ReplyDeleteBryan Cranston has had a very interesting career. He has worked from popular sitcoms and movies to Japanese animé series like Armitage III. He made his debut on television when he was just 8 years old, appearing in a commercial. However, he didn't want to be an actor until high school. After graduation, he studied acting and moved to Daytona Beach, Florida where he participated in major theatrical productions like Barefoot in the Park and Death of a Salesman. His television series debut came in 1982 when he joined the cast of the soap opera Loving.
