I love this guy... Unbelievable actor in my opinion and my favorite character on Breaking Bad. Nobody can do so much with a scene by saying so little. Mike was bad ass.

On Jonathan Bank's last day of shooting (the episode where he dies) the entire cast and crew wore black arm bands in honor of Mike, and gave him a big picture of the cast that everyone signed for him. He was very emotional that day, and for an actor to be that in love with his work/character I find amazing. The actors in Breaking Bad literally BECOME these characters... they eat, sleep, and breathe the characters and it reflects in the work. BRAVO Mr. Banks. Goodbye Breaking Bad.

People have always been offended by something. 60 years ago, you would have to write letters to tv stations to say how offended you were, the internet in the early days you could blog about how offended you were, now with social media being what it is, it seems like everyone is offended. It's similar to the idea of how some people think the world is more violent but in reality the internet just shined a light on something that's been around forever. Same idea applies. In the early 90's people were freaking out that a gay dude was on a TV sitcom, now people get offended when they see a woman or a person of color taking on a lead role in a game or comic series that was normally lead by a white dude. So you'll get two sides of it; one side being offended by not having representation and the other side getting offended because the other side is offended and they don't agree with them. This shit had been going on for over 50 years, but the internet makes it seem like it's a new thing. Tech changes but human nature doesn't. We're just as big of pussies as we were in the 60's as we are now.

There's no way I wouldn't like this, as Breaking Bad is probably my favourite show and Paul F. Tompkins is my favourite comedian. But goodness, what a delight to hear just how enthusiastic and joyful Jonathan Banks is talking about his craft and his collaborators. What a cool, present person.

He seems like such a ball-buster. I love it.
