Whats your favourite memory from making the show?
I loved the pilot.
Do you feel your characters storyline was short-changed in any way at all?
Would you have preferred a more involved arc, particularly in the last season?
I would have loved to have more of a bigger role.
But I think my character was important and everything came to fruition with him.
How it played out was perfect I think.
But it wasnt about my character, it wasnt about the family.
I think that tells more of the story of Walt Jr than people realise.
Would you have changed anything?
No, I loved the story.
I loved everything about it, how it played out.
I think it played out beautiful and I cant imagine it happening any other way to be honest.
I love the ending, I love the story, and I think its real.
How far are you willing to go to provide for your family?
And when do you lose sight of that family?
So as a fan you were pretty satisfied with the ending?
It couldnt have worked out any better.
We had a show that youll never be able to re-create.
It was lightning in a bottle.
How have you found the fan reaction?
Get anyone too intense?
We get fans of all sorts.
We have a very loyal fan group, and we couldnt ask for better fans actually.
They care, and they really enjoy and respect the work.
More and more people watch the show and truly enjoyed.
And on set, Bryan Cranston in particular seemed able to switch from darkness to joking around easily.
Was this important to alleviate the doom and gloom?
You should be able to enjoy what youre doing.
Is Vince Gilligan as nice in real life as he gives the impression of?
Oh dude, Vince is amazing.
Vince is the nicest person youll probably ever meet.
Its in all the characters, they all have traits of Vince in them.
Did you add anything to your character that wasnt in the script?
I kept my character spot on.
Im very open and willing to work with directors, what do you want me to do?
Where do you want this to go?
I found that they werent afraid to tell me, and I wasnt afraid to do it.
What did you learn most from working with the cast?
You know I learnt different skills and different ways to be able to perform and reach different emotional levels.
Do you look back at your performances in earlier episodes?
(laughs) I try not to look back at anything I do.
I avoid it like the plague.
I watched the first episode in every season, and the last episode.
So you couldnt name me your favouriteBreaking Badscene then?
Well its not so much a scene, but I loved the Pilot.
Its my favourite episode, it has my favourite scenes, and its my favourite place.
We very lucky to be able to create such an amazing piece of literature.
Im excited to see how it plays out, and Im excited to see what happens.
Its its own entity, and has nothing to do with our show.
And I think Bob Odenkirk will do that because Bob is an amazing character and has so much knowledge.
He has so many different ways of bringing things to life.
So apart from Walt Jr, you also played a disabled character onSwitched At Birth, is that right?
Yep, thats right.
So what I wanted to know was is it harder to play characters with greater disabilities than your own?
Was it difficult to learn to play this convincingly?
You know it is.
Do you think youve broken down any barriers facing actors with disabilities?
I can only hope that at the end of the day I have.
Whats up next for you?
Im in London taking meetings, pressing the flesh you know?
I think its turned out pretty well.
It was fun and we had a blast on two very different punch in of stories.
I would love to!
I just want to keep working thats my main goal.
I like good roles and I want to keep pushing forward.
Im always looking for roles to challenge me and ones which Ill enjoy playing.
(gets very excited) This is the thing, Im aTransporterfan.
I likeTransporter1,2, and 3.
Wow, the whole trilogy…
Im aCrankfan as well.
BothCrank1 and 2
Yeah, theyre my favourite.
Dude, Im a big Jason Statham fan.
I enjoyed… is it Dragonfly?
The one where he plays the guy with PTSD.
No, not Dragonfly…Hummingbird!
I thought that was a good one.
I love Jason Statham!
Then you are welcome to come and hang out with us at any time then.
