Bryan Cranston Made The Baywatch Team Miserable As An Antagonistic Party Boat Captain

Nearly two decades before he slung meth as Walter White, Baywatch saw Bryan Cranston get up to a very different - and nautical - kind of mischief.

Bryan Cranston Made The Baywatch Team Miserable As An Antagonistic Party Boat Captain

In 1989, before achieving fame as Walter White in "Breaking Bad," Bryan Cranston appeared on the iconic TV show "Baywatch." In the episode titled "Cruise Ship," Cranston played Tom Logan, a reckless and antagonistic party boat captain. Logan disregarded ocean safety rules, allowing his passengers to engage in excessive drinking and rowdy behavior, which included tossing a bride overboard during a wedding.

This behavior irked the Baywatch crew, particularly when Logan's boat chased the Santa Monica Pier. Despite this brief but memorable appearance, Cranston has since looked back on his time on "Baywatch" with fondness, praising David Hasselhoff and even joking about his portrayal of a seasick party boat captain.
