As the highly anticipated release of Asteroid City approached, directed by Wes Anderson and starring Cranston, he shared a moving memory. A crew member was let go for “inexcusable behavior,” leaving a lasting impression about the importance of professionalism and respect on set.

“He was incredibly inappropriate and inebriated, and he made a lot of people on our show feel very uncomfortable. And when I went in to talk to my producer about it and said, ‘We’ve got to let him go. We’ve got to fire him. It’s inexcusable behaviour,’ he said, ‘It’s already done.’”

It was this dual nature of Cranston that left a lasting impression on Scarlett Johansson. His ability to be unassuming and approachable off-set by his incredible talent and intensity on screen added an extra layer of complexity to the movie and their working relationship. Considering this, Scarlett Johansson commented:
