Nobody could play Walter White like Bryan. His expressions, his eyes, his mannerisms, you knew just what he was thinking at every turn. I'm still blown away at his performance. Your Emmys Bryan……….well deserved!
Arlette Abacherli every actor who won an award for this show are well fuckin deserved. This is a classic that will last forever , in regular people like me and you and with the actors that played the role. Walter white will live in Bryan Cranston forever!
I wonder if there were any actors considered for the Walter White roll before Bryan Cranston. Or if there are other actors that denied the role. I'd like to know the answer to that question.. I do remember hearing but I'm not sure where that dude from Ferris Bueller's Day Off was going to take the role.
Bryan Cranston as Walter White is, in my opinion, the best role in the history of television and cinema. The thought, dedication, and work this man put into his character is unbelievable and it shows on screen. It is not often, especially when it comes to a television show, that an actor completely immerses an audience into their character. While watching this ground breaking series there was not a single moment in which I saw Bryan Cranston as an actor. To me, he was Walter White the entire time. It was as if the chemistry teacher turned drug lord was a real person and we were following his true story. Mr. Cranston and the show Breaking Bad changed my life and impressed me beyond belief. It will go down in my book as the best story I have ever witnessed.
I think its arguably the greatest acting performance ever,Aaron Paul towards the end of the series gave me goosebumps he gave the performance of his life on par with Bryan
Is anyone else addicted to watching these after finishing the series? I'm looking up all sorts of interviews and special segments for all of the actors lol I NEED MORE BREAKING BAD OMFG, WITHDRAWAL!
The last episode of breaking bad is called Felina Fe-Li-Na Iron, Lithium, Sodium Blood, Meth, Tears Also an anagram for finale. There are 62 episodes of breaking bad, 62 is the element used to treat/kill cancer
Bryan Cranston is the only actor I've ever known who can understand the complexity and diverseness of human emotion, and with such luck to be Chosen , he gave ultimate reality to a Character as special as Whalter White, and blew away millions of Peoples minds.
Bryan had a tough up bringing and he said in one of his interviews that he channels the emotions he had n applies it into his acting so a lot of the scenes in breaking bad especially was genuine emotions from a person
Just finished today. I'm drained and my brain is twisted. By far the most amazing show i have ever seen. Acting beyond acting. Kinda depressing that is over
Yep.....you are going from shock systems which will then lead to withdrawals. Boy those are tough to deal with and you are a new comer and just starting. Maybe you need a sponsor. The rest of us are still in denial and some of us in other UA-cam videos have start to write a new script on the comments section and hoping Vince Gilligan runs into the script and then decides to brings them all back to life. Even Miho that crazy Mexican with the crazy tio (uncle) Take care fourth layer and when you get temped to see it again, you won't regret it. Best regards from a 68 year old grandma Estella Sister.
Took me some time to see this show since I do not watch much TV. I am retired and had the opportunity to watch it due to some encouragement from one of my daughters. I finally gave in and watched the first episode. It took only a few minutes and then I forgot I was watching a movie and fell into the trance and life of Walter White. Then comes Jesse and Walters family and those drug dealing characters, who in my opinion should have gotten some recognition, and I was hooked. What a story. Just saw the last episode yesterday. I wish it had not ended. Anyway as a senior 67 years of age I must say this is a one of a kind and unforgetable story which will be talked about for years to come. Thank you to all who worked so hard to make it happen.
+Estella Sistar Thank you for your input, great lady. I'm glad you enjoyed the show. try watching The walking Dead if you haven't already, it's great too.
Kaito Spin Will do! I have heard about that movie and I do have Netflix and Hulu so I will be looking for it. Thank you for the suggestion and have a blessed day.
