Actor Bryan Cranston does drama, comedy and action...plus he can play baseball all by himself.
In a spoof for the Major League Baseball (MLB) Postseason show, Cranston stars in his own one-man baseball show inspired by no other than Warner Bros icon, Bugs Bunny.
With a scoring to enhance the drama of the 6-minute video, the "Breaking Bad" actor goes on to talk about his passion aside from acting. "I felt it was just time for me to get back to the basics by diving right into my great passion: baseball," he shares.

Cranston then talks about funding his own one-man show which dramatizes the whole MLB season. He then admits in a humorous behind-the-scenes mockumentary interview that the show would be his greatest acting challenge yet.
He says that he encountered a lot of difficulties along the way, especially since he "sunk a lot of money" into the project. But despite the challenges, he shares that inspiration comes when you least expect it, as he walks by a theater ticket booth and sees Bugs Bunny on a small screen playing a baseball game by himself.
"The Bugster. Mr. B," Cranston shares, "Any actor who tells you that he is not inspired by Bugs Bunny is a liar, frankly. Or just a hack."
Snippets of Cranston playing baseball by himself on a theatrical stage are shown. An audience watches and reacts to his play, with one highlight being Cranston hitting an audience member with the ball.
As he shares that the project is a collaboration with other artists, he dances to a musician playing Wiz Khalifa's "Young, Wild & Free"and gets dancing lessons from Misty Copeland of the American Ballet Theatre.
Teary-eyed, he ends his feature by turning "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" into a dramatic soliloquy.
