'Ramayana: The Legend of Prince Ram' was a widely popular version of the epic Hindu mythology. It was popular not just in India but also in America. Did you know it was actor Bryan Cranston, famously known for his role as Walter White in the series Breaking Bad, who voiced for Lord Ram in the English version of the animated film. This information of the actor known for playing the morally ambiguous character in Breaking Bad might come as surprise. The actor had given a very quiet and sensible voice to the role that is considered God in Hindu mythology. The film was released as in the United States as the English-dubbed version of the 1993 animated film Ramayana: The Legend of Prince Rama.
Cranston lent his voice to Lord Ram, the main protagonist, while his fellow voice actor Tom Wyner brought the villain Ravana to life. Interestingly, the film was narrated by none other than James Earl Jones, known for his iconic voice as Darth Vader in Star Wars and Mufasa from The Lion King.
