    I think they wasted a interview with an inexperienced interviewer. Never engaged with Mr. Cranston, not a single follow up based on his answers. Still, Brian made it worth watching.

    A man of sublime culture. Thanks Bryan🙏🏻

The good thing she did, was to let him speak! Never interupted or wanted to steal the limelight herself, so great job! I really enjoyed listening to Bryan, an amazing actor and even better man!

It’s kind of creepy how we idolize people so much that they aren’t even safe going out in public as themselves!
