DESCRIPTION

Bryan Cranston stars as assistant deputy director of the CIA, Jack O’Donnell, in “Argo.” He’s the boss of Ben Affleck’s character, Tony Mendez. It’s always a pleasure to talk to the fantastic Mr. Cranston, as he is from my neck of the woods, the Coachella Valley. Plus, he’s just plain brilliant and down-to-earth even after getting his career-defining gig in “Breaking Bad.”

In this interview, we talked about:

*** “Argo’s” levity – for a political drama it’s funny
*** What got him interested in making “Argo”
*** Working with Affleck both as an actor and director
*** How did Affleck inspire him
*** How did he find the likeability aspect of his character?
*** Of course, our favorite topic, Palm Desert

Have fun!
