That's scene hurt me dude throughout the whole series I used Walt Jr as a means to understand why Skylar acted the way she did but when he lied I couldn't even sympathize with either of them.
Jram7 hahahaha imagine how many pizzas he had to throw on the roof to get the shot just right. That kind of trauma is enough to make any grown man break down
@@user-yk7dc9hu2k I dont even think he intended for it to happen apparently it just somehow landed on the roof and made the scene 100x better so they decided to keep it in! 😂
The scene that kills me and feels like a gut punch to watch is Jesse crying in the crack house. The way he cries is so devastatingly real. Itll probably forever be one of the hardest things for me to watch.
@@NLBusiness391 Yeah, that must have been a difficult day for him! I've done some acting to a much lesser extent and emotions like that have to come from a genuine place within you.
He is such a good actor. It took way to long before people were able to recognize his talent. I'm glad that he started taking risks in his career because they paid off and he rose to the challenge.
Walter was originally supposed to be Mathew Broderick and John Cussack. While I do like Cussack I do not think he would have held a candle to the performance Bryan gave.
Watching Bryan Cranston do an interview is more entertaining and interesting than seeing some of these other folks trying to actually act. Dude is a legend.
While I've been a familiar with and a fan of Cranston for a good time, and his performance in BB was one of the GOATs afaic, it was only until recently that I realized JUST how good this guy is after seeing footage of him doing improv on some comedy show. Considering that he was able to perform so brilliantly off the cuff, given ANY amount of time to research and prepare for a character, he can't miss...certainly in the top few of all times.
He absolutely is, but he's enjoying the smell of his own farts a little too much here. He's acting like he went through PTSD when its just a scene... cmon.
+DumbDuck44 while I kind of agree. You have to realize for true actors they go through every step possible to convince themselves this is reality, especially in a show going for gritty realism such as breaking bad.
In interviews, Bryan's always so self-deprecating and such a big kid. This was rare insight into his artistic genius and how he crafts his characters. I have to buy this book.
I think it's because he didn't achieve big fame until later in life. He was a working actor and family man for many years before fame really hit him, allows you to stay grounded and less egocentric.
He wasn't in that movie and, while it'd make a funny pop reference, it's not relevant to him. I'm sure his editors were pushing for Breaking Bryan or something, but he doesn't want to be remembered for a single role
I personally think the most impressive bit of acting in the entire series is when Walt is in the crawlspace and basically has a nervous breakdown. "Where is the MONEY Skylar?!" You can hear the emotion in his voice and it genuinely sounds like a person on the verge of unravelling. Spine tingling. Great actor.
The mixture of laughter, screaming and weeping he descends into is absolutely horrifying and sounds so real. I can't imagine they had many takes to get that one right, it must take a lot out of you to do that.
It is not about the fly. It is about Jesse, Walt and their relationship. I am sad that so many people don't value these very sensible developments of the story
that shows his real ability of acting. he can play a very funny comedy character; a powerless, depressed man, who caught by midlife crisis and he can play a truly inhuman, sociopathic drug dealer, shaped by his surrounding fellows, which led to a tragic character and story. this is fucking magic!
I love Malcolm in the Middle but it took me years to watch Breaking Bad because I just couldn't believe the actor from that show could make a believable drug dealer...boy was I wrong
probably he meant it was overrated for the character, cause Walt was already becoming Heisenberg by then. So, if you intent your main character to be just pure evil, saving a life wouldn't match with the concept. It was just the beginning. It was such a horrible scene and terrible loss regardless Jane's plans, but she had to get out of Walter's way, so, the best thing to do was to let her die. He never killed her, but he didn't save her either. ´Perfect changing moment for Walt
Vince Gilligan talks about this scene a lot too as one that really sticks with him. He says you really need the high definition, uncompressed version of the footage to really appreciate the insanely world-class acting Bryan is doing and the subtle, almost imperceptable range of emotions he is putting forth--shock, fear, happiness, uncertainty, love, hate, worry--all in a few seconds. Vince said it's the best acting he's ever witnessed in person.
It is awesome that his career blew up after Breaking Bad. He had tons of roles in so many good films. Drive was a criminally underrated film. He was good in Contagion, Argo, Godzilla, Total Recall, the Lincoln Lawyer. I would love to see him get an oscar one day.
