Bryan Cranston Starred In An Amateur Film Because He’s The Coolest

After Hurricane Sandy shut down production of Cold Comes The Night, Bryan Cranston told the movie’s production assistants to each submit a script, and he would star in his favorite one during the downtime. This video is the result of that contest.

When Hurricane Sandy halted production of Cold Comes The Night, which was being filmed in East Durham in Greene County, upstate New York, Breaking Bad star Bryan Cranston did something very cool. He told the film's production assistants to each give him a script, and if he liked their story, he would star in the project. Production assistant Brandon Polanco's script won Cranston's impromptu contest, and just three hours later, filming for Writer's Block began. "Fellow production assistants Chaz Rose & Spenser Granese jumped on board to help co-star and co-produce the film," Polanco said on Vimeo.
