Bryan hands down after Breaking Bad is the greatest actor on the planet,ive never seen so much depth and character arc before.

[@darkhorse1255]

Bryan, so humble. Extremely rare.

[@willshore2506]

Bryan made a superb interview inspite of a lousy interviewer

[@nunu7797]

I love how in the messed up world of breaking bad, the relations between characters (particulary the relation between jessie and walter) changes even from episode to episode

[@lavsheth9228]

There should be a Bryan Cranston on why he wanted to play Hal.

[@emp2304]

I luv how it shows how people have their values, their motives and their pesonalties. However we also have the darkest of flaws and reasons to why we do certain actions on a wide spectrum

[@humanbeing5300]

Bryan Cranston was born for this role and I can’t imagine anyone else but him in hindsight

[@ronakmankale9599]

This is guy is hands down is the greatest actor cuz the way he plays the characters like he himself is that character. Love you bryan cranston❤️

[@thetrax3482]

‘That’s how we are in real life’ so true he nailed it there

[@itsallgood2149]

[@ronakmankale9599]

I never hated walter white but i cried in the end

[@valerie0000]

Greatest actor of all time.

[@guacca]

Speaking to Ryan Cranston in person must be such a delight. What a profound and intelligent person she appears to be.

[@terrapinflyer273]

It only takes one bad day.

[@abhishekdey9717]

A Masterclass Actor ever I have seen in my Life 🙏

[@billybob4159]

“Anybody can become dangerous” 😳

[@skinnygirl10]

well said

[@jaycuthbert245]

He'd play a terrific George H W Bush. Not only is he a dead ringer for him but ALSO mr. Cranston has the acting pedigree and skill set to quite frankly play anyone convincingly. But unfortuntely due to him already playing LBJ I don't think he will ever consider playing another president and that's such a shame imho

[@AshPragasam]

Ugh this interviewer isn't even listening to the answers

[@gulyaswift1503]

Great actor
