It's not common for an actor to have two iconic television roles in both comedy and drama, but Bryan Cranston has done it with his roles in 'Malcolm in the Middle' and 'Breaking Bad' respectively. The man has so much range they should call him Statistics, but he had to put in his work before he could get those big roles. Because of that, he has plenty of small roles that might surprise you, like the time he played an astronaut in 'That Thing You Do.'
'That Thing You Do' has such a memorable soundtrack thanks to the eponymous song, "That Thing You Do," so it's also filled with plenty of musical performances. In one particular performance, the host of a show is interviewing an astronaut (Cranston) right before the Oneders come onstage to perform. It's a small moment, but worth it to check out his high-and-tight haircut.
