Bryan Cranston , who famously played meth-cooking cancer patient Walter White on Breaking Bad , helped fulfill a real-life cancer patient’s dream. Brad Joyner, who was diagnosed with brain cancer last year shortly after graduating from high school, created a Living List to inspire him to make the most of his life. After swimming with sharks and driving a 1967 Shelby Mustang, Joyner checked another item off his list by talking with Cranston over Skype.
