Bryan Cranston Didn’t Know He Was a Murder Suspect

Bryan Cranston may be best known for playing criminals on screen, but long before Breaking Bad, he was briefly suspected in a real-life murder case. In his early twenties, Cranston and his brother were working at a restaurant in Florida where the chef, Peter Wong, was widely disliked by staff. After frequently joking about harming him, the brothers left on a cross-country motorcycle trip — only for the chef to be murdered shortly after. Detectives learned about the jokes and issued an alert for the Cranston brothers, who unknowingly spent months traveling as wanted suspects. By the time they returned, the real perpetrators had already been caught, clearing Cranston and turning the incident into one of the wildest stories of his life.