He was already world famous for his role as Hal in Malcolm in The Middle. That is what we call a once in a lifetime role. A role that as an actor, you could go to sleep satisfied that you ever got the chance to play that role even once in your career. The reason Bryan Cranston’s story is so fascinating is that he got a once in a lifetime role twice. Even if he had never played the role of Walter White he would have died a famous legendary actor for how he brought Hal to life. But he managed to get a second once in a lifetime role in a show and for this he will be immortalized as an actor and for me personally, my favorite actor of all time.
SenorPredo - The Government Sucks I'm not talking about looks, rather his personality, i mean, have you seen his oprah interview ? Actual nightmare material
PrzyCzaj we get to see a happy and harmless scientist teacher turn into a meth king, the things Walter had to do to hide it from his family was extreme and honestly I enjoyed the intense scenes, no other tv show could've done it other than breaking bad. But in the end it's just personal taste, don't like it? Fine by me, who am I to judge your opinion.
It was the most heart-wrenching scene in the whole show. You really could see Bryan the actor crack in the scene at how horrible it was. Incredible acting. My favorite scene has to be when he's in the basement and asks Skylar "WHERE'S THE MONEY?" then laughs uncontrollably when she tells him she gave it to Ted.
I realize this is an old comment, but it's arguably this scene that pushed Walter over that point of no return, partially because it was a betrayal of Jesse. It was one thing for one of his little street friends to get caught in the line of fire doing the job, but this was different. There are too many layers to really go into in a comment like this, but I think this is where Heisenberg truly replaces Walter.
Honestly the scene that killed me and still kills me is t he scene where Jacks gang is dragging Jessie from under the car he is hiding in towards the end of the series. Mainly because at that point I really really liked Jessie as a character (probably because unlike the others he developed a moral backbone and understood the bigger picture of what he was involved in), and to see him turned into a slave with those he loved technically held hostage was gutwrenching. Its honestly why I felt like I had to watch El Camino when it came out. I always felt that if one character in the show truly deserved a second shot at life it was him.
My moment is when he said his goodbyes to his kids. Watching his son and seeing his daughter for the last time. That was the most emotional for me in that show. Also I can’t forget how scared she looked in the fire truck, that hurt the most.
I'm late for the party, but I got to know Bryan through interviews (especially on the Graham Norton show) before watching the Big BB. I thought he was charming, endearing, sweet and magical. Finally, after sitting down and watching the show...I'll need to binge hours of interviews with him to remind me as to the gentle soul I was first introduced. Walter White is vicious, and sick. It's scary how Bryan can manifest such a transformation. I thought Benedict Cumberbatch and Gary Oldman were the only two who could transform themselves.. But No...Bryan here is a wizard of a whole deeper level...
''The scene that broke me most was jesse at the group meeting where he tells the councelor "You back over your own kid and you just what, accept that!" gets me every time
The scene that broke me was when Gale was killed. I just couldn't handle all the pain and anguish Walter was causing the people around him by that point. Also, Gale's innocence compared to a lot of the other characters moved me and I liked him for it.
@Joseph O'Brien Walter still made the call, they could have very easily skipped town or accepted their fates, but they both chose to kill Gale to save their asses
DavesWorld he only killed those people because Captain Picard failed in his efforts to represent the human race in a court of law. So really it was Jean Luc's fault.
The greatest actor ever! He’s all around perfect, he can be absolutely hilarious, can cry, make you cry & bring the intensity in scenes. He’s Leonardo Decaprio level skilled actor but better since he can also do comedy
Personally, what broke me was Walt's speech "I am the one who knocks". It was clear for me at that point that Walt's goal wasn't making cash for his family anymore, it was about him fueling his ego, his Heisenberg persona. He was introduced as a kind, seemingly innocent teacher, only for us to see the monster Walt becomes by the 3rd season. What gets me is the realistic depiction of how even the kindest souls can become monsters like Walter does by the final seasons when given the fatal push
Hal from malcomn in the middle is a criminally underrated tv character. Cranston murdered that role. I'm in the middle of watching it and he CONSTANTLY impresses me with all the little things he does Utterly fantastic actor
I saw a meme with that picture captioned "The Death of Walter White" along witha picture of the final shot of the series when he really does die and it read "The Death of Heisenberg". I thought how appropriate that was.