I wholeheartedly agree!! I, too, was hooked after the first few minutes. I just watched the whole series in Feb. of 2016 and watched it in 10 days. for days after it was still in my mind, and everything around me reminded me of Walter or Hank or Gus. When it ended, I have never felt so satisfied from any show ever. this show has surpassed everything I've ever seen in my 45 years. I'm glad I didn't watch it when it was on because I wouldn't have been able to wait 7 days between episodes and waiting months between seasons would have been torture. This is simply the best show in the history of tv. I will forever be comparing all future shows to BB.
What touched me here is he saying how fortunate he is on being able to do something he enjoys doing, goofing around and using his imagination...(acting) and gets paid for it.. If you really love your work, you won't feel like working at all. A man who loves what he is doing is a happy man.
I uh… I eat a lot of frozen stuff… It’s usually pretty bad, I mean the pictures are always so awesome, you know? It’s like “hell yeah, I’m starved for this lasagna!” and then you nuke it and the cheese gets all scabby on top and it’s like… it’s like you’re eating a scab… I mean, seriously, what’s that about? It’s like “Yo! What ever happened to truth in advertising?” You know?
Jesse Pinkman Why kind of a loser creates a UA-cam account based on a fictional character than goes around commenting on related videos? You are one of the most pathetic human beings in existence.
I think about becoming a professional writer a lot. This interview lifted my spirits even higher. Bryan Cranston is an amazing actor and human being. God...what a soul.
Every actor cherry-picked, from the lead role to the extras. Every writer, producer, director. Paying attention to detail; anyone who hasn't done this yet should' for example, take a good look at the books in the Schraders' library, while Jesse prepares to give his recorded statement. Every episode ending-credits music, a different version of the BB theme tune. Broke the mold. Raised the standards for American television. Well played, Vince Gilligan. I take my (pork-pie) hat off to you. :)
the reason BB is so good is because its exciting and dramatic without compromising believability ; you truly believe each scenario would have happened. the great acting and script are just a bonus
T Mitchell I agree, except for Walt leaving the leaves of grass book in the bathroom. Brilliant people can do dumb things but that just seems too out of character. It came off as a contrived plot point needed to keep the story going.
It's so amazing to see Bryan just being himself here and realize he's so close to Walter White or just simply such an amazing actor. His voice, his person, everything fits. All the actors in the show have this but watching this interview is just watching Walter White explaining the whole thing.. Breathtaking.
Ammer Reduron Yeah I know right!? But there's a huge difference between Walter and Bryan, and that's that Walter is full of hatred and jealousy for his missed chances, and then does everything to keep that massive ego trip of him going (nothing stops this train. BITCH!), while Bryan does what he loves and is incredibly happy and satisfied, but also doesn't take it on the ego trip tour, thinking like "IM THE GREATEST!" and such. In fact, I think for the great actor that he is, he is very humble (and humorous xD).
i agree, he is very humble, thankful and humorous.. i know. it's just very cool to see how he can play with these different elements to emphasize things in interviews. he is both a great actor and person.
The most amazing thing is that he got the role after Vince remembered him from a random X-files episode. Also the way he puts it, that these days we don't like good and bad characters but gray ones, that's so true.
I saw all 62 shows three times now; still holds together & reveals even more. BC has such a great speaking voice....the authority in his voice really makes BB.
Born and raised in my beautiful state of New Mexico. Thank you Bryan Cranston for honoring and respecting my state. You're a gem and we're blessed to have had your show in our state. Vaya Con Dios man!
Yeah it sucks when a great show like that ends. But I got to hand it to Vince Gilligan it actually was in my opinion one of the greatest endings to a series. So satisfying
No, no. He's both. Talent and luck aren't mutually exclusive. Plenty of talented folks don't get that lucky break (or two or three) and wind up in relative obscurity. That's why gratitude is important--it isn't just our effort or work or talent, there's that random element that is commonly called 'luck.' Remembering that keeps us humble and kind and generous to the less 'lucky'.
I'm a native born New Mexican. Breaking Bad has really put our beautiful state on the map. Let me say thank you to Bryan Cranston for loving and respecting our state. You are now officially a New Mexican and we're proud to have you.
