Bryan Cranston, Walter White and Breaking Bad
Posted on 5/12/22 at 10:11 am

So in consideration for the Walter White role was Bryan Cranston, Mathew Broderick and John Cusack. In my humble opinion, I think Bryan Cranston was the perfect choice. But then I wonder, could anyone, anyone have been a better fit for the Walter White role??? Doubt it but open to suggestions.

Broderick would've been great but I doubt he'd have signed on for a lengthy role like that.
Cusack would've ended up going over the top.

Cusak would have played Cusak. That would have sucked.

I had to look to see what Broderick looks like today.
He looks like a chemistry teacher.
I'd have a hard time believing Ferris killing people like a crazed drug lord however.
*I never watched Malcom in the Middle, so Cranston was a complete unknown to me.
Cusack? He's better off dead.

Bryan Cranston was that role. From hair to no hair to underwear to Heisenberg. I can't personally picture anyone else doing it.

Cranston was Malcom's goofy dad and swinging Dentist Tim Whatley before Breaking Bad. I don't think that anyone saw that career change coming.

I have a hard time as well imagining Mathew Broderick as a killer drug lord. Has he done that type role before? Wondering how well he pulled it off if he has.

i have a problem picturing Broderick living anywhere other than New York or Chicago

And his gravelly voice.
Even though Matthew Broderick might have the unassuming look they would be looking for, I can't imagine "I am the one who knocks" or "You're goddamn right!" in his more nasally Ferris Bueller voice.

ETA: Plus Broderick survived a deadly car crash where two people died (he was cleared of charges), so possibly why he avoids those roles.

I have trouble imagining Broderick as intimidating.

If I remember right, back when the script was being kicked around, there was some interest from Patrick Stewart. I could actually see that.

Cranston played the role so well I can't imagine him as anything other than Walter White.

Well, that wouldn't be an issue as I never thought Walter was intimidating. At all.
I found it funny when he tried to be.

Yes, he and Patrick Stewart are intriguing possibilities.

Michael Emerson (from Lost, Person of Interest) is a possibility.

Like others I have a hard time visualizing Broderick slaying a bunch of drug lord baddies and I don't really see Cusack as being as good as Cranston in that role. I think they got it right because he pretty much nailed it
