When Your Honor launched in 2020, it marked Bryan Cranston’s first TV leading role since his iconic performance as Walter White in Breaking Bad.

Now on its second season, the drama series follows the story of Michael Desiato, a sensible, law-abiding judge who finds himself breaking the rules – and the law – to protect his family after his son Adam is involved in a fatal hit-and-run and the victim turns out to be the son of a vindictive mob boss.

“What really got me interested in playing Michael Desiato initially was the concept of ‘What would you do to save the life of your child?’,” Cranston explains in an exclusive interview with Digital Spy.

“Any loving parent that I know would do anything, and I would too – I would lay down my life to save the life of my child. Would you become a criminal if that meant you would save the life of your child? And the answer would be yes, I would.”
