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?

If you were put in the same position as Walter how long would it have taken you to tell your wife? Perhaps you wouldn't?

I loved Breaking Bad and am so excited for your new film and book. Which has been your favourite acting role so far and why?

Mathnomica · 19/10/2016 12:50

My family were regular watchers of Malcom in the Middle and as my children are now older, they recommended that I watch Breaking Bad which I also thoroughly enjoyed. My question is this: I didn't recognise that you were the dad in Malcolm in the Middle and I have been mocked and ridiculed ever since. I think it must be because you're a fantastic actor whilst my children think it's because i'm starting to lose my marbles. Who is right?

Alfieisnoisy · 19/10/2016 13:08

I think you are an amazing actor. Which actor do you most admire for their acting ability?

PutDownThatLaptop · 19/10/2016 13:14

Be honest Bryan, have you ever stood alone in front of a mirror and said: "Say my name!" ?

SisterMoonshine · 19/10/2016 16:47

Haha PutDownThatLaptop, I wondered that about "I'm the one who knocks"

"Are you talking to me?" Are YOU talking to ME?" "Are you TALKING to me?"

We're imagining you writing this book in Walter White's camper van in the middle of the desert. Where did you do most of your writing?

Irishhooley · 20/10/2016 18:12

Have you ever been to Ireland?

StressedOne · 20/10/2016 21:17

Whilst working on Malcom in the Middle, and fulfilling every crazy task asked of you (i.e being covered in bees), a crew member asked "Is there anything Bryan Cranston won't do?", this later became "Is there anything Bryan Cranston CAN'T do?", therefore my question is: Is there anything BC cant do?

Am a mega fan of BC since Malcom, all the way through to The Infiltrator, and waiting for the next film release- I believe that will be 'Why Him?'

Thanks so much for your amazing work!GrinWink

Ellie1205 · 20/10/2016 22:54

If you had a choice which life would you have chosen to live of :Walter White or Hal?
And why?

LucyFuckingPevensie · 20/10/2016 23:11

Ok, does it have to be a good question ?
Errrrrrrrrrrrrm.

Sorry if it's already been asked on here (I haven't rtft) what do you think happened to the surviving characters on Breaking Bad ? Did Skylar fall in love and remarry ? What did Walt Jr do at college ? Did Jesse join the flying doctors ?

Bybbyeblackbird · 21/10/2016 07:17

What did you want to be when you were a kid?

Flanderspigeonmurderer · 21/10/2016 07:21

Who would win a fight to the death, Walt or Hal?

P.s The acting in breaking bad was the incredible, it has some of the most moving television scenes I've ever seen.

Having played both comedy and serious roles, do you have a preference?

Bryan, have you got what it takes to be a spy?

00100001 · 22/10/2016 15:15

affable that's a question that could only be answered with a "no" Grin

IWasBeingAffable · 22/10/2016 21:00

Well MI6 has done well recruiting via Mumsnet.....shit, I've said too much!

T0ldmywrath · 22/10/2016 21:06

Would you believe that when I first started watching Breaking Bad, that I didn't realise that you were Malcolm in The Middle's dad?

Radley1 · 22/10/2016 22:09

What fellow actor do you aspire to?

Toberich · 22/10/2016 22:51

Is Walt really dead ?

stealtheatingtunnocks · 22/10/2016 23:18

That pink teddy bear. I kept waiting to understand what the bloody pink teddy bear with the wide staring eyeball was about.

Great theories I had, about that bear, about how it was going to explain something staggering in the finale.

It was only ever bobbing, wasn't it?

mundoespanol · 24/10/2016 00:07

Why 'Tighty Whities'?

Loved everything you have done, especially 'Super Sweet 60!' - So hilarious! Cant wait for more of you work. Wink x

BrassMonk · 24/10/2016 01:01

in the spirit of Halloween- have you ever had a spooky, paranormal experience?
