‘Sneaky Pete’ Trailer: Giovanni Ribisi Targets Bryan Cranston in New Amazon Pilot

Bryan Cranston is Walter White no more: He’s now a guest star — and executive producer with David Shore (House) — on Amazon’s Sneaky Pete. In the first trailer for the new drama, Giovanni Ribisi plays a con man who steals his cellmate’s identity and begins working for the guy’s family. Sneaky Pete, which was originally developed for CBS and picked up by Amazon, also stars Margo Martindale, Libe Barer, Marin Ireland, Peter Gerety, and Shane McRae. The pilot will air Aug. 7 with other Amazon hopefuls, so viewers can vote on whether the show gets a full series order.
