Cranston was born in Canoga Park, California, to Peggy Sell, a radio actress, and Joseph L. "Joe" Cranston, an actor and Hollywood producer. His great-grandmother was from County Clare, Ireland. Cranston grew up in the Los Angeles area, graduated from Canoga Park High School, and earned an associate degree in police science from Los Angeles Valley College.
Cranston performed as a youth, but his show business parents had mixed feelings about their son being involved in the profession, so he did not continue until years later.

Don't jump from the aeroplane

Hey, maybe you got some news for me

Too much violence in your heart
You have turn, burn inside out
You're here to lose, yeah you cannot stop us all
So fuck you all
And let it burn, burn, yeah...

Reason it out for me
Light up the sky for me
Reason it out for me

We look the same
Just authorize
Walking denial
Within reason
Into the wind of fire
Into the wind that I've made
You need to give another chance to me
