Better Call Saul: 'Breaking Bad' Star Bryan Cranston Willing to Appear in AMC sequel

Breaking Bad fans might once again get a glimpse of Walter White in the small screens.

Bryan Cranston, who starred on the hit AMC smash, said on Tuesday's episode of The Rich Eisen Show that he is willing to make a guest appearance on the sequel of the show, Better Call Saul.

"I owe Vince Gilligan so much. He was my champion to get this role," Cranston told Eisen. "If they were to call me and say, 'We have this idea, we'd like...' I would say, 'Yes, you don't have to finish the pitch. I'm there, what do you want me to do?'"

Cranston, 60, believes that creator Vince Gilligan and the entire team of Better Call Saul will not have him reprise his role if the storyline does not call for it.    

"I'll do whatever they want because I know how careful they are, and proprietary they are with those characters and storylines, and it wouldn't be something, 'Oh, isn't that kind of a stunt casting kind of thing,'" Cranston explained.  

Rest assured, should Gilligan call Cranston back for a flashback sequence between Walter White and Saul Goodman, it will be a significant scene for the story.

"It would be something kind of unique and obscure and creative, and I'm all in," he said.

While Cranston has not been contacted to make an appearance yet, he said that they had offered him the chance to direct an episode instead. However, the actor has some reservations about it.

"I have an opportunity to direct an episode of Saul, and I'm debating whether I want to or not because I'm a fan of the show, and in order to direct I need to know what no fan knows," he said. "I need to go back, and they'll tell me what's going to happen leading up to the episode, and there's a part of me that says, 'That would kind of kill it for me as a fan to peak behind the curtain.' So, I don't know if I am or not."

Cranston won four Emmy awards and a Golden Globe for portraying Walter White/Heisenberg in Breaking Bad. He will be next seen as a drug money launderer on the upcoming film, The Infiltrator, which is set hit theaters on July 13.
