Hunter Developed a Special Bond with Bryan Cranston on the Set of "Your Honor"

After a four-month casting process, Doohan was cast in the first season of "Your Honor" in 2020 as the asthmatic son of a judge, played by Bryan Cranston, who kills a connected teen in a hit-and-run.

He told Awards Daily that he met with a pulmonologist to learn about asthma and got a physiologist's perspective on PTSD. The young actor also got practical acting advice from his Emmy-winning co-star on connecting with his love interest in the show.

The TV father and son playfully bantered in an Interview feature where Cranston said that it was vital that they had established "a bond, a trust, [and] a fondness for each other." Doohan told The New York Post that his TV dad was the "nicest guy in the world."