He's an extraordinary actor who puts himself completely into the part. It's amazing to hear that this kind of thing happens. As difficult as it must be for them, it truly adds to the believability of the scene.
That was the funnily enough the most memorable scene for me too and I’m halfway through the seasons. He just seemed so torn and yet helpless, because he had already committed to his bad path, to protect his family. He knew he was going to watch her die, as if he were a prisoner watching. I thought part of his tears, he also kept for himself in that moment.
I feel that the scene with Jane is the most brutal death in breaking bad, more then gus sending his message, more brutal then all the executions, more brutal then hanks multiple attacks all of it. When you boil it down half of that money was rightfully Jesse's the only real reason he has to let her die is because he doesn't want to see Jesse overdose one day also but that's not nearly enough to let that girl die
You no what's crazy, Brian, as everyone knows, was a low key actor for years, and was never appreciated.......but breaking bad happend, and his role is seen as one of the best acting works ever done now........yet if he had never taken the role, he would have never have been this famous, he would still be the low key actor ......theres probably thousands of actors just like him that will never see the light of day
@@Yotrympagreed, but I am just talking about his role as an acotor, for sure they brought out the best in him.....but his role, his acting for second to none
@@Themozartthug The truly astonishing thing is seeing how different the roles of Hal, Walter, and Heisenberg all actually are. You may be seeing the same face, but you're *not* seeing the same person. Few actors actually accomplish this.
I hadn't heard of this acting technique, of writing down possible outcomes/feelings/motivations,etc. and now I don't know if I'll be able to perform myself without doing this too. Powerful advice from a tremendous actor!
There were many sad moments in the series but this one stuck with me. I just watched it when I was 16 and never forgot about it. Made me cry for a while. I rewatched the series just recently at 23 and goddamn, it was just like I remembered. The acting, the writing, it's perfect and devastating. If that wasn't art I don't know what is
I would love to see Bryan Cranston and Kevin Spacey in a movie together playing lead roles. Something like Face/Off but deeper with more meaning. That would be epic.
Just again fully watching the entire series now. incredible incredible series on all levels wonderful actors and actresses every one of them perfection
Let's not overlook the trigger here: Krysten Ritter's performance. The level of realism she brought into that scene is what allowed Bryan to react so convincingly. Great symbiosis at work on that one. That scene made me tear up too --- the only time BB made me feel anything.
@@oodjee I wouldn't call it mediocre as a whole, no. There are a lot of things I disliked about it (the direction drove me nuts!) but it was at least good enough for me to finish. Saul, Mike, Badger and Skinny Pete kept me watching.
There wasn't a scene that made me breakdown but my “did that just happen?!” moments was gus with the box cutter. For better caul saul, it was chuck cellphone pocket, and knocking the lamp off
Bryan Cranston is one of those actors I'd give nearly anything to be able to just say a warm hello to and shake his hand. Grew up watching malcolm in the middle and it's been amazing watching his recent climb to fame.
That’s rough. Too many parents have had to experience their child dying from heroin and it’s just one of the most heartbreaking things ever. I have a tough past and worked for many rehabs and although I’m outta that industry now, I still get calls and messages all the time from some parent I have some acquaintance with, just begging me for advice or help to get their child off smack. It’s often too much to bear.
Why no comment's😱 we Should all be saying how Badly we love bryan and how great he is bryan if you ever read this with i doubt but i really love you man(friendly) you and youre book make me a better persoon and you made me love my life
Bryan Cranston is one of the best actors of our time. He's subtle in his ways and relaxing to watch, yet brings to us the reality of what could happen in real life. We're watching his new series Your Honor which has us very tuned in. A must watch!
This is why I don’t think I could become an actor. Not because I couldn’t do it, I think I’d be great, but I anticipate that with so much reframing in your mind you’d have to do and truly adopting your script character as you that you’d have to do to be a good actor, I’m not sure I could emotionally keep my own sense of identity and grounding in reality.
Best show of all time, no doubt! Seen it twice in 2 years and I'd binge watch for a whole week right now! Incredible stuff. Miraculous! Will never be topped!
