Sad departure: Bryan Cranston shortly passed away in plen crash accident including… more details
After the dramatic death of Walter White in the series finale of “Breaking Bad,” some may have believed that Bryan Cranston’s role as the chemistry teacher turned meth kingpin had ended. However, they would be mistaken. Since then, Cranston has played the role a couple of times, mostly in projects that are directly related to “Breaking Bad,” like the flashback scenes in the sequel “El Camino” and the spin-off series “Better Call Saul,” but also in things that are more silly, like some really ridiculous Super Bowl commercials. Cranston revealed in an interview with Awards Radar in 2023 that he has one major condition for ever playing Walter White again—one that has evidently been met a few times before. Even though Cranston’s most recent portrayal of White was merely an enhanced version of himself imitating Heisenberg from “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia,” he is not entirely opposed to resuming the role in its entirety if the right circumstances exist. Fans of the misanthropic antihero, who can’t get enough of Cranston’s Breaking Bad, might find that to be pretty exciting. Cranston’s only requirement to reprise his role as Walt AMC “Never underestimate” series showrunner Vince Gilligan, who created “Breaking Bad,” “El Camino,” and “Better Call Saul,” Cranston said in the interview. He was fine returning to work with Gilligan to play Walt in flashbacks, and he was also fine playing the character in commercials alongside Aaron Paul, who played Jesse Pinkman, Walt’s lovable but damaged sidekick. He told Awards Radar, “With all of those reprisals under his belt, he can also never say never to playing Walt again.” “I’ll just leave it at that. I know Vince wouldn’t want to do something where he didn’t need a paycheck, and neither did I, so let’s respect that.” Nothing is coming up. But if there was something about which he awoke from a dream and exclaimed, “Oh my God,” and he told me about it, and I also exclaimed, “Oh my God,” then I would look at it. When you read or hear a pitch, you rarely experience an “Oh My God” reaction. You should pay attention if something astonishes and awes you. So, if that happens, I don’t think it will happen, but if it did, I would listen. In a similar vein to Danny DeVito’s willingness to reprise his role as the Penguin if director Tim Burton is involved, it appears that Cranston is willing to reprise his role as Walt. That doesn’t mean, of course, that the One Who Knocks might be revived in a kind of silly way. Philly’s biggest buffoons in Breaking Bad FX Look, our reviewer didn’t like the “It’s Always Sunny” episode in which Cranston played himself, but this “Sunny” fan thought it was a fun crossover of the biggest clowns in Philadelphia and the biggest fictional drug dealers in Albuquerque. I mean, Walt and Jesse have statues in Albuquerque, so their status is pretty well established. Cranston and Paul are attempting to promote their (real-life) brand of mezcal, Dos Hombres, in the episode “Always Sunny,” and the group decides they want to get in on the celebrity booze action. Charlie (Charlie Day) drinks Nickleschlager, which is vodka mixed with nickles, steals a limousine, and Cranston eventually gets tired of being bossed around. He goes full Heisenberg on everyone, giving them a terrifying monologue and putting them in their place before revealing that he is just playing with them. It’s all a little silly, but it’s fun, and I think Cranston deserves some silly fun after spending so much time playing a miserable, bitter character. RECOMMENDED For more information, visit
