Speaking about the new season with theNew York Post, Cranston spoke about why he decided to come back for another season, even though the plan was for just one season of the show. He also shared that season 2 includes a key role for an unnamed actor from theBreaking Baduniverse, and while he isn’t saying just yet who that is, he described this person as one of the “best actors” they could find. From the interview:
“As a nice little Easter Egg, there’s a very important role of an actor who comes on and is part of the Breaking Bad universe. So it was fun to see that person, and I won’t say who it is, but that person comes on and we have a really cool interaction. We just pulled in the best actors we could find and let them do their thing, and it made for an alchemy that really has an explosive finish.”
Breaking Badaired for five seasons from 2008 to 2013. Along with Cranston in the lead, the series also memorably starred Aaron Paul, Anna Gunn, RJ Mitte, Dean Norris, Betsy Brandt, Jonathan Banks, Giancarlo Esposito, and Bob Odenkirk, among others.
