One of his earlier roles was a scene in The X Files, I think he was on screen for 5 minutes tops but I still remember. And everytime I saw him againnI remember he was "the x files guy" until he was indeed Jack Black. Also in The X Files his scene was that he was being killed by Giovanni Ribisi. Very cool to see unknown people go up the ladder
1995
Brian Cranston, Erin Paul, Dean Norris and like half the cast of breaking bad were in xfiles
Brian Cranston was in a lot of stuff. There was a episode of Babylon 5 where he played a ship captain who took one for the team to trick the current enemy.
The episode of x files Drive won him the breaking bad role though. The producers didn’t want Malcolm’s dad, so Vince Gilligan showed them that episode to convince them
They still managed to get a underwear shot or two out of him.
Also, Vince directed some X-Files episodes too. It’s why he casted so many actors that had worked on it.
First time I saw him in something was the 93 classic "airborne". It's about a cali surfer kid that moves to the Midwest. Jack black plays one of the high-school bullies that picks on the new surfer kid. It's a 90s gem
Haven't thought about that movie in a while...
