This Sunday will see the end of a television era, as Breaking Bad airs its final episode. Bryan Cranston has given a legendary performance on the series, rightfully earning numerous awards in the process. Of course, Cranston wasn't always known for such dramatic, chilling work... And no, I'm not talking about Cranston's wonderful, comic performance on Malcolm in the Middle. I'm referring to his past on Mighty Morphin Power Rangers!

Cranston's Power Rangers past was brought up in recent months during interviews with folks like Jay Leno and Stephen Colbert. But back in 2009, while interviewing Cranston and Vince Gilligan for Breaking Bad's second season , I asked Cranston about Power Rangers, after I saw the credit on IMDB.Cranston explained, "One of my jobs as a young actor starting out was voiceover. I also did dubbing. A lot of dubbing and a lot of voiceover. So foreign films would come in and I'd go in. One of the places that did a lot of that was Saban Entertainment. And they would take movies and then cartoons from all over the world and we'd go and do the English dub. And the Power Rangers came in and I did some voices for that. I had already been there for a number of years, just as a freelance guy coming in and coming out. And it paid like $50.00 an hour, which was fantastic. And you'd work two, three hours at least a day. So I had been there for awhile already and then the Power Rangers came in."

Power Rangers: Seasons 1-7 DVD Review

The good folks at Shout! Factory, who have already released an impressive set of the first seven seasons of Power Rangers and have another collection coming later this year with every episode ever , have actually put two clips of Cranston's work online.Check out Cranston as "Twin Man":And here he is as "Snizzard":When I spoke to Cranston about Power Rangers, he also told me an especially amusing piece of trivia, explaining, "They actually named one of the Power Rangers after me. The Blue Power Ranger's last name is Cranston."Yes, that's right, the reason the original Blue Ranger is named Billy Cranston is because of the man we'd come to know as Walter White and Heisenberg.Breaking Bad has given Bryan Cranston so many amazing scenes and memorable lines, such as "You're goddamn right!" and "I am the one who knocks." But still, there's something to be said for "Goodbye, Power Rangers!" and "Putties, attack!" as well, isn't there?
