Crisis Counselor (1982)
'Breaking Bad' star Bryan Cranston's first IMDb credit was definitely ahead of its time in 1982. Just ask the actor himself. In 2016, IMDb caught up with the 'Trumbo' star, who told us about portraying Sam in "Crisis Counselor: Bisexual Marriage" and why it was so much fun to play!
