Bryan Cranston is champing at the bit to play Donald Trump – so much so that the “Breaking Bad” star launched into a wild impression of presumptive GOP presidential nominee Tuesday on NBC’s “Today” show. “He’s huge! He’s this Shakespearean character, this serio-tragic-comedic character”.

BRYAN Cranston’s no stranger to playing real life characters – but there’s one man he’s dying to play.
When asked by the hosts of CNBC’s “Closing Bell” about his biggest money mistake, Cranston said that before getting regular acting work, which would lead to him becoming a household name on “Breaking Bad”, he started a business that “bounced me right into the poor house”. “Who wouldn’t wanna take a bite out of that?”
The 60-year-old actor nailed the Trump impression with accurate hand gestures and spot-on delivery, similar to previous impressions done by Johnny Depp and Meryl Streep. “You are immersed in their genius – Jerry and Larry [David] – and the rest of the cast were brilliant”.
What do U think – would Cranston make a good Trump?!

Bryan’s comments about playing Trump onscreen emerge a month after Meryl Streep mocked the reality TV star-turned-presidential wannabe by dressing up as the 70-year-old to perform a political skit at The 2016 Public Theater Gala at the Delacorte Theater in NY. He also appeared as a congressman on TV’s “Capital News”.
