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?

What's your favourite meal of today and what do you live to eat?

When can we expect to see you here in London in a West End Production?

twins2202 · 18/10/2016 00:10

Apparently the director of Breaking Bad didn't want you for role because of your role in Malcolm in the Middle. Did you yourself find it hard to transition or did you enjoy the challenge of proving people wrong so you wouldn't be typecast? Xxx

I understand that you became an ordained minister in college to earn money by way of a part time job. Are you a very religious man and are you still an ordained minister now or has that lapsed?

With your early degree in police science did you ever consider a career in either criminology or law enforcement and, if so, in what field and why?

miniplaty · 18/10/2016 09:31

I think we all have some 'Walt' in us....how much of Walt do you have?

Onceuponatartanshoelace · 18/10/2016 09:41

I have read that you enjoy playing drums, if you could perform drums with any band or musician who would it be?

Kym1994 · 18/10/2016 13:21

If you could have one dream come true what would it be and Why? Or are you living your dream being such a fantastic exciting actor x

dawnio63 · 18/10/2016 13:22

would you have liked to 'adopt' RJ Mitte...he seems a lovely young man!

georgiecurl · 18/10/2016 16:41

I haven't watched Breaking Bad. Why should I? What's so fab about it? Convince me!

Mipe · 18/10/2016 16:59

Given the convincing depths of depravity you excel in portraying, have you ever considered a career in the church? 😃

oaadc · 18/10/2016 17:06

My best friend and I LOVE Malcolm in the Middle - it's a tradition of ours to watch it as we get ready for a night out. Did you use anybody as inspiration for the character of Hal?

NauticalDisaster · 18/10/2016 17:10

Do you have any moral qualms that your first sexual experience was with a prostitute (in the book you state that it was as uncomplicated as it should have been)? Obviously you can't go back and change the past but do you wish you could counsel your younger self not to do it?

Larnipoo · 18/10/2016 17:25

Did you film any alternative endings to Breaking Bad?

Susangilley7 · 18/10/2016 18:03

What is your all time favourite TV programme?

RachC100 · 18/10/2016 19:23

peanut butter M&Ms or Reeses Pieces?

00100001 · 18/10/2016 19:25

Do you have to spell your first name out all the time because people spell it Brian?

Flingmoo · 18/10/2016 19:27

Do you ever feel fed up with talking about or being asked about Breaking Bad?

Is it strange watching Better Call Saul and seeing some of the same cast in a similar project?!

jolllyrebel · 18/10/2016 20:31

My daughter Lizzie, camped out to try to see you at the BAFTAs this year - and you passed her a ROSE! This was the singular most exciting thing of her entire teenage-dom to date!

Question is... When you were a teenager, whose rose would have rocked your world?

We love you 'Walt' !

Which of your roles have you most related to?

PeppaAteMySoul · 18/10/2016 21:43

Did you enjoy playing the role of Hal or Walt more?

torthecatlady · 18/10/2016 22:37

Hi Bryan,

My husband and I love watching you get your teeth into a variety of roles, you always deliver with such passion. Thank you for giving us many screen hours of joy!

My question is have you ever been the subject of mistaken identity, if so who have you been mistaken for?

Thanks! Tor Smile

SuzCG · 19/10/2016 09:21

How do you 'switch off' at the end of the working day from the intensity of the type of characters you have played?

Ladymuck9999 · 19/10/2016 09:53

Hi Brian, do you think early Walt White had a bit of Ned Flanders in him?

Candidcandycane · 19/10/2016 10:54

Are you still in touch with your 'family' from Malcom in the Middle?
