He bought the car wash back at auction for pennies on the dollar, then reopened it with a new name: A-2, where they launder your car. Not your money.

He also left his wife, but she got the eyebrows in the divorce.

My gut feeling at the time was that it was a dream. But I guess that I was wrong. What I loved is that for all of the people that "won", their life is still crap because of Walter White

Anthony Hopkins just binge-watched the entire series and sent Bryan Cranston the fan letter of all fan letters. It's truly a thing to behold:

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. [Ed note: There are in fact five seasons of Breaking Bad; this might have been wishful thinking.] (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.

"I think he was my brother-in-law. He looked like that guy from The Shield."

It's kind of sad how many of the YouTube comments totally miss the joke. Some don't know Cranston was on a show called "Malcolm in the Middle." The rest have never heard of "Newhart" and have no idea it had one of the greatest TV endings ever.

Not that anyone should expect intelligence from a YouTube comment of course.

Outstanding.

5 shows into Breaking Bad. Engaging and depressing at same time. Not sure I can
make it through 5 seasons. Might just watch last show and call it quits.

Any advise from BB experts?

You're about two episodes from being completely hooked. Give it time. It gets better as it goes.

I did all 62 episodes in this past month. It's a great ride. Stick with it. Great performances, great writing.
