Anthony Hopkins wrote an email of admiration to Bryan Cranston

About his stellar acting performance in Breaking Bad. Here it is in its entirety:

Dear Mister Cranston.  

I wanted to write you this email – so I am contacting you through Jeremy Barber – I take it we are both represented by UTA . Great agency.  

I’ve just finished a marathon of watching “BREAKING BAD” – from episode one of the First Season – to the last eight episodes of the Sixth Season. (I downloaded the last season on AMAZON) A total of two weeks (addictive) viewing.  

I have never watched anything like it. Brilliant!  

Your performance as Walter White was the best acting I have seen – ever.  

I know there is so much smoke blowing and sickening bullshit in this business, and I’ve sort of lost belief in anything really.  

But this work of yours is spectacular – absolutely stunning. What is extraordinary, is the sheer power of everyone in the entire production. What was it? Five or six years in the making? How the producers (yourself being one of them), the writers, directors, cinematographers…. every department – casting etc. managed to keep the discipline and control from beginning to the end is (that over used word) awesome.

From what started as a black comedy, descended into a labyrinth of blood, destruction and hell. It was like a great Jacobean, Shakespearian or Greek Tragedy.  

If you ever get a chance to – would you pass on my admiration to everyone – Anna Gunn, Dean Norris, Aaron Paul, Betsy Brandt, R.J. Mitte, Bob Odenkirk, Jonathan Banks, Steven Michael Quezada – everyone – everyone gave master classes of performance … The list is endless.  

Thank you. That kind of work/artistry is rare, and when, once in a while, it occurs, as in this epic work, it restores confidence.  

You and all the cast are the best actors I’ve ever seen.  

That may sound like a good lung full of smoke blowing. But it is not. It’s almost midnight out here in Malibu, and I felt compelled to write this email.  

Congratulations and my deepest respect. You are truly a great, great actor.  

Best regards  

Tony Hopkins.

Some jackass stole a 'Breaking Bad' script from Bryan Cranston

From Uproxx:

Lead actor Bryan Cranston reported someone broke his car window and took a shoulder bag which had his iPad and a copy of his “Breaking Bad” script on March 1, according to the criminal complaint.  

Court documents reveal one of Cranston’s employees, Taryn Feingold, was contacted by a confidential informant. That informant detailed a local bar conversation, where a man was bragging about how he broke into a vehicle at the Sandia Crest, and had an iPad and script from the “Breaking Bad” series. 

Xavier McAfee was arrested Saturday for the burglary, according to arrest records. 

The Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office said the script hasn’t been recovered and the investigation is ongoing.

Hopefully the criminal just wanted the iPad and threw out the Breaking Bad script when they realized it didn't have a recipe for meth. Regardless, I hope the script doesn't get leaked and ruin anything for the show's final 8 episodes, set to air this summer. I won't be spoiling anything though, and certainly won't be posting it on here!

If Breaking Bad were a 1995 TV drama

Bryan Cranston judges a Walter White lookalike contest

Who to better judge a Walter White lookalike contest than Heisenberg himself, Bryan Cranston? Apparently nobody, because Cranston was the judge at the contest in none other than Albuquerque, New Mexico. Some photos below, with the full story here. Even Aaron Paul (Jesse) and Michael Quezada (Gomez) stopped by!

The Journey of Walter White

Yes, I'm obsessed with Breaking Bad if you didn't already conclude that. The 5th season wrapped up last Sunday, so in order to delay my withdraw symptoms I'm posting about the show whenever I can. Luckily, other fans share my obsession, and I'm able to present you with fan videos, fan art, lists, etc. Here's a fan made video showing the evolution of Walter White from boring chemistry teacher to full blown Heisenberg, spoilers of course. Man, Bryan Cranston is great.
