Cranston is pretty overrated. BB is great and he is great in it but he doesn't have half the range Fassbender does and their records speak for themselves.

You could argue Fassbender has been one of the best actor of the past 5 years, certainly in the top 5. Cranston has struggled to remain relevant since BB ended

Given their ages that gap is only going to widen in Fassbenders favor

Cranston. Fassbender is great but Cranston proved he's just on another level in Breaking Bad.

As far as consistency is concerned, Fassbender is in a class of his own. He's like Harrison Ford in his prime. Cranston is only relevant because of the Breaking Bad hype train. Granted he's not a bad actor, but Fassbender is among the greatest.

How does Cranston not have range? He went from playing Malcolm in the Middle's dad immediately to Walter White.

I'm more of a Cranston fan but I think Fassbender is an overall better actor.

Cranston's only memorable role was WW, and I thought he was average.

Fassbender's skill and body of work is far more impressive.

Fassbender is one of my top 3 favorite actors of this times

He indeed has more range

Shame (his best role imo)

Hunger (has an uncut dialogue scene that last 15 freakin minutes)

Macbeth

Steve Jobs

12 Years a Slave

A Dangerous Method

Prometheus

X-Men First Class

Fish Tank

his short but briliant role in Inglorious Basterds,

His comedy Frank where he wears a mask all the time,

Eden Lake

You see the range and diversity Fassbender has? He can play drama, comedy, everything, and he is brilliant

Can´t wait to see him in Entering Hades

Fassebender but Cranston is great as well.

If Fassebender was a 10/10 actor, i'd say Cranston was 8/10

Cranston. Malcolm in the Middle to Breaking Bad. That's some serious range. Cranston made the Walter White character so enjoyable.

Bryan Cranston steals EVERY SINGLE scene he is in. He just has such an entertaining method.

And to all of those saying he has only done Breaking Bad- you're completely wrong. He's an Oscar nominated actor.

Also, Breaking Bad is like sixty hours of content...

I can barely stomach the scene where she is in the bathroom and all of the parents are freaking out outside of the door.

And then her screams after the kid goes upstairs. Holy shit, that's absolutely haunting.

I've never been a fan of Fassbender, his emotions while acting always look forced. While I admire Cranston cause he is a great fit in everything he touched, I mean he went from Malcolm in the middle to Breaking Bad, the transformation was just breathtaking.

Honestly I believe this is closer than people think.

I saw BB, and Malcolm. I've also seen All the Way, where he plays Lyndon B. Johnson... And it's realllly damn good.

I honestly am not sure who I prefer. Just putting it out there.

Michael Fassbender.

Reasons:

  1. 12 Years A Slave.
  2. Steve Jobs.
  3. Shame.
