Bryan Cranston will be in the final season of two of America's most beloved shows this year. It's up to you to decide which one you're most excited about. It was announced on Wednesday that Cranston will be reprising his role as Hammond Druthers in the final season of How I Met Your Mother.
Obviously Cranston's biggest finale will be on Sept. 29 when the final episode of the hugely popular, and successful, drama series from AMC, "Breaking Bad" airs its final climactic episode.
However, before he was everyone's favorite meth cooking anti-hero, he was already a famous funnyman for his role as Hal on Malcolm in the Middle. It was these skills that CBS leaned on in 2006 when he was cast to play Ted Mosby's abusive boss in the show's second season. Later on in the show, a series of circumstances led to Ted becoming Druthers' superior. He wanted to fire him but learned one comically tragic reason to not fire him after another. For example, his first attempt is foiled by it being Druthers' birthday. After that his wife left him and kicked him out of the house. By the end of the episode, Ted finally pulls the trigger and that's the last we see of Cranston's character.
Season 9 of How I Met Your Mother will take place over the course of Barney and Robin's wedding weekend. So this begs the question, in what way will Druthers return to the gang's lives? Will he be back on top or down an out still?
How I Met Your Mother will be one of Cranston's first post-Breaking Bad roles. In the six years since his original appearance on the show, he has received nonstop accolades and awards for his work as Walter White on the show, which took home an Emmy for Best Drama at the 2013 awards.
