Watch Bryan Cranston transform into Walter White for Netflix's 'Breaking Bad' film in one minute

• "Breaking Bad" star Bryan Cranston shared a video of his transformation into drug kingpin Walter White on Twitter Monday. 
• Cranston, who had a brief cameo in "El Camino," the "Breaking Bad" spin-off film that premiered on Netflix this month, had to wear a bald cap and special makeup for the scene. 
• The time-lapse video shows the actor getting fitted with the bald cap as well as a fake moustache. 
• Cranston had a full head of hair at the time due to his role as anchorman Howard Beale in the Broadway adaptation of "Network," and only had 36 hours to film the cameo. 
• The actor wore a bald cap to resemble Walter White again, but his head shape had to be altered in post-production. 
• "We also had to get a little digital (effects) help to shrink Bryan's head so it didn't look bulbous with the bald cap on," writer-director Vince Gilligan told USA Today.
