‘Breaking Bad’ star Bryan Cranston recently revealed that he intially read for the role of Sebastian Shaw in X-MEN: FIRST CLASS, though the role went to Kevin Bacon. “They offered it to Kevin and they offered me a different role in it.” said Cranston. “At the same time I read [for another movie called] ‘Drive’ and I went ‘Oh this is what I’d rather do.’ and I turned down X-Men for the role in ‘Drive’ because I liked the character better, much better.”
