Although it might be surprising to learn that most of Walter White’s appearance in “Felina” was the result of heavy prosthetic makeup, perhaps this episode was a sign of things to come for Bryan Cranston’s later appearances as the character.
Cranston reprised his role as the chemistry teacher turned meth kingpin in Netflix’s sequel movie “El Camino,” for which he underwent an extensive amount of makeup work to apply a bald cap and false mustache. Despite the immense effort that went into said bald cap, its appearance was ridiculed by many fans online for making Walt’s head seem gigantic in comparison to everybody around him. Cranston also famously wore a lifelike prosthetic mask of Walter White during a 2013 appearance at San Diego Comic-Con, which he removed during the panel –- comically gasping for fresh air as he did so. Cranston wore another bald cap for his cameo appearance in the “Better Call Saul” finale “Saul Gone,” though this time, there was less backlash regarding his appearance.
It’s certainly interesting to learn the sheer amount of prosthetic makeup that Bryan Cranston has applied during his time as Walt, in some cases using it to make him seem old and near death, and in others using it to return to his appearance from the show’s beginning.
