Bryan Cranston on ‘Your Honor’: ‘Every human being has an internal trigger’

December 07, 2020 01:14 pm | Updated December 08, 2020 11:59 am IST Bryan Cranston, 64, looks a picture of calm as he settles down before his phone’s camera for our Zoom call. Could the new outing be yet another genre-defining turn for Cranston, whose prodigious talent, many still feel, hasn’t gotten its due time on-screen since 2013? We see it in wild animals even, a bear protecting its cubs and becoming aggressive,” he continues, “But it really is a parent’s worst nightmare; I hope none of us ever have to go through this in real life.” “Fun fact,” he adds. If someone watching could be stimulated to be a social worker or get into politics for positive change, then it’s fantastic we did our due diligence and exposed the reality of the situation… while also being dramatic.” During the interview, Cranston also reveals that he was in New Orleans for a couple of weeks before the show, to attend several trials and observe judges on how they handled their courtrooms. The audience then can invest their time, energy and sympathy into rooting for that person to find his way through that maze of difficulty.” Comparisons are inevitable with his most legendary character till date — in a show that rewrote television folklore as we knew it — Breaking Bad ’s Walter White.