"If something is not well written it has no chance to be a good production... you might have explosions and things and pretty girls... but it's not going to be good" The difference between a great actor like Bryan Cranston and a terrible director like Michael Bay
What do people find attractive in Walt? Because they see the easiness with which they themselves would go down that same road were they in similar situations and facing the same choices. It's because Walt is portrayed (written and acted) so brilliantly as a universal sort of human being (good qualities with flaws that could and do lead to incredible vices) that he's a sort of evil Everyman. We all see ourselves reflected in him. (Pass the bong, man.)
In my opinion, it's because justice must out rule injustice; even if, the rules of the "powers-that-be" must be broken during the course of the battle. It's a "Robin Hood" story in a way; although, the poor is "cancer" in this case.
mermaidcandy It's interesting that you make this comment. I've been thinking about evil as motivated not by just wanting to hurt people or bad intentions, but instead by a sense of injustice that becomes magnified and displaced onto others -- the typical "I got hurt or screwed in some way, now I'm getting revenge." I see this in Walt's character: he got screwed out of a brilliant career and is making virtually nothing, so he internalizes this unfairness and displaces it onto the world: what's my name? You're goddamn right. This, to me, is the spirit of all evil. Which means that evil is motivated in part by something good: justice.
Kierkegaard Well said, very true! You can see those seeds of that sense of "justice displaced into evil" in Walt as early as season one (I believe it was) when he rejects his wealthy friends' offer to pay for his cancer treatment, due to his sense of injustice and entitlement, and instead continues to pursue the meth business as an alternative for paying for the treatment.
Bryan is so articulate and direct when being interviewed. He barley stuttered and didn't say "um" or "uh" a lot. Bryan is such an amazingly talented and smart person.
Should have ended with the interviewer saying "that's all the time we have" and Bryan standing up "We're done, when I say we're done.. i'm just kidding, nice talking to you."
I'm obviously a huge fan. Bryan's acting is clearly superb. What also impresses me is his smooth blend of intelligence, candor, and good will. He seems to be genuinely decent as well as open and honest. With the kind of money he has he could easily afford (pun intended) to be a pompous ass. I'm always amazed at what a "package deal" he seems to be. "Breaking Bad" is by far the best series I've ever watched. My hats off to Bryan, Vince Gilligan, Aaron Paul, and the entire cast and crew.
When I first saw an advert for Breaking Bad, I thought, oh hey, the Malcolm in the Middle Dad. Now when I see Cranston; I think Heisenberg. Phenomenal role.
What an interesting, humble guy. I loved this interview. I too have been introduced to Albuquerque through family and of all the places I have travelled to, it is the best. I will return for my 3rd visit very soon. Thanks Bryan and Breaking Bad for bringing this wonderful place to the rest of the world. I loved this show and I love this town.
Bryan is soooo humble! To acknowledge that one has to have good luck to be successful shows extreme humility. He could easily have said, "It's because I'm just that great!" Gotta love Bryan. He, Dean, Jonathan, Bob, Giancarlo and Aaron made this show
You got to hear the story he tells on Marc Maron podcast about how he was a suspect in a murder. An actual murder . The chef was murdered when he was working as like a waiter or something in Restaurant. Check it out WTF podcast with Marc Maron
Great job to both Bryan Cranston and the interviewer. The whole thing flowed perfectly, reasonable and intelligent questions were asked, and it was fun to watch.
I love how he said he uses manipulation to get actors to do things, because Walter White used a ton of manipulation to get everything done in Breaking Bad.
