Episode Transcript
Direct from Hollywood with Ryan Seacrest. Long before Brian Cranston
played a suburban dad turn at villainous crime lord as
Walter White's on Breaking Bad. He played a suburban dad
whose biggest crime was in the fashion department as Hal
Wilkerson on Malcolm in the Middle A Rold. Brian just
returned to to mark the sitcoms twenty fifth anniversary with
a four episode revival that he and the rest of
the cast and crew recently wrapped production on, and when
(00:22):
it came to get back into character after so many
years away, Cranston did, in fact rely on How's questionable
style to get him there. He tells people it's putting
on a short sleeve shirt, that Hal would wear a
pattern short sleeve shirt that screams out he's not going anywhere.
Sipping back into that character of how for me was
so rewarding. I missed him. It's been almost twenty years
since we say goodbye, and he's a sweet, lovable man.
(00:43):
He's really a lovable guy, and it was fun to
see my whole Wilkerson family get back together. Brian Cranston
there on the joy of returning to play Howe. The
revival of Malcolm in the Middle. Look for that Disney
plus that's direct from Hollywood.
