Bryan Cranston Reveals He Was Once Wanted for Murder

If you are a fan of “Breaking Bad,” you may be surprised to find out that one of the stars of the show was art imitating real life… sort of.

During a recent interview, Bryan Cranston revealed that he was once wanted for murder.

According to Cranston, the incident dates back to the 1970s, also involving his brother.

Real-Life Drama

According to Cranston, he and his brother were traveling across the country on their motorcycles when they took a stop in Daytona Beach, FL, to secure some work.

They both were hired as waiters at the Hawaiian Inn, which was run by a chef named Peter Wong.

Cranston stated, “There was this cantankerous chef named Peter Wong, who just hated everyone.

“There was just no way on earth you were ever going to get on his good side. But he liked the ladies. And so, all the men knew … if we had any problem in the kitchen, we had to send [the ladies] in … He was awful.”

Wong vanished right around the same time the Cranston brothers decided to get back on their bikes and leave town.

He continued, “So they’re taking out all this information … Little did we know they put out an APB on us and to find us. We were somewhere in the Carolinas, I think, at that point.

“And we didn’t know any of this. So we’re just tooling along. I can just imagine if someone really pulled us over and down on the ground with the guns [inaudible].

“And then before that came to happen, they put the pieces together and realized … They’ve had some witnesses and some cameras at the dog track. And they saw what was going on and made an arrest. And so we were this close.”

Cranston has been acting since 1980, but he is most well-known for playing Hal Wilkerson in “Malcolm in the Middle” and, of course, Walter White in “Breaking Bad.”

More recently, he starred in what was a surprisingly good show called “Your Honor,” playing Michael Desiato.
