TORONTO – With the 2014 MLB regular season coming to a close, Breaking Bad star Bryan Cranston is getting fans ready for the postseason.
In an almost six-minute long promo video, Cranston hams it up as he talks about a ridiculous one-man show he produced where he plays out the MLB postseason alone on stage.
At one point in the ad the Emmy-winner says there were a lot of problems with the show and that he “sunk a lot of money” into it.
He then claims that he was inspired to continue with it after catching the old Bugs Bunny film Baseball Bugs on a TV in the window of a store.
“Any actor who tells you he is not inspired by Bugs Bunny is a liar,” he says.
In August, Cranston appeared in a comedic promo for the Emmys along with his Breaking Bad co-star Aaron Paul and Veep actress Julia Louis-Dreyfus.
A spoof of reality shows Pawn Stars and Hardcore Pawn, the spot had Cranston and Paul playing creepy pawn shop owners as Louis-Dreyfus tried to unload the Emmy she won for Seinfeld.

The ad garnered almost as much buzz as the Emmys themselves and went viral. As of this writing it has just under 8 million views on the official YouTube account of the Television Academy (the group behind the Emmys).
Even though Cranston’s MLB ad is just starting to make the rounds, it has already been embraced by fans and is quickly climbing the YouTube charts.
