Bryan Cranston has won a SAG AWARD for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a TV Movie or Miniseries for HBO Films' ALL THE WAY, directed by Jay Roach (HBO's "Game Change" and "Recount") and written by Robert Schenkkan. Cranston reprised his Tony Award-winning role as President Lyndon B. Johnson in the film which aired in 2016.

During his acceptance speech, the Breaking Bad star imagined what LBJ would have to say about Donald Trump. "I feel that 36 would put his arm around 45 and earnestly wish him success," said Cranston, quickly adding, "He would also whisper in his ear something he said often as a form of encouragement. And a cautionary tale. 'Just don't piss in the soup that all of us have got to eat.'" Watch the acceptance speech below!

ALL THE WAY is a riveting behind-the-scenes look at President Lyndon B. Johnson's tumultuous first year in office as he takes the oath in the wake of President Kennedy's assassination, navigates the escalation of the Vietnam War and balances opposing interests to launch his landmark civil rights bill and win election to his first full presidential term.

In addition to the Tony Award, Schenkkan's Broadway play ALL THE WAY received Outer Critics Circle, Drama League, Drama Desk, National Theater Critics and Edward M. KENNEDY awards. Cranston's Broadway debut in "All the Way" brought him Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle and Theater World Awards, as well as a Tony. He previously won three consecutive Emmy®Awards, a Golden Globe Award and three SCREEN ACTORS GUILD AWARDS for his portrayal of Walter White on "Breaking Bad"; he also won an Emmy® and a Producers Guild of America Award as a producer on the series. On the big screen, Cranston shared a Screen Actors Guild Award as part of the cast of the Oscar®-winning 2012 film "Argo," and starred in the hit "Godzilla." Last year he received an Oscar nomination for Jay Roach's "Trumbo."
