Portraying the iconic role of Walter White aka Heisenberg in Breaking Bad, Cranston is one of the most respected and revered actors in Hollywood. Known for his iconic dialogues and his art of creating methamphetamine, Heisenberg’s character is known far and wide around the world.
Although Cranston absolutely crushed the role, he isn’t like his on-screen counterpart in real life! In an interview with GQ where Cranston was joined by Scarlett Johansson, the actor talked about how he made a crew member get fired because of his inappropriate behavior while working on the sets of Breaking Bad.
“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.’”
Having a no-nonsense attitude, we are sure that Bryan Cranston was in the right. Even his co-star Bob Odenkirk recalled an experience with Cranston’s routine and praised the actor for his acting skills.

Being one of the most remarkable actors out there, Bob Odenkirk has also been much loved for his portrayal of Saul Goodman in Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. With an awesome lawyer persona to his name, Odenkirk has indeed acted in some of the best scenes from the Breaking Bad universe. The actor talked about how he learned acting from Bryan Cranston and what his routine after lunch would be like!
“After lunch sometime, [Cranston] ask[s] the caterers to make you a sandwich for dinner, because you won’t have time to go out to dinner or even make dinner when you get home. So get food, and then when you’re done, you take the food and you go home and eat it and you study your lines for the next day.”
Odenkirk further continued,
“I learned the most about acting from acting in a room with Bryan Cranston,”
