Little-known fact (probably useless trivia but it's interesting to me): Trumbo's daughter dated Steve Martin back when he was beginning his stand-up career. Some of Martin's earliest headshots were taken by her.
Anyway, Cranston should pull this role off. With a pair of glasses and a shaved head, he looks like Trumbo. But will audiences want to watch a film where the main character spends half the film in a bathtub?
