Kevin Winter—Getty Images by [Sarah Begley](https://time.com/author/sarah-begley/) ## Sarah Begley Aug 14, 2015 11:47 AM UTC Bryan Cranston may not actually be a Donald Trump supporter, but he does find the 2016 Republican frontrunner to be “refreshing.” The _Breaking Bad_ actor shared his thoughts about the presidential candidate on the Nerdist podcast this week, explaining, “There’s something so refreshing about shaking up that world that is all about being handled, and here comes this loose cannon who has terrible ideas and would be a horrible president, but there’s something great about his ‘I-don’t-give-a-sh-t’ attitude that really kind of keeps others honest.” Trump’s often provocative statements have indeed forced his fellow candidates to clarify their positions on controversial issues, from immigration to the treatment of women. “I think it’s a surprise benefit to the country, actually,” Cranston said. “I hope he stays in for a long, long time. And just collapses that whole tent of his.” Listen to the full conversation above. _Read next:_ [_What We’ve Learned Since the Republican Debates_](http://time.com/3997640/republican-debate-aftermath/?iid=time%5Freadnext) [_Listen to the most important stories of the day_](http://time.com/newsletter/the-brief/autoplay/?xid=spl-fullbrief-article) ## Transcript [00:00] Rosie O'Donnell's disgusting, I mean both inside and out.
