Bryan Cranston killed many people as Walter White on “Breaking Bad.” But there was a time in real life that he was pursued by police investigating a murder, the actor says.

On “The Tonight Show” Wednesday to promote his autobiography A Life In Parts, Cranston told host Jimmy Fallon that the trouble began when he and his brother took temp jobs as waiters in the mid-’70s at a restaurant in Daytona Beach, Florida. During a meeting, they and other wait staff joked about how they would kill the much-hated head chef if they had the chance.

Turns out, the chef was eventually murdered.

We’ll let Cranston tell the story above.

The actor wrote in his memoir that he and his brother were exonerated after a few days. Police determined that a prostitute led the chef to a house where someone else killed him.
