We’re a bit excited that next week we’re going to be putting YOUR questions to the legendary BRYAN CRANSTON, the man behind the enigmatic anti-hero of Breaking Bad, Walter White, as well as goofball dad Hal in the series Malcom in the Middle.

Post up your questions to this thread before the end of Monday 24 October and we’ll select a bunch of questions which we’ll put to Bryan next week during a filmed interview. We’ll upload the interview to our youtube channel the following week. Furthermore all those who post up questions will be entered into a draw to win one of two SIGNED copies of the Bryan’s newly released biography, A Life in Parts. What could be a better gift for a BB fan this Christmas?

tworonnies1957 · 17/10/2016 19:43

in films you tend to come across as been mean and scary ,how do children react to see you in normal day to day life

Lucretia12 · 17/10/2016 19:45

When you play a part, do you totally submerge yourself in the character you are playing and become them, or do you remember the whole time that you are 'only playing a part'?

HighTreason · 17/10/2016 19:47

Do you wish anything could of have worked out differently for Walt and his family on BB if so how?

Gunuph · 17/10/2016 19:49

What's your favourite line of dialogue that you've had to say?

ffon · 17/10/2016 19:50

How does it feel to have played one of the most badass characters ever and do people ever ask you if you actually know how to make meth? Grin

nishthefish · 17/10/2016 19:51

Did you influence walt's path in the script at all?

ZenMom · 17/10/2016 19:53

what impact has landing the role of Walter White had on you personally. Was it an easy adjustment and was it sown thing you ever had envisaged for your career?

Kriek · 17/10/2016 19:53

We love Malcolm in our house. It took me a couple of episodes of Breaking Bad before I could relinquish Hal! There is such a dichotomy between them. Which of those two characters did you enjoy playing the most and why?

Icklekazz · 17/10/2016 19:54

We have a saying in our house that everything in Malcom in the Middle can be related to everyday life. Have you ever accidently replicated a scene from Malcom in the middle in your own life?

PolarBearLover14 · 17/10/2016 19:54

From Malcolm's dad to drug dealer extraordinaire, which of your roles was the most challenging and which role did you love the most?

BennyTheBall · 17/10/2016 19:56

In this house, my husband and I went into some sort of mourning when Breaking Bad was over.

Did you miss Walter White and has he been your favourite character to play so far?

Amaksy · 17/10/2016 19:59

At what point did you think you've made it as an actor?

LineyReborn · 17/10/2016 19:59

Trump, Clinton or neither?

winkywinkola · 17/10/2016 20:01

Did Walter revolt you or were you so immersed that you could rationalise his actions to yourself?

TheNorthRemembers · 17/10/2016 20:03

My husband would like to know if you like chemistry in real life and whether you have ever owned an RV?

I would like to take the opportunity to thank you for all the hours we spent enjoying your films - not just Breaking Bad, but also All the Way and Argo.

amandajayne77 · 17/10/2016 20:08

What's your favourite line that you've delivered?

MrFMercury · 17/10/2016 20:12

What's the most common misconception about you?

To date what has been the pinnacle of your career?

jammy388 · 17/10/2016 20:19

What led you to produce the instructional DVD KidSmartz?

FoxInABox · 17/10/2016 20:24

Which character do you feel you have the most similarities to, and which character did you enjoy playing the most and for what reasons?
You are forever Walter to so many people- it was perfect casting! Could you ever see Walter being reprised?

ShouldHaveStayedHome · 17/10/2016 20:26

Is there a clause in your acting contracts that states you have to be either naked or in your underpants in at least one scene in every TV role you play?! Even small roles, e.g. How I Met Your Mother. Is there a reason behind this? Also why are they always always tighty whiteys?!

Lireal · 17/10/2016 20:28

Do you still see the cast from Malcolm and so you feel like a father figure to the kids?

bootygirl · 17/10/2016 20:31

what is the one piece of advise you live by?
