How Bryan Cranston Became a Badass

Bryan Cranston's Hollywood career goes back further than you know. For twenty years, he was a reliable character actor used for small roles in a variety of TV shows and movies. Yeah, he was "that guy" that people sometimes recognize but don't know the actor's name. Cranston's generic good looks got him picked for guest spots, but it wasn't until the year 2000 that he landed a regular role on the sitcom Malcolm in the Middle, and even then he wasn't the star. However, he made the role his own and became a favorite of the show's fans. Malcolm in the Middle lasted seven seasons, and cemented Cranston as a talented comedic actor.

Then in 2008, we were all shocked that this sitcom dad was suddenly the star of Breaking Bad, playing a methamphetamine manufacturer who evolved into a drug kingpin. Cranston pulled this off perfectly, and proved he's not just a character actor or a comedic actor, he is an actor.

I'm with capt. oblivious. But this is a novel way to map penguin distribution.

Abusive comment hidden. (Show it anyway.)

Given the state of satellite imaging these days, isn't *everything* visible from space? Given that I can see my dad in his garden on Google Maps (true), it's not much of a surprise that a square kilometre of guano-stained ice is visible with Landsat 7!