Loved this show. I didn't want to watch... because my son -- who was disturbingly pre-occupied with stories about drugs -- loved it. So I, as his mom, tried hard to discourage anything drug related. It wasn't until he moved out (after graduating college) that I was finally able to try watching it... without extreme prejudice. And I loved it. In fact, in talking to my now adult son, I found I liked the Walter White character much more than he did. He identified with Jesse. But I totally understood WW's total desperation at the outset of the series. I was in a similar situation when my kids were young. I was raising them alone, working 2-3 jobs to make ends meet and then... I became disabled. Without any health care. I don't have anything terminal. But, then, I didn't find any way out, either. But I totally identified with everything he did. I get that he did it for his family, even the most despicable, horrible things. Only parents -- and only parents who have been in that spot -- can understand how far they'll go for their children. I can say with all confidence I would go to hell for my children. I think have that in common with Walter White. And I'd like to think, having portrayed WW so well, that Bryan Cranston understands that, too. Thank you.
I think that the last few series passed really fast, but everything else is really really interresting. Bassically I didn't really bother of anything on breaking bad, but I was just sad it ended so soon... I miss that show it's like it becomes part of my life when you actually start watching it
Even many SS officers during WWII, who murdered hundreds of people day after day, were good family men. They loved their wives and children, they would joyfully play with their children...etc. But, they were monsters while doing their jobs. It's simply astonishing that people have that in them and can still be good husbands and fathers.
well people are dualistic in nature..we have both good and evil sides in us, you can`t be only good even "holy" men think about sex or about masturbating once in a while..The examples you gave are just men who love their families but they are bad..And one of the morals of breaking bad is that you can`t fully acomplish that because what you do at home with your family and "at work" influence eachother especially if your family does not approve.
I just watched better call Saul from beginning to end and then jumped into breaking bad from beginning to end and then ended with El Camino and I got to say when you watch it all together it’s one of the greatest if not the greatest sagas all time.
Matt Grubs, may I say this interview may be the best interview with Bryan I've ever seen. Very interesting and insightful questions, and it's obvious that Mr Cranston enjoyed it. You made him think! Kudos to you, Matt, great job!
Cranston is a rare breed in Hollywood. I'd disagree with much of his politics, but the man has character and integrity. I admire that. Someone should make this video a transcript!
Bryan is an interesting and artful personality. He can play any role with ease and I am so glad I listened to my dad and started watching Breaking Bad when I had previously ignored it.
Great interview!! I absolutely love Bryan Cranston. Before BB he was not even on my radar, but now I want to see more of his work. I also loved hearing what he had to say about NM. I have only been to NM once and that was back when I was in the army, so it was not the most stellar experience. NO WAIT! It WAS the most stellar.....we slept outside so I saw THE MOST STARS EVER!!
When Anthony Hopkins writes you an email saying that your performance is the best performance ever, you KNOW you're good.
'its a cautionary tale about poor decision making' ...what a statement.
One of the most intelligent, elegant, and sincere people in the entertainment business. Great interview.

Honestly Aaron Paul is the best actor on that show...I think anyway. I like the guy that plays Hank also.
Perfectly suited for Bryan Cranston

The writing is superb.
Truly spoken as someone who has never watched The Sopranos.
Is anyone else addicted to watching these after finishing the series? I'm looking up all sorts of interviews and special segments for all of the actors lol I NEED MORE BREAKING BAD OMFG, WITHDRAWAL!
Haha, I'm exactly the same. I finished the series a few days ago, and all these days I've been watching all sorts of videos on UA-cam. :D
Glad to see people with the same issues I have...It is really nice to hear how an actor preps for a role and understands his craft, great interview.

we are talking about NOTHING until, we catch this fly.
Who's fooled. That is not Bryan Cranston pretending to be an actor. That's Walter White himself, live and kicking.. undercover.
As so it speaks to his earth shattering portrayal of W.W.
He's using his "acting career" to launder money the money.
Hard to believe that the first season is essentially a comedy. It has such a huge arc in tone.
It’s not. Did you forget about crazy 8?
Gamer Gunn of 87 There are certainly comedic moments in the first season but it is in no way a comedy.
In addition to acting, I hope Cranston will have more directorial roles. He really seems to have a good grasp on how important writing is in film.
Such a way with words, and a terrific voice, too! On the lines with Freeman.
I love how he says "I did a show called Malcolm in the Middle for 7 years", without assuming everybody watching it knows of that show.
