Timeline

1956

Bryan Lee Cranston (born March 7, 1956) is an American actor and filmmaker.

Bryan Lee Cranston was born in Hollywood, Los Angeles, on March 7, 1956, the second of three children born to Annalisa "Peggy" (née Sell), a radio actress, and Joseph Cranston, an actor and former amateur boxer.

His father was of half Irish, quarter Austrian Ashkenazi Jewish, and quarter German descent, while his mother was the daughter of German immigrants.

He has an older brother, Kyle, and a younger sister, Amy.

Cranston was raised in Canoga Park, Los Angeles.

His father held many jobs before deciding to become an actor, but did not secure enough roles to provide for his family.

He eventually walked out on the family when Cranston was 11 years old, and they did not see each other again until a 22-year-old Cranston and his brother Kyle decided to track him down.

1968

In 1968, when he was 12 years old, he encountered Charles Manson while riding horses with his cousin at the Spahn Ranch.

This happened about a year before Manson ordered the Tate-LaBianca murders.

1976

Cranston graduated from Canoga Park High School, where he was a member of the school's chemistry club, and earned an associate degree in police science from Los Angeles Valley College in 1976.

While at Los Angeles Valley College he took an acting class for an elective, which inspired him to pursue a career in acting, saying "And at 19 years old, all of a sudden, my life changed."

After college, Cranston began his acting career in local and regional theaters, getting his start at the Granada Theater in the San Fernando Valley.

He had performed as a youth, but his show-business parents had mixed feelings about their son being involved in the profession, so he did not act until years later.

Cranston was ordained as a minister when he was 19 by the Universal Life Church, and performed weddings for $150 a service to help with his income on Catalina Island, where he spent his summers working.

He also worked as a waiter, night-shift security guard at the gates of a private LA community, truck loader, camera operator for a video dating service, and a CCTV security guard at a supermarket.

1980

Cranston started working regularly in the late 1980s, mostly doing minor roles and advertisements.

1983

He was an original cast member of the ABC soap opera Loving, where he played Douglas Donovan from 1983 to 1985.

Cranston starred in the short-lived series Raising Miranda in 1988.

1989

Cranston played Tom Logan in an episode of the first season of the TV series Baywatch in 1989.

Cranston's voice acting includes English dubbing of Japanese anime (for which he primarily used the non-union pseudonym Lee Stone), including Macross Plus and Armitage III: Poly-Matrix, and most notably, Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie as Fei-Long, and the children's series Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.

1993

Cranston did voice work for the 1993–94 first season of that series, playing characters such as Twin Man and Snizzard, for which he was paid about $50 an hour for two or three hours of daily work.

The Blue Power Ranger, Billy Cranston, was thought to be named for him but this has since proven false.

2014

On stage, he earned a Tony Award for Best Actor in a Play for his portrayal of President Lyndon B. Johnson in the Broadway play All the Way (2014), a role he reprised in the 2016 HBO film of the same name.

He received the Laurence Olivier Award for Best Actor and his second Tony Award for portraying Howard Beale in the play Network on the West End and Broadway, respectively.

He then maintained a relationship with his father until the latter's death in 2014.

Cranston has claimed that he based his portrayal of Walter White on his own father, who had a slumped posture "like the weight of the world was on his shoulders".

After his father left, he was raised partly by his maternal grandparents and lived on their poultry farm in Yucaipa, California.

He has called his parents "broken people" who were "incapacitated as far as parenting" and caused the family to lose their house in a foreclosure.
