‘Breaking Bad’ Star Bryan Cranston Wants to Play Donald Trump

As if he needed to prove himself, Cranston then launched into an impromptu impression of Trump (beginning at the:45 mark)-showing that he has a mastery of the character’s facial tics, gestures, and delivery, on par with Meryl Streep and Johnny Depp’s impressions before his.

Florida is a special place for Emmy- and Tony-winner Bryan Cranston, not only because his new movie “The Infiltrator” was largely filmed in Tampa Bay. He relishes the work, probably because it took him a decade or two, pre-“Breaking Bad”, to snag the roles he deserved. When Mazur’s taken to a nondescript hut to be judged for his truthfulness by a voodoo priest and another man who’s deemed to be lying about his identity is shot right next to him, Cranston channels the determined fear of a horror-movie Final Girl.

Cast: Bryan Cranston, John Leguizamo, Diane Kruger.

Carsten Hayes as Rudy Ambrecht and Bryan Cranston as undercover U.S. Customs agent Robert Mazur.

Mazur is an executive producer of the $46.5 million production, and its technical advisor, which mainly consisted of grooming Cranston in the art of undercover deception.

At home, Bob’s a solid family man with a lovely and devoted wife (Juliet Aubrey), and two great kids (Lara Decaro and Niall Hayes). Most crucially, there is Kathy Ertz (Diane Kruger), a rookie undercover agent who is tasked with playing Musella’s fiancée. And things only get more unsafe from there, as Mazur gains the confidence of drug-trade players ranging from bonkers (lecherous Yul Vazquez) to charismatically lethal (Benjamin Bratt, whose “Law & Order” days sure are a distant memory). And there are moments when the intricacies of the money laundering process verge on the tedious.

“You’ve got it down already”, Daly said. Amy Ryan dons her patented no-nonsense persona as Bob’s supervisor.

Cranston in particular is fantastic as someone just on the side of losing his cool. No, theaters didn’t raise current admission prices to see The Infiltrator; the movie is merely and considerably better than most films of the drug running genre. It’s so fleet in its first act that you’d be forgiven for missing which agency Mazur even worked for, let alone its role in the drug war.
