    Bryan is one of those actors that you genuinely love learning more about. There's not one ounce of him that is trying to grab attention. He's all giving. A lovely human being.

    How can you interview Bryan Cranston and not see Breaking Bad? He's obviously a very dynamic actor with a lot of other accomplishments but it's sort of like interviewing Mark Hamill without seeing Star Wars. It's embarrassing, either do your due diligence or give the interview to someone else.

    Cancel culture is largely a myth, and it's a poor analogy for you to compare murderous zealots who revelled in torturing people to contemporary progressives. Tell me what has been the economic consequences of people being canceled? Is it possible that, "bad publicity is still good publicity," as PT Barnum might say? Your hyperbolic comments might be why you're getting replies like, "Ok Boomer." I've never said that to anyone because I think it's rude and unnecessary. Have a good day.