There was a hint of sarcasm in his tone there
What touched me here is he saying how fortunate he is on being able to do something he enjoys doing, goofing around and using his imagination...(acting) and gets paid for it.. If you really love your work, you won't feel like working at all. A man who loves what he is doing is a happy man.

no way. there's no way they could have pulled off the comic timing that's required for Walt's character
2bajatone I wouldnt say that. They still had Gus
I'm a native born New Mexican. Breaking Bad has really put our beautiful state on the map. Let me say thank you to Bryan Cranston for loving and respecting our state. You are now officially a New Mexican and we're proud to have you.
Is that Brian May?
I learn something new from every word Bryan Cranston utters. He is an inspiration. And, Matt Grub is a great interviewer.
the greatest TV show ever....love love it so much.......keeps on watching episodes......
me too
I agree Breaking Bad is the greatest TV show I've ever seen it's right up there with The Sopranos ..it's fun rooting for the bad guy
"If something is not well written it has no chance to be a good production... you might have explosions and things and pretty girls... but it's not going to be good"
The difference between a great actor like Bryan Cranston and a terrible director like Michael Bay
What do people find attractive in Walt? Because they see the easiness with which they themselves would go down that same road were they in similar situations and facing the same choices. It's because Walt is portrayed (written and acted) so brilliantly as a universal sort of human being (good qualities with flaws that could and do lead to incredible vices) that he's a sort of evil Everyman. We all see ourselves reflected in him.
(Pass the bong, man.)
In my opinion, it's because justice must out rule injustice; even if, the rules of the "powers-that-be" must be broken during the course of the battle. It's a "Robin Hood" story in a way; although, the poor is "cancer" in this case.
mermaidcandy It's interesting that you make this comment. I've been thinking about evil as motivated not by just wanting to hurt people or bad intentions, but instead by a sense of injustice that becomes magnified and displaced onto others -- the typical "I got hurt or screwed in some way, now I'm getting revenge." I see this in Walt's character: he got screwed out of a brilliant career and is making virtually nothing, so he internalizes this unfairness and displaces it onto the world: what's my name? You're goddamn right.
This, to me, is the spirit of all evil. Which means that evil is motivated in part by something good: justice.
Kierkegaard Well said, very true! You can see those seeds of that sense of "justice displaced into evil" in Walt as early as season one (I believe it was) when he rejects his wealthy friends' offer to pay for his cancer treatment, due to his sense of injustice and entitlement, and instead continues to pursue the meth business as an alternative for paying for the treatment.
I don't like WW character - but the role as an actor is one of the greatest roles I've ever seen...
no walter whites is really intense and he changed his whole life thats why he is best
but also jesse pinkman
A gentleman, why can't we live in societies with people like him. An inspiration.
Well what a classy honest and lovely all round bloke! Kudos to him!
Bryan is so articulate and direct when being interviewed. He barley stuttered and didn't say "um" or "uh" a lot. Bryan is such an amazingly talented and smart person.
This is a great interview - easy going, insightful, informative, fun. Thanks so much :)
thats not bryan cranston thats HEISENBERG !
This was a really great interview. Nice to see Byran being himself, honest and humble.
Even UA-cam commenters on a video Bryan's in are going to the trouble to use big words and proper grammar. That is true power.
What if I do that with every comment?
+Kaden Smidt - Perhaps Mr. Cranston and Breaking Bad just attract a more intelligent audience :)
Nice to see an interviewer that lets the interviewee talk at will without interrupting.
"How do you leave roll like walter white behind?" My answer: "YOU DON'T. IT STAYS WITH YOU FOREVER."
I don't care if I'm now 68 and a senior. I want a Walter White T-shirt. We old hippies may get old but are young at heart : )
Yeah he's rolling alright. "blowfishin' this up!"
I just love his voice. I mean the way in which it goes from smooth and caressing to harsh and guttural is a treat to watch.
