Daniela's Lens stopped by the Brady Center's 2018 Bear Awards where Bryan Cranston helped honor real-life heroes! Check out highlights below

The 2018 BEAR Awards took place last night at Gotham Hall in memory of Jim “Bear” Brady, the White House Press Secretary who was shot and permanently disabled during the attempted assassination of Ronald Reagan, back in 1981. All his life, Brady lobbied for stricter handgun control and assault weapon restrictions.
