Bryan Cranston in That Thing You Do

Bryan Cranston in That Thing You Do

It's not common for an actor to have two iconic television roles in both comedy and drama, but Bryan Cranston has done it with his roles in 'Malcolm in the Middle' and 'Breaking Bad' respectively. The man has so much range they should call him Statistics, but he had to put in his work before he could get those big roles. Because of that, he has plenty of small roles that might surprise you, like the time he played an astronaut in 'That Thing You Do.'

'That Thing You Do' has such a memorable soundtrack thanks to the eponymous song, "That Thing You Do," so it's also filled with plenty of musical performances. In one particular performance, the host of a show is interviewing an astronaut (Cranston) right before the Oneders come onstage to perform. It's a small moment, but worth it to check out his high-and-tight haircut.

Did You Know...

Chefs made their way into celebrity land a while ago. But how many celebrities that weren’t trained as professional cooks are actually whizzes in the kitchen? Here are several that come to mind.

Actress Julia Roberts is confident about her cooking skills. “I’m quite a good cook,” she told E! News. “I’m like a closet home ec teacher…I can really cook anything.” Roberts has said she often cooks fish for herself and her kids. And speaking of her three children, “They think that I’m a good cook,” Roberts told People. “They actually told me that I should open a restaurant.” She also relishes cooking for the holidays, particularly shredded Brussel sprouts. Roberts hasn’t published a cookbook, but we did find recipes attributed to her for peach crisp and banana hemp muffins. Or you can make the same summer salad the actress supposedly eats.

Chrissy Teigen started off as a supermodel. Then her love of cooking filtered into her professional life too. At this point, she’s created recipes for a limited Blue Apron release and also just launched her own home and cooking line at Target named “Cravings,” after the two cookbooks she’s released. Teigen describes cooking as “a time of peace” for herself. So maybe peace out to her tuna melt sandwich or the fried chicken wings that are a favorite of her husband, John Legend.

Lady Gaga, whose real name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, comes from a cooking Italian family. Her father started his own restaurant in New York and also published a cookbook. And apparently, Lady Gaga has inherited the family’s cooking genes. Her Instagram account occasionally features photos of her culinary activities. Sure, sometimes it’s topless cooking. But other times it’s more poignant like in the post she shared about her bringing food to the family of her dear friend who passed away. Want to try a Gaga/Germanotta family favorite? Check out her recipe for whole wheat pasta with a sweet fennel sauce.
