Geek Out! is a quick glimpse of something new and cool without a story’s worth of text to wade through.

Bryan Cranston is LBJ in first official image from All the Way

Believe it or not, that strikingly accurate image of LBJ (Lyndon B. Johnson) is actually Bryan Cranston in makeup for the upcoming HBO adaptation of All the Way. Yep, the same Bryan Cranston from your favorite meth dealing school teacher TV show Breaking Bad. This is our first look at Cranston in character for the HBO special, but word is the man (not the president) blew audiences away with his performance in the Broadway play of the same name. If you look really closely, maybe you can pick out bits and pieces of Cranston, but the transformation is impressive, to say the least. I had no idea All the Way was a Broadway play, let alone a soon-to-be HBO product, so this was a pleasant surprise to stumble across today. Whaddya think?
