Did You Know In BREAKING BAD…

In the show’s seminal first shot when Walter White is standing in his underwear anticipating a showdown with the cops, actor Bryan Cranston was given the option to wear sweatpants as the show’s creator Vince Gilligan was unsure Cranston would want to be so exposed in the scene. Thankfully for Gilligan, Cranston is the kind of actor who refuses to compromise in order to give his absolute best to a role, and Cranston happily wore only underwear for most of the shoot in the desert. Cranston believed that it would give his performance more credibility the more uncomfortable he was on set.
