Star Wars Episode 7: 8 Actors Who Should Be Cast

4. Bryan Cranston

Bryan Cranston Larry CrowneWhy Bryan Cranston? I've never watched an episode of Breaking Bad (nor do I currently plan to) but when Anthony Hopkins sends an actor a gushing fan letter, you've got to take notice of them. And having looked into some of Cranston's work on Breaking Bad, I can easily understand the hype around him. He's a brilliant actor who can convincingly portray a huge number of facets of a single character, as evidenced by the transformation of Walter White over the course of Breaking Bad's five seasons. Lots of fans are saying that Episode 7 should see a return to darker territory along the lines of The Empire Strikes Back and if you need an actor who can take a character into some very dark places and perform such a massive transformation in personality, Bryan Cranston's your man. Who Could He Play? A tragic villain who starts out working with the New Republic but gradually becomes twisted by the Dark Side.
