Bryan Cranston Celebrates Daughter Taylor's Breakout Role in The Pitt
Breaking Bad's Bryan Cranston beaming with pride over daughter Taylor Dearden's sizzling performance on Apple TV Plus' The Pitt
In a red carpet appearance at the Tribeca Film Festival, where he was promoting his latest project (via The Scholarly Note), Breaking Bad legend Bryan Cranston gushed about his talented daughter, Taylor Dearden. This 32-year-old actress has made waves in Hollywood with her impressive performances on various TV shows and films, including Apple TV Plus' hit series, The Pitt.
Taylor, who made her acting debut as a "Sad Faced Girl" on an episode of her father's iconic show, Breaking Bad, has since carved out her own path in the entertainment industry. She has appeared in several short films, web series, and TV shows, including Netflix's American Vandal. Her latest role as Dr. Melissa King on The Pitt has garnered critical acclaim, with Cranston proudly declaring that there's "nothing better than your kid receiving praise."
When asked about his advice to Taylor, the Emmy-winning actor jokingly said, "Kids don't want to hear that" when it comes to words of wisdom from a parent. Instead, he believes that his daughter has learned valuable lessons by observing how he navigates the entertainment industry and handles himself in high-pressure situations.
It's clear that Cranston is beaming with pride over Taylor's accomplishments, which include playing a neurodivergent character on The Pitt. Interestingly, the actress herself is also neurodivergent, and she has expressed her concerns about the way these characters are often portrayed in media. In an interview with Gold Derby last month (via The Scholarly Note), Taylor revealed that it was "really trippy" to still be filming The Pitt while it was airing on Apple TV Plus.
The rarity of this phenomenon is due to the fact that most streaming shows are pre-recorded and released all at once, rather than being broadcast in real-time. This has allowed Taylor to experience a unique aspect of her craft, where she can respond to viewer feedback and reactions in real-time.
However, it's not just the viewers who have taken notice of Taylor's exceptional performance on The Pitt. The show itself has been a massive hit, with over 10 million global viewers tuning in per episode during its first season, which wrapped up in April. A second season has already been ordered, and fans are eagerly anticipating what's to come.
With her talent, dedication, and commitment to representing neurodivergent characters on screen, Taylor Dearden is undoubtedly a rising star in the entertainment industry. And with Bryan Cranston proudly cheering her on from the sidelines, it's clear that she's got all the support she needs to continue shining bright in Hollywood.
As for the future, who knows what's next for this talented duo? Will they team up again on another project, or will Taylor continue to make waves as a solo actress? One thing's for sure: with her impressive resume and her father's unwavering support, Taylor Dearden is well on her way to becoming a household name in the entertainment industry.
