He may be better known as new-Jew dentist Dr. Tim Whatley in ‘Seinfeld’, or hen-pecked Hal in ‘Malcolm in the Middle’, or even teacher turns drug pusher Walter White in AMC’s ‘Breaking Bad’. But actor Brian Cranston has just scored a real out of this world role. The Emmy award winner will play the part of Cohaagen in the upcoming ‘Total Recall’ redo. Originally played by actor Ronny Cox in the Paul Verhoeven helmed sci-fi thriller back in the 90’s the remake will be focusing more on the Philip K. Dick story that Recall was actually based on. Cranston, whom I think I would have preferred to take on the Richter role portrayed by Michael Ironside, will be joining Colin Farrell who takes on the lead role, Quaid. ‘Underworld’ director Len Wiseman will take this bad boy by the reigns.
“Cohaagen is the leader of Euromerica who, under the cover of protecting his people, is secretly readying an invasion of New Shanghai.”
