‘Better Call Saul’ season 3: Bryan Cranston still game for appearance

Ultimately, we don’t think anything has changed when it comes to Bryan Cranston potentially appearing on “Better Call Saul” someday. After all, he’s always expressed a willingness to do the show, even though we know that he probably does have a million or so different things on his plate.

For his latest comments about a potential return to Rich Eisen on his show, Cranston laid out some more circumstances in which he would appear; also, he explained (per Entertainment Weekly, who introduced us to the video) that he has so much trust in “Breaking Bad” creator Vince Gilligan that he would not be concerned that he’d be put in a position where he would have to do something that was a ratings stunt or completely out of touch with the original series:

“I owe Vince Gilligan so much. He was my champion to get this role … If they were to call me and say, ‘We have this idea, we’d like…’ I would say, ‘Yes, you don’t have to finish the pitch. I’m there, what do you want me to do?’ I’ll do whatever they want because I know how careful they are and proprietary they are with those characters and storylines and it wouldn’t be something, ‘Oh, isn’t that kind of a stunt casting kind of thing.’ It would be something kind of unique and obscure and creative, and I’m all in.”

The second season of “Better Call Saul” premiered earlier this year, and we still have no idea precisely how Walter White would be implemented. It would have to be something very specific, given where Saul and Walt end up when Bob Odenkirk’s character is first introduced on the original show.