The scene that broke me was when Marie referred to minerals as rocks.
That was brutal. In a bad way.

The greatest actor ever! He’s all around perfect, he can be absolutely hilarious, can cry, make you cry & bring the intensity in scenes. He’s Leonardo Decaprio level skilled actor but better since he can also do comedy
Personally, what broke me was Walt's speech "I am the one who knocks". It was clear for me at that point that Walt's goal wasn't making cash for his family anymore, it was about him fueling his ego, his Heisenberg persona. He was introduced as a kind, seemingly innocent teacher, only for us to see the monster Walt becomes by the 3rd season. What gets me is the realistic depiction of how even the kindest souls can become monsters like Walter does by the final seasons when given the fatal push
Hal from malcomn in the middle is a criminally underrated tv character. Cranston murdered that role. I'm in the middle of watching it and he CONSTANTLY impresses me with all the little things he does
Utterly fantastic actor
I felt like the true changing point one Walt was when he was looking for his money in the crawl space and starting laughing historically
Seth Martinez hysterically
He officially hit rock bottom emotionally
I saw a meme with that picture captioned "The Death of Walter White" along witha picture of the final shot of the series when he really does die and it read "The Death of Heisenberg". I thought how appropriate that was.
or the "stay out of my territory" moment in S2.
He literally made history
99.6% Pure Emotions
He's an extraordinary actor who puts himself completely into the part. It's amazing to hear that this kind of thing happens. As difficult as it must be for them, it truly adds to the believability of the scene.
I could feel that emotion coming from Bryan. I know and have that fear myself about my own children. That’s something you’d never get over.
That was the funnily enough the most memorable scene for me too and I’m halfway through the seasons.
He just seemed so torn and yet helpless, because he had already committed to his bad path, to protect his family. He knew he was going to watch her die, as if he were a prisoner watching. I thought part of his tears, he also kept for himself in that moment.
I feel that the scene with Jane is the most brutal death in breaking bad, more then gus sending his message, more brutal then all the executions, more brutal then hanks multiple attacks all of it. When you boil it down half of that money was rightfully Jesse's the only real reason he has to let her die is because he doesn't want to see Jesse overdose one day also but that's not nearly enough to let that girl die
You no what's crazy, Brian, as everyone knows, was a low key actor for years, and was never appreciated.......but breaking bad happend, and his role is seen as one of the best acting works ever done now........yet if he had never taken the role, he would have never have been this famous, he would still be the low key actor ......theres probably thousands of actors just like him that will never see the light of day
I liked him as Hal
I liked him as Hal and Walt
It takes a lot to make a work of art. The actor is just one piece, but a valuable one.
@@Yotrympagreed, but I am just talking about his role as an acotor, for sure they brought out the best in him.....but his role, his acting for second to none
@@Themozartthug
The truly astonishing thing is seeing how different the roles of Hal, Walter, and Heisenberg all actually are. You may be seeing the same face, but you're *not* seeing the same person. Few actors actually accomplish this.
Understanding your characters motivations is absolutely key to give a good performance
He just became more focused.
The scene that broke me was when the fly kept escaping for the entire episode.
I always enjoy a Cranston interview! Thanks for sharing Bryan!
All these years later, I still remember his facial expression.
0:14 "Aaron Paul's girlfriend has a choking moment"
in bed
I hadn't heard of this acting technique, of writing down possible outcomes/feelings/motivations,etc. and now I don't know if I'll be able to perform myself without doing this too. Powerful advice from a tremendous actor!
There were many sad moments in the series but this one stuck with me. I just watched it when I was 16 and never forgot about it. Made me cry for a while. I rewatched the series just recently at 23 and goddamn, it was just like I remembered. The acting, the writing, it's perfect and devastating. If that wasn't art I don't know what is
I wanna know who he saw die while filming Power Rangers
Hahaha underrated comment
Il admit I don’t get it. Was she in power rangers or something
Bryan Cranston was the voice of Zordon in the Power Rangers reboot
His agent.
His future
That's how you know he's a good dad...I understand EXACTLY what he means.
God this man deserves all the Oscars.
