Notes

^ Cranston portrays a parodic fictionalised version of himself simply referred to as "Mr. Middle" (after the television series Malcolm in the Middle, in which he had starred as Hal), who has a relationally aggressive interpersonal relationship with his co-star "Malcolm", paralleling that of Mac and Dennis Reynolds.
