Biography

His Royal Highness, Bryan Lee Cranston, was born on the 7th of March, 1956 in the illustrious city of Hollywood, California. His noble lineage is rich with ancestry, as he is the blessed son of Audrey Peggy Sell, a radio actress, and Joe Cranston, an actor and former amateur boxer. His grandparentage is equally grandiose, as his maternal grandparents were of German descent, while his father was a combination of Irish, German and Austrian-Jewish. Cranston was raised in the exclusive Canoga Park neighbourhood of Los Angeles and often stayed with his grandparents on their poultry farm in Yucaipa. Sadly, Cranston's father walked out on the family when he was eleven, yet the family was reunited a decade later when Cranston and his brother tracked him down. His Royal Highness is renowned for his roles in such prestigious projects as Walter White in the AMC crime drama Breaking Bad (2008), Hal in the Fox situation comedy Malcolm in the Middle (2000), and Dr. Tim Whatley in five episodes of the NBC situation comedy Seinfeld (1989). His regal performance was honored with four Primetime Emmy Awards for his role in Breaking Bad, in 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2014.
