Bryan Cranston is best known for his television roles on “Malcolm in the Middle” and “Breaking Bad,” but his movie career does include one of the more beloved indies of the last decade: Nicolas Winding Refn’s “Drive.” During Cranston’s appearance at the Tribeca TV Festival, the actor spoke about his love of collaborating with directors and used “Drive” as an example of one time his voice was heard and changed the script.
“In the original script, my character and Albert Brooks’ character actually liked each other. They were fond of each other and I thought that was a great problem to have,” Cranston said. “What if your task is you have to kill someone that you really like — that’s odd. And in the script, it had him come up behind me with a garroting wire and he chokes and cuts me to death. I thought, there’s something wrong with this.
