"Breaking Bad" star Bryan Cranston officially threw his support behind Hillary Clinton for president, though he did so while praising current Republican front-runner Ben Carson.

Cranston is firmly on Team Hillary, though he told Politico's Mike Allen he wishes the former secretary of state was "more to the center or even to the right" on monetary issues.

"I'm a social liberal but a fiscal conservative," he said. "I don't run my house that way. I don't buy things I can't pay for."

To that end, Cranston commented on how much he liked Carson, who ranks second in the Washington Examiner's presidential power rankings.

"I really like Ben Carson," Cranston told Allen. "He is so calm and in control."
