An interesting look at becoming an actor from Bryan Cranston.
Unsure when this was filmed but I’d guess several years ago.

Congratulations to Bryan Cranston for finally winning an Emmy Award! He won in the category of Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series for his role as Walter White is his new show, Breaking Bad.
Finally people are recognizing his talent! If only they would’ve discovered it years ago while he was on Malcolm in the Middle.

Bryan is currently filming the second season of Breaking Bad.
My character is well into his chemotherapy, I lost 17 pounds and shaved my head. This is what most actors dream about.
He did an Interview with AMC Breaking Bad Blog about filming the second season.
Q: Did you ever have doubts that Breaking Bad would return for a second season?
A: Like the nomination itself, I just try to focus on the things I can control. So I leave it up to the TV gods to decide what the outcomes of anything should be, and I was hoping we would get a pick-up because the pilot and the first season were very compelling drama. And a lot of people get the dark humor — we’re getting the kind of avid fan base that can’t wait to see what happens next, and that’s what you want.
Q: How does it feel to be back on set after the hiatus?
A: It was six months ago that we finished the last season. So it does take some getting used to, remembering faces of your crew members. But once you get past the newness of that, it’s like slipping into a pair of old comfortable shoes. We know we’re going to be in good hands with the writers and crew.
Q: Season 1 was cut short by the writers’ strike. Did this give Vince an opportunity to re-evaluate where the story should go?A: He had an idea of what he wanted to do for the two episodes that we didn’t get to. And because we didn’t get to it, all things wash out. It ended where it ended, then he gets a chance to re-evaluate it, think about it over the hiatus and now look at an arc of thirteen episodes as opposed to six. And of course it changes things.
Q: Where would you like to see the show and your character go in the future?
A: I think eventually I’m going to die in this show, and rightfully so. [Laughs]. I deserve it. In the meantime whatever happens, happens. But we can’t accelerate a storyline in order to think that we only have this season to tell it. I do know that because of the conditions of the character and what has been established already and what Vince has already stated is that he wants to have a show where your lead character changes. And as he semi-jokingly puts it, he wants to turn Mr. Chips into Scarface. Maybe not that drastic, but interestingly enough not all that far away.
Season 1 DVD of Breaking Bad is expected to be released January 20, 2009. So far we know its as a 2-disc set running 346 minutes, featuring episodes presented in anamorphic widescreen video, with English – Dolby Digital 5.1 audio and French subtitles. Pre-order from Amazon now!
The Breaking Bad cast and SAG hosted a public event to talk about their experiences in the industry and filming in New Mexico on October 25.

Bryan Cranston told nationalledger.com that he’s one of the latest celebrities to go “green” as he spent time off during the writer’s strike working on an environmentally friendly home.
I’m designing a house for my family. It’s a vacation house. I’m going to draw the design myself and have it built in green with solar panels, recycled materials and things like that.
In other unrelated Cranston news that we didn’t get round to posting before:
Bryan presented at the Independent Spirit Awards in February.
In March he participated in the annual A Night at Sardi’s in LA to benefit The Alzheimer’s Association of the California Southland, at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, performing selections from Bye Bye Birdie.
In April he presented honors for community service and volunteerism at the 2008 Spring Luncheon of the Down Syndrome Association of Los Angeles and the National Down Syndrome Society.
In May he attended the 13th Annual Congressional Breakfast on Capitol Hill for National Missing Children’s Day, fifteen law enforcement officials from throughout the U.S. were honored.
In August he attended the Duke City Shootout competition where scripts are filmed and edited and premièred in 1 week. Cranston, who said he and his family love Albuquerque and have purchased a house in the city, called the whole concept of the Shootout “brave” and asked that the filmmakers, once they’re famous and working regularly, remember to hire him.

Ever since Breaking Bad started airing in January people have been saying that Bryan deserves an Emmy, and he has now passed the first hurdle to that goal. Congratulations to Bryan on getting nominated for ‘Outstanding Lead Actor In A Drama Series’ announced on July 17th.
Before the nominations where announced The Hollywood Reporter’s Ray Richmond gathered nine actors, all with major primetime TV series roles, for a provocative discussion of the Emmys and their careers. Bryan was one of them.
THR: David, did you have a great evening when you were nominated for “Just Shoot Me” in 1999?
David Spade: I actually remember my Golden Globe loss that year more than my Emmy loss. I got beat by Gregory Peck. That prick! And he came out of nowhere!
Bryan Cranston: And as I recall, wasn’t he already dead at the time?
Spade: He died on the way to the podium. He said, like, “I can’t believe I won this award for my 90-second cameo.” And I’m like, “Me, too!”
——–
THR: Bryan and Ted, you both made major inroads with audiences in comedic roles, but now you’re thriving in drama series on cable. Was it a tough sell for you to make those changes?
Cranston: Not in my case. I mean, actors just love to act. The only thing I think we really concern ourselves with is not being pigeonholed in any one thing. We look for the well-rounded opportunity, and “Breaking Bad” was surely that. I’d once guested on David’s show “The X-Files” 10 years ago, when Vince Gilligan was a producer over there. Fortunately, he remembered me when he was putting together his new show. He was my champion to get this role from the beginning.
Danson: I’m sure my agent and my manager pursued it for me. But when you see writing like this show has, and a star like Glenn Close, and a network that takes chances like FX, I felt lucky landing the part. You always go for the good writing.
——–
THR: David and Blair, you’re also on cable — do any of you feel a greater sense of creative freedom as actors working on cable shows?
David Duchovny: Having the full flower of the English language tends to be good for comedy. It’s a treat as an actor to be able to actually speak in a role the way one speaks in life.
Cranston: It’s different for David because he’s on the premium channel. On AMC, they actually give us a limit of how many “shits” or “f***s” we can use each week. You negotiate it. If we say “shit” once in an hour, we might get two “f***s.”
——–
THR: But the fact that there is an FX, an AMC, a Showtime, an HBO for shows that don’t fit into the restrictive broadcast parameters has to be good in terms of inspiring greater quality and variety than TV has ever before offered, no?
Cranston: No question. It’s been overused that we’re in another Golden Age, but I think we are. The bar has been set really high. I don’t think a show whose lead character is cooking crystal meth in the heartland could ever be considered for a broadcast network. So cable is opening up a lot of avenues for story lines that have long been closed.
——–
Baldwin: Wait a minute. I wanted to ask a question of everyone, if I may. What would be your dream TV show, if you could do anything?
Blair Underwood: I’d love to do an update of “The Wild Wild West.” Not necessarily in outer space.
Cranston: I’d like to go retro with some sort of “Andy Griffith”-type show.
