Richards, who has produced the current Broadway hit revival of "The Glass Menagerie" and the upcoming "The Bridges of Madison County," said Tuesday he's not ready to say when the play will open on Broadway but Cranston will definitely be front and center when it does. "He is unassuming. He is funny. He is charming," said Richards. "He's a wonderful team player. And he's a natural on the stage," he said. "I think people are going to be hopefully as impressed as I am with the portrayal." Cranston, who showed his comedic side in TV's "Malcolm in the Middle," is now best known as the school chemistry teacher-turned-meth kingpin Walter White in "Breaking Bad," who built a fortune over the bodies of his enemies. "Some people say it's perfect casting for Lyndon Baines Johnson," said Richards with a laugh.