I would love to see Bryan Cranston and Kevin Spacey in a movie together playing lead roles. Something like Face/Off but deeper with more meaning. That would be epic.
cun7us My two favorite cold blooded geniuses: Walter White and Frank Underwood :')
Saul And Kaiser SOZZAAAA
cun7us something like Heat with Pacino/De Niro
Alan Quintero Definitely. That's actually one of my favourite movies. The cop/criminal storyline could work well with those two.
cun7us i would pay to watch that...greatest characters in Television history.
This scene broke me when I saw it. Now I understand why, he is such a brilliant human.
Just again fully watching the entire series now. incredible incredible series on all levels wonderful actors and actresses every one of them perfection
That explanation of how he does his scenes shows us why he is such a good actor. He is definitely one of the best!
Let's not overlook the trigger here: Krysten Ritter's performance.
The level of realism she brought into that scene is what allowed Bryan to react so convincingly. Great symbiosis at work on that one.
That scene made me tear up too --- the only time BB made me feel anything.
the only time it made you feel 'anything'? As in, the rest of the show was so mediocre in your opinion?
@@oodjee I wouldn't call it mediocre as a whole, no. There are a lot of things I disliked about it (the direction drove me nuts!) but it was at least good enough for me to finish. Saul, Mike, Badger and Skinny Pete kept me watching.
@@ThisHandleFeatureIsStupid What kind of shows do you actually fancy?
@@cs4155 These days? Comedy only.
I enjoyed Narcos a lot though. Was super impressed with the accuracy & acting.
There wasn't a scene that made me breakdown but my “did that just happen?!” moments was gus with the box cutter.
For better caul saul, it was chuck cellphone pocket, and knocking the lamp off
Dang i have to rewatch this scene now. Bryan's interviews are always so great
Hands down one of the best actors of modern times
He did an amazing job on that show.
Bryan Cranston is one of those actors I'd give nearly anything to be able to just say a warm hello to and shake his hand. Grew up watching malcolm in the middle and it's been amazing watching his recent climb to fame.
Such a likable man and a gifted actor
He’s such a wonderful actor man and also a great person. Love you bryan cranston❤️❤️❤️
I'm glad breaking bad pushed him to the public as much as it did. Brilliant actor and a good man.
That’s rough. Too many parents have had to experience their child dying from heroin and it’s just one of the most heartbreaking things ever. I have a tough past and worked for many rehabs and although I’m outta that industry now, I still get calls and messages all the time from some parent I have some acquaintance with, just begging me for advice or help to get their child off smack. It’s often too much to bear.
Bryan ......Your acting telling this story . Awww.....he wants to cry still .
Why no comment's😱 we Should all be saying how Badly we love bryan and how great he is bryan if you ever read this with i doubt but i really love you man(friendly) you and youre book make me a better persoon and you made me love my life
I love that you had to specify your love as being platonic and not romantic lmao, you're my favourite human being today
Tibo De Wever (no homo)
He's just an insecure guy who is scared to come across as gay even on the internet
eyo das gay mane
He's a phenomenal actor with a heart.
Amazing acting, like one of my top favorite actors I’ve ever seen.
Bryan Cranston is one of the best actors of our time. He's subtle in his ways and relaxing to watch, yet brings to us the reality of what could happen in real life. We're watching his new series Your Honor which has us very tuned in. A must watch!
This is why I don’t think I could become an actor.
Not because I couldn’t do it, I think I’d be great, but I anticipate that with so much reframing in your mind you’d have to do and truly adopting your script character as you that you’d have to do to be a good actor, I’m not sure I could emotionally keep my own sense of identity and grounding in reality.
This is why type cast actors exist.
It's amazing seeing true actors talk us through their craft. Then you remember some of the people out there that dare call themselves stars
Bryan is great, now I know why I keep watching and re watching his work.
The scene that completely captured me and never let me go.
Best show of all time, no doubt! Seen it twice in 2 years and I'd binge watch for a whole week right now! Incredible stuff. Miraculous! Will never be topped!
This is why he’s a great actor
extremely interesting audio commentary in the box set
Bryan and Aron were amazing, just so full of emotion
I love this man! What an amazing human!
Jessie's "I'm the bad guy" scene really got me
Fuckin love this dude
"HEROINE INDUCED TRoubles..."
