I LIVE IN A CARDBOARD BOX!
Yeah, every time I see Bryan Cranston and lately Giancarlo Esposito I say to myself, "dis gon be good"

I remember popping in Batman: Year One and when Commissioner Gordon began his narration the first thing that hit me was "It's Bryan motherfukking Cranston! :myman: " That's how recognizable he is. Can't wait to see him in Godzilla.

Is he Tony Soprano for life? Yes, that was an Iconic Character for Television. So he will forever be loved for that role. But let's not act like he's not a good actor. I've been on James long before he took that drive through the Lincoln Tunnel. He got his start in movies 1st but never really broke through as a star. Just a strong supporting character. He's still plays supporting roles since "Sopranos" left the air. Look at his catalog:

So he's put in work on the Big Screen. But when your an Iconic Character like Tony. It's hard to shake that. Sure it's a gift and curse. But Tony is so Legendary that he will always have that. It was like Harrison Ford. Han Solo was Legendary but he was able to have Indiana Jones after that. "Blade Runner" got cult status. James needs to just have a strong movie that he's the Lead in and that can help him get out of Tony's shadow slightly but he's forever Tony. And Sorpanos aged like fine wine, one of the greatest shows of all time. It felt like you were watching an 50 minute movie every week.

It's been 6 Years since The Sopranos Finale. They can still have a movie if they start working on it and it can be out in the next 2-3 years.

For some odd reason if you become a household staple you have to do it twice to even continue a career or you become insta :flabbynsick:

While you can do shytty after shytty movie and still get work

The reason is because once you're a household staple people only ever want to see you as whatever role made you that. You can be in 5 billion shytty movies and nobody ever really thinks about it.

Aaron Paul (Jesse from "Breaking Bad") has said people approach him with roles that are variations of Jesse. The problem is, if he took those parts, they're just a weaker version of what people already know him for. So that's the shyt that kills your career. The best option is to do some off the wall shyt totally different than what you were.

Another factor is time. John Goodman has never had another role as iconic as Dan Conner but he's been around so long half the people that seen "Argo" probably aren't even old enough to remember "Roseanne".

I guess you're really trying to go over the top with it. :lolbron: Typical internet coward.

Hes good, but im sure this will be another holiday season where your fam wonders where they went wrong with you. Probably had something to do with letting your Uncle babysit.

I think Bryan Cranston will be safe from that. People thought he wouldn't break out the role of Hal the outrageous dad from Malcolm In The Middle. He flipped that shyt when he became Walter White and when I see him in recent movies I don't think "it's Walter White! :gladbron:" but rather "Or shyt! Bryan Cranston! :krs:"
:ohhh:
I had no idea that was the same person
