Bryan Cranston on doing a Broadway musical!

James Corden connected with Bryan Cranston as part of a recent episode of The Late Late Show. Cranston was asked if he would ever do a musical on Broadway, rather than a play, which he expressed interest in.

"I have a secret desire to do a musical," he said. "But I don't consider myself a singer. I'm an actor that can hold a tune but I really have to work at it."

He went on to say, "At some point, yes. I do want to do a musical. But I need to go get confidence first."
