Q: Walt appears to have chanelled his former mentor/adversary Gustavo Fring. What have you been doing as an actor to prepare for that level of controlled, calm, intense presence that Giancarlo Esposito mastered with his yoga mindset? -- Dtapped A: Deep breathing is always a good exercise, but I'm a runner instead of a yoga exercisor.

One's the muscle, one's the brain -- and it's fun to play this guy who's become this badass.Q: How do you think Walter White would want to be remembered? -- Ken Wynns Continue reading "Bryan Cranston Answers Fan Questions (Part I)" »