Should have ended with the interviewer saying "that's all the time we have" and Bryan standing up "We're done, when I say we're done.. i'm just kidding, nice talking to you."
I'm obviously a huge fan. Bryan's acting is clearly superb. What also impresses me is his smooth blend of intelligence, candor, and good will. He seems to be genuinely decent as well as open and honest. With the kind of money he has he could easily afford (pun intended) to be a pompous ass. I'm always amazed at what a "package deal" he seems to be.
"Breaking Bad" is by far the best series I've ever watched. My hats off to Bryan, Vince Gilligan, Aaron Paul, and the entire cast and crew.
Isn't it great to see/hear an intelligent person talking? Great interview. Such a shame we don't get many proper interviews like this now on TV.
I believe that Bryan Cranston went to Harvard. He is amazing.
Estella Sistar . Bryan didn't go to Harvard, but Vince The creator went to Harvard and Dean Norris who played Hank also went to Harvard..
24:55 I live in London and yet i proudly took notes on all the places he mentioned, googled them, and i want to visit them one day
You should do it I took the Breaking Bad Tour when I went to New Mexico
When I first saw an advert for Breaking Bad, I thought, oh hey, the Malcolm in the Middle Dad. Now when I see Cranston; I think Heisenberg. Phenomenal role.
What an interesting, humble guy. I loved this interview. I too have been introduced to Albuquerque through family and of all the places I have travelled to, it is the best. I will return for my 3rd visit very soon. Thanks Bryan and Breaking Bad for bringing this wonderful place to the rest of the world. I loved this show and I love this town.
Great interview, really enjoyed it alot. BC is full of experience and he's a fun person to listen to.
Bryan is soooo humble! To acknowledge that one has to have good luck to be successful shows extreme humility. He could easily have said, "It's because I'm just that great!" Gotta love Bryan. He, Dean, Jonathan, Bob, Giancarlo and Aaron made this show
Well, it's official. Bryan Cranston is an amazing man ánd actor! The stories he is telling are all so real and touching. Great man!
You got to hear the story he tells on Marc Maron podcast about how he was a suspect in a murder. An actual murder . The chef was murdered when he was working as like a waiter or something in Restaurant. Check it out WTF podcast with Marc Maron
He’s such a humble person and just genuinely nice...brilliant interview.
this guy is so intellegent, it's frightening.
Bryan Cranston puts it best and it's true... 5 (6 at the very most) should be the limit for all great shows.
That isn't what he said or meant.
He pretty explicitly said that 'a story should be as long as it needs to be, no shorter or longer'.
gnihton correct... short attention spans lol
Please stay healthy Sir - we don't need another loss like JG
Two great actors, who can/could do both comedy and deep drama
who's JG?
T222 James Gandolfini aka Tony Soprano a true legend
Oh no by saying that you might have put the malocchia on him
Great job to both Bryan Cranston and the interviewer. The whole thing flowed perfectly, reasonable and intelligent questions were asked, and it was fun to watch.
I love how he said he uses manipulation to get actors to do things, because Walter White used a ton of manipulation to get everything done in Breaking Bad.
Didn't get to do BB but got on Better Call Saul a couple times as BG. Fun to spot scenes from BB as you shoot around Albuquerque.
Can't wait to see Bryan's performance in the Godzilla (1954) reboot :D
it was so mediocre as the movie itself.
He's not really the star of the film despite the top billing. His son in the film is the star.
HEISENBERG is the best TV character ever
Word.
Ever.
i think tony soprano would have something to say about that BEST SHOW EVER SOPRANOS A VERY VERY VERY CLOSE SECOND BREAKING BAD
@@victwenty2324 idk I love Sopranos, but there were times the show was stale. Breaking bad never went stale.
@@victwenty2324 fuck yeah bro
Wow!!! Just finished watching Breaking Bad in 5 days!!! An absolutely phenomenal series!
