Breaking Bad Cast: Where Are They Now?

It's hard to imagine now, but Bryan Cranston was once considered a risky fit for the role of Walt White. Until Breaking Bad, his most famous role was as neurotic father Hal in the beloved sitcom Malcolm in the Middle.

After a guest spot on The X-Files, though, he was drafted into Breaking Bad by Vince Gilligan, and the rest is history. Cranston blew audiences away with his horrifying portrayal of greed and desperation, and won countless awards for his efforts.

With Breaking Bad done, Cranston co-created the sitcom Sneaky Pete, which ran for three seasons on Amazon, and secured recurring roles in SuperMansion, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and The Stand.

In terms of his movie career, he secured an Oscar nod for his role in the biopic Trumbo, and won praise for his appearances in Argo, Godzilla, The Infiltrator, Last Flag Flying and El Camino.

He currently owns a drinks company with Aaron Paul and is starring as the lead in the brilliant drama series Your Honour, which was recently renewed for a second season and promises to keep Cranston on our TV screens for the foreseeable future.
