Bryan Cranston

2003 Emmy Nominated: Supporting Actor, Malcolm in the Middle

A familiar face to a nation of television viewers thanks to his role on the popular FOX sitcom Malcolm in the Middle, longtime stage and screen actor Bryan Cranston has had a rich and varied career.

Though the San Fernando Valley native made his television debut as a commercial actor at the age of eight, it wasn't until college that Cranston truly realized his calling as an actor. Following graduation, Cranston's passion eventually drew him to Daytona Beach, FL, where the burgeoning actor appeared in theater productions such as Barefoot in the Park and Death of a Salesman. In 1982, he joined the cast of the then-new soap opera Loving. Following a series of supporting feature performances, Cranston moved back to the small screen with a regular role in the 1988 sitcom Raising Miranda.

Supporting performances in such high-profile features as That Thing You Do! and Saving Private Ryan helped to increase the busy actor's recognition factor, and in 1999, Cranston wrote, produced, directed, and starred in his first feature film, a low-key drama entitled Last Chance. Though the film failed to gain much attention, Cranston was soon receiving numerous positive notices for his Emmy-nominated role as the hapless father in the breakout television hit Malcolm in the Middle. Cranston was then spotted opposite screen legend Kirk Douglas in the 2004 drama The Illusion.

Bryan Cranston is nominated for 2003's Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series for his work on the show "Malcolm in the Middle".
