Bryan Cranston just made a HUUUUUGE case for playing Donald Trump in the former’s next project.
The actor appeared on “Today” Monday morning to promote his new film, “The Infiltrator,” and ended up showcasing his spot-on impression of The Donald.
“I’d like to play Donald Trump at some point,” Cranston said. “He’s this Shakespearean character, this serio-tragic-comedic character. Who wouldn’t want to take a bite out of that?”
Prompted by host Carson Daly, Cranston launched into his Donald take ― tiny hands, pursed lips and all:
His Seinfeld impression isn’t bad either.
The actor also recently gave The Huffington Post a little insight into his next role ― playing Zordon in the upcoming “Power Rangers” reboot.
“At first I was, to be honest with you, I was reticent to looking at the role because I remember the television series was kind of farcical and silly and ‘pow’ and ‘zow’ — weird movements and things like that,” Cranston said. “I was like, ‘Oh, OK.’”
The actor added, “I wasn’t really high on it until I talked to the producer and read the script and talked to the director. After that I went, ‘This is different. This is as different a reimagining as the ‘Batman’ television series as it became the ‘Batman’ movie series.”
We’ll have to wait until March 2017 to see.
Editor’s note: Donald Trump regularly incites political violence and is a serial liar, rampant xenophobe, racist, misogynist and birther who has repeatedly pledged to ban all Muslims — 1.6 billion members of an entire religion — from entering the U.S.
