Is Bryan Cranston the most adaptable actor in Hollywood? Having goofed around with slapstick in 'Malcolm in The Middle,' struggled with the perils of right and wrong in 'Breaking Bad' and fought the system in 'Godzilla', the 58-year-old actor picked up a Tony Award for his portrayal of former President of The United States, Lyndon Johnson, in 'All the Way' on Saturday (June 7).

The accolade extends Cranston’s remarkable winning streak which has seen him pick up Emmys, Golden Globes and SAGs for his memorable turn as Walter White, the chemistry teacher-turned-drug empire lynchpin with an unquenchable appetite for power and a seemingly irresistible urge for revenge.

'All The Way', commissioned, developed and premiered by Oregon Shakespeare Festival, also saw its writer Robert Schenkkan pick up the gong for Best New Play. Taking its name from LBJ’s famous slogan, “LBJ, all the way”, Schenkkan’s work chronicles 36th president’s efforts to manoeuvre members of the 88th United States Congress to enact the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
