10 Strangest Reasons Actors CLASHED On Set
8. Bryan Cranston Was Pissed Over Larry Hankin Forgetting His Lines - Breaking Bad
By all accounts, Bryan Cranston took his role in eventual mega hit Breaking Bad incredibly seriously. His committed work as Walter White definitely helped establish him as one of the finest thespians working today over the course of the series' epic five-season run.
However, it was that drive to deliver the best work possible that ultimately led to one of Cranston's on-screen colleagues surprisingly feeling his wrath during the shooting of one particular BB moment.
As revealed by Old Joe actor Larry Hankin when eventually sitting down to talk with Cracked, during his second episode as the character, his lines kept disappearing from his mind in the middle of the scene where Joe sold the magnet to Jesse Pinkman and Walt.
Rather than support his flapping co-star, though, Cranston strangely went full Heisenberg on Hankin, telling him first to "Get your lines down" before following up with an intense "What’s the matter with you? Remember your lines," when he forgot them again.
Needless to say, Cranston's unexpected fury didn't help matters. But after being reminded that all actors go up on their lines on occasion, his director's statement of "we’re losing the light, so f*** Bryan and let’s just finish this scene," soon kicked him back into gear.
And he didn't forget those pesky lines again.