Loved this show. I didn't want to watch... because my son -- who was disturbingly pre-occupied with stories about drugs -- loved it. So I, as his mom, tried hard to discourage anything drug related. It wasn't until he moved out (after graduating college) that I was finally able to try watching it... without extreme prejudice. And I loved it.
In fact, in talking to my now adult son, I found I liked the Walter White character much more than he did. He identified with Jesse. But I totally understood WW's total desperation at the outset of the series. I was in a similar situation when my kids were young.
I was raising them alone, working 2-3 jobs to make ends meet and then... I became disabled. Without any health care.
I don't have anything terminal. But, then, I didn't find any way out, either. But I totally identified with everything he did. I get that he did it for his family, even the most despicable, horrible things. Only parents -- and only parents who have been in that spot -- can understand how far they'll go for their children.
I can say with all confidence I would go to hell for my children. I think have that in common with Walter White. And I'd like to think, having portrayed WW so well, that Bryan Cranston understands that, too.
Thank you.
I could listen to Bryan Cranston talk all day. This is a person with a lot of substance. No wonder why he’s so well respected and successful.
I think that the last few series passed really fast, but everything else is really really interresting. Bassically I didn't really bother of anything on breaking bad, but I was just sad it ended so soon... I miss that show it's like it becomes part of my life when you actually start watching it
Acting is one of the hardest jobs in the world. That's why very few are worthy of being called "artists".
he has so much class!
This is one of the most thorough interviews I have even seen. Well done!
Even many SS officers during WWII, who murdered hundreds of people day after day, were good family men. They loved their wives and children, they would joyfully play with their children...etc. But, they were monsters while doing their jobs. It's simply astonishing that people have that in them and can still be good husbands and fathers.
well people are dualistic in nature..we have both good and evil sides in us, you can`t be only good even "holy" men think about sex or about masturbating once in a while..The examples you gave are just men who love their families but they are bad..And one of the morals of breaking bad is that you can`t fully acomplish that because what you do at home with your family and "at work" influence eachother especially if your family does not approve.
max, many of those SS men who had families were both mad and still good to their families.
What don't I understand? The dual nature of man? Who is not "allowing," me to understand? What narrative?
David Fahey I don't think anyone can be bothered to explain this to you
Louis Eastwell That's probably because the explanations thus far have been complete bullshit. Fact is duallity is inherent in every human.
I just watched better call Saul from beginning to end and then jumped into breaking bad from beginning to end and then ended with El Camino and I got to say when you watch it all together it’s one of the greatest if not the greatest sagas all time.
The shaved head and goatee just makes this interview even better!
Matt Grubs, may I say this interview may be the best interview with Bryan I've ever seen. Very interesting and insightful questions, and it's obvious that Mr Cranston enjoyed it. You made him think! Kudos to you, Matt, great job!
I can't really think of a more likable actor than Bryan. Maybe Robert Downey Jr...Maybe.
The light in his soul never vvas never spent.
Cranston is a rare breed in Hollywood. I'd disagree with much of his politics, but the man has character and integrity. I admire that. Someone should make this video a transcript!
A restraining order? RESTRAIN THIS!!!
AdoptionFale or when he says to bogdad *. wipe up this*
Ball grab
😂😂😂👍👍
Bryan is an interesting and artful personality. He can play any role with ease and I am so glad I listened to my dad and started watching Breaking Bad when I had previously ignored it.
From the Dentist from Seinfeld to a Meth Cook/Science pro…NOT BAD Mr. White….I mean Mr. Cranston
winter ramos when he fuking turns Jewish to say jokes
Tim Watley
😂😂👍👍👍
@@joshuaquinn1986 😂😂😂😂😂😂👍👍👍👍
Great interview!! I absolutely love Bryan Cranston. Before BB he was not even on my radar, but now I want to see more of his work. I also loved hearing what he had to say about NM. I have only been to NM once and that was back when I was in the army, so it was not the most stellar experience. NO WAIT! It WAS the most stellar.....we slept outside so I saw THE MOST STARS EVER!!
