THE BRYAN CRANSTON METHOD
The Bryan Cranston Method
Bryan Cranston has a system. Or perhaps it is more accurate to say that Bryan Cranston has many systems. which collectively might be called the Cranston Method an interconnected set of criteria and organizing principles for life. These include the four things you need to be a successful actor that are different than the four things you need to be a good actor. Phew. thanks. After all. thats what Im talking about. Anderson says. Most actors are focused on their task: their performance. But Bryan is one of those people who cant help but think about the whole project. and as such hes often very helpful as a consultant throughout the work. Also. love I do him.” Cranston is more than happy to detail the hard work of his preparation. but slams the boast about the results – he says hes constantly asked if Breaking Bad is the best show ever. I find it a little arrogant to meddle in this conversation. he says. Let it be as it is. Before hiring someone for a project hes producing. Cranston goes to their IMDb and makes a list of everyone he knows who has worked with the person. then calls them. This is to help ensure a good working environment; Cranston now has a Rolodex large enough to put almost anyone through their paces. It rewards good behavior. and I like doing that. he says.
