Sir Anthony Hopkins älskar verkligen Breaking Bad. Något som lyser igenom (rätt ordentligt) i hans mail till huvudrollskungen Bryan Cranston.
Dear Mister Cranston.
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. 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 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. Everyone gave master classes of performance. Congratulations and my deepest respect. You are truly a great, great actor.
Best regards
Tony Hopkins.
Jag håller absolut med Sir Hopkins. Breaking Bad är där uppe i toppen tillsammans med Mad Men, Sopranos, Boardwalk Empire, The Wire och Deadwood.
