Before
he
was
the
one
who
knocks
on
Breaking
Bad,
Cranston’s
breakout
performance
was
as
Hal
Wilkerson,
the
patriarch
of
the
family,
earning
three
Emmy
nominations
during
the
show’s
six-year
run.
Of
course,
Cranston
went
on
to
deliver
one
of
TV’s
most
iconic
performances,
playing
science
teacher-turned-drug
lord Walter
White,
on
one
of
TV’s
most
iconic
series,
Breaking
Bad,
for
five
years.
He
won
four
Emmys
during
his
run
as
TV’s
ultimate
anti-hero,
forging
a
close
bond
with
his
co-star
Aaron
Paul.
In
2019,
the
friends
teamed
up
to
release
their
own
artesanal
mezcal,
disappointing
fans
hoping
for
a
Breaking
Bad
revival.
(Hey,
at
least
he
made
a
cameo
in
El
Camino,
Netflix’s
Breaking
Bad
sequel
film?)
Following
those impressive
runs,
Cranston
continued
to
earn
critical
acclaim
for
his
work
in
films
such
as
Trumbo
(which
earned
him
his
first
Oscar
nom)
and Isle
of
Dogs, as
well
as
the
HBO
TV
movie
All
the
Way,
with
his
portrayal
of
president
Lyndon
B.
Johnson
earning
him
a
SAG
Award.
Before
it
hit
the
small
screen,
All
the
Way
had
a
beloved
run
on
Broadway,
with
Cranston
winning
a
Tony
for
his work
on
the
stage.
He
won
a
Tony
again
2019
for
his
return
to
the
stage
in
Network.
But
in
2016,
Cranston
told
E!
News
he
was
hoping
a
Malcolm
in
the
Middle
revival
would
eventually
happen,
saying, “I
sure
hope
so…I
really
do,
for
no
other
reason
than
that
I
miss
those
people
like
crazy
and
I
stay
in
touch
with
them.
The
boys
are
doing
great
and
Jane
is
doing
wonderfully
and
I’d
love
to.”
