- "Breaking Bad" star Bryan Cranston shared a video of his transformation into drug kingpin Walter White on Twitter Monday.
- Cranston, who had a brief cameo in "El Camino," the "Breaking Bad" spin-off film that premiered on Netflix this month, had to wear a bald cap and special makeup for the scene.
- The time-lapse video shows the actor getting fitted with the bald cap as well as a fake moustache.
- Cranston had a full head of hair at the time due to his role as anchorman Howard Beale in the Broadway adaptation of "Network," and only had 36 hours to film the cameo.
- The actor wore a bald cap to resemble Walter White again, but his head shape had to be altered in post-production.
- "We also had to get a little digital (effects) help to shrink Bryan's head so it didn't look bulbous with the bald cap on," writer-director Vince Gilligan told USA Today.
