Bryan Cranston has been attached to the Power Rangers franchise for several decades, putting a spotlight on the very clear similarity between the original Blue Ranger's name, Billy Cranston, and the Breaking Bad actor's name. Billy Cranston was introduced to audiences as the Blue Power Ranger in the original 1993 series Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. Billy was the brains of the group, often outsmarting their nemeses with his own intelligence. The character later appeared in other Power Rangers series such as Mighty Morphin Alien Rangers and Power Rangers Zeo.
