Bryan Cranston, the Emmy-winning actor best known for his iconic role in 'Breaking Bad', says the hit series wouldn't exist without 'The Sopranos', as it allowed characters like Walter White to take centre stage.

In multiple interviews recently, Cranston suggested that while he believes he has already said goodbye to Walter White, the door is not entirely closed, indicating that he's open to stepping back into the character's world but only under very specific circumstances.

"I think what ... David Chase was able to do, in creating a character like Tony Soprano was certainly paving the way to allow the space for someone like Walter White to exist. It was groundbreaking," Cranston told The Dan Patrick Show.

In an earlier interview, Cranston suggested he was open to reprise Water White. "I don't know if we're done," Cranston said, explaining that neither he nor series creator Gilligan is motivated by money. Instead, he added a return would require something powerful enough to justify reopening such a beloved and completed story.
