5 Awesome Bryan Cranston Movie Roles You Shouldn't Miss

4. Larry Crowne

Trying his hand at the Rom-Com genre, Bryan plays the role of Dean Tainot in this light-hearted film. Directed by and starring Tom Hanks alongside Julia Roberts, Larry Crowne certainly boasts star power as a pairing like that is rarely seen in modern cinema.

Dean is a porno-obsessed, ex-professor and general all-round slacker who tells his wife Julia Roberts he is an internet blogger, which she knows is just a cover for his laziness. When it starts to become clear to her that Dean is a loser, she realises what a good thing she could have with Larry, the character played by Tom Hanks. The film sometimes feels slightly aged in formula and concept as well as character but this is remedied by a cameo from the one and only George Takaei (obviously.)
