If Trump were to win the presidential election next week, Cranston said in an interview for _The Bestseller Experiment_ podcast, “I would definitely move. … It’s not real to me that that would happen. I hope to God it won’t.” Cranston has likened Trump to a tragic [Shakespearean](http://time.com/4303852/shakespeare-life-video/) character, but not one he’s sure he could play: “It’s hard for me to imagine trying to justify what this man has said and done,” he said, in remarks reported by [_USA Today_](http://www.usatoday.com/story/life/entertainthis/2016/11/02/bryan-cranston-donald-trump-president-moving/93160930/). “So, I don’t know if it’s actually possible for me to play the character, but it would be a challenge.” No matter the outcome of the election, the [_Breaking Bad_](http://time.com/4529822/bryan-cranston-murder-joke-suspect/) actor predicts it will be a rich source of inspiration for years to come: “There’ll be books written. There’ll be movies made. There will be theatrical productions about Donald Trump because of the anomaly that he presented.” \[[_USA Today_](http://www.usatoday.com/story/life/entertainthis/2016/11/02/bryan-cranston-donald-trump-president-moving/93160930/)\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4555199/bryan-cranston-donald-trump-2016/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4555199/bryan-cranston-donald-trump-2016/"},"headline":"Bryan Cranston Will 'Definitely Move' if Donald Trump Wins","datePublished":"2016-11-02T17:50:54.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-23T01:34:53.486Z","description":"\"It's not real to me that that would happen.
