IMDB for all "Isn't <actor> only brilliant, where else can I see <actor> needs.

Apart from guest-starring in a few Seinfeld eps and being in Saving Private Ryan I can't remember Bryan Cranston from anything else on the list above. He's perfectly suited to the role of Hal though & well worth his two Emmy nominations for the part.

Yea, he was deadly on Bronx Bunny!

Personally I think he's brilliant in it. Particularily in the current series as they're focusing on him alot more!! Yay!

Yeah he's by far the best on that show(Malcolm In The Middle) as far as I'm concerned. Very funny actor. The acceptance on the british comedy awards was class.

really? tell me more.....

didnt watch seinfeld so i cant recall the appearences.

as for them focusing on him more, i think were seing what i would call a 'simpsonism' where a series begins by focusing on a young (male) character but soon realises that the father (or adult male) has much more potential and so begins to focus less on the young child and more on the father.... remember when bart was the centre of the simpsons... the radical child....? his cowabungas were quickly replaced by the genius that is homer.

Also he was in an episode of the X Files I saw a while ago, he had this thing in his head which was causing him more and more pain until his head exploded at the end. Or something to that extent.

Nope. Supposedly next year. Everything else seems to be in the process of being released (Frasier and Cheers recently) so it's certainly just a matter of time. There's the odd update/rumour on the Sein Wars forum. Have to rely on the better quality questionable downloads until then.

Sein expected to be released in Dec 2004 working on exta features, CYE (Curb Your Enthusiasm) being released Jan 13th and Season 4 begins tomorrow in The States, looks brill.

Tim Whatley was a great character.
