horseback riding at the now-infamous Spahn Ranch in California, he had a brief encounter with one Charles Manson, shortly before the crimes now known as the Manson murders took place.

Bryan Cranston Career

Bryan Cranston did not pursue performing seriously until 1976 after he graduated from Los Angeles Valley College with a degree in police science. His parents were ambivalent about acting. Before his acting career began in earnest in the 1980s, he worked as a minister for the Universal Life Church, a waiter, a security officer, and a camera operator for a video dating service.

From 1983 to 1985, he played a recurring role in the ABC serial opera Loving. In the late 1980s, he starred in the short-lived television series Raising Miranda, and his voice has been heard dubbing various Japanese media for American audiences, most popular the first season of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers – earning him the distinction of being the namesake for one Billy Cranston, also known as the Blue Ranger.

Cranston continued to work as a character actor on increasingly important television series, eventually appearing in an episode of The X-Files in 1998, where he met Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan. During this period, he also got roles in feature films, including the famous astronaut Gus Grissom in 1996’s That Thing You Do! and a prominent but brief role in 1998’s Saving Private Ryan. In 2000, he was selected as family patriarch Hal in the Fox sitcom Malcolm in the Middle, which ran for seven seasons. Cranston directed multiple episodes of the show. His work on numerous television programs continued, including guest appearances on How I Met Your Mother and a part in the 2006 film Little Miss Sunshine.

In 2008, he made his Breaking Bad debut as Walter White, a role that catapulted him to global fame and landed him supporting roles in films such as Drive and Godzilla and leading roles in The Infiltrator and The Upside. He has also continued to direct television and has been involved in numerous charitable endeavors. His career came full circle in 2018 when he became the voice of the “Built Ford Tough” advertising campaign, and in 2019 he made an improbable return to the role of Walter White in the Netflix sequel film El Camino. And his work as an actor has awarded him numerous honors and awards, including three consecutive Emmys for his portrayal of Walter White on Breaking Bad.
