“You know what I mean?” Muniz continued before noting, “Like he's done incredible films, incredible shows, won tons of awards. Like he's literally It."

However, he shred that Cranston, who went on to become a ‘Hollywood god’ continued to check on him even though their show went off air almost two decades ago. 

He shared, "He still reaches out to me every couple of weeks, check in on me.”

"He really cares about what I'm doing, comes to the races, if my band was playing, came to shows. I mean, he's such an inspiration, and like I said, that's what I strive to be that for someone else in the future,” concluded the star.
