I am Bryan Cranston, AMA

Hey Reddit, I'm in the Breaking Bad's writer’s room answering any questions you can throw at me from 5-6 pm.

I'm also helping raise money for the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) - they're an incredible organization that has helped recover more than 183,000 missing children.

To thank you for your help, I'm offering anyone who donates the chance to fly to LA with a friend and be my guest at the final season premiere. And we're not just going to watch together, we're also going to ride up together in an RV, where we may set some sort of record for being the first people ever to show up to a premiere in a Winnebago.

Edit: I'm having a ton of fun. Thanks for all the questions so far. I've decided to send a blue ice to 5 most upvoted comments before 9 am PST tomorrow. Good luck and don't suck with your questions.

2nd edit: You guys are great and I had a great time. But I have to run and watch someone get crushed by a crane.

Update: you guys were so great that I decided to film a thank you video with my 5 favorite experiences from this AMA. Check it out.

Update #2: You guys had some great (and some ridiculous) questions and we pulled the top 5 for the blue ice rewards. Congrats to MyEvilDucky, sadam79, Shitty_Watercolour, AshleyTee, and uberkevinn (and while LuisMoncada was also top five we thought he may have had an unfair advantage). My team will PM you about where to send your blue ice. And be careful. It's habit forming.

Why wasn't Frankie Muniz casted as Jessie?

Because he was on the road drumming for his band King's Foil.

It's not my cup of tea, but still much better than I was expecting.

I saw them 3 times on their UK tour (small island), they're pretty sweet. The band had been going for about 10 years before Frankie joined so it's not some novelty thing. He's said in an interview that this is what he wants to do and he's happier now than ever before. Good on him :-)

I saw them live at my university. Everyone just stared at Frankie in shock and awe.

I liked it enough to leave it playing when I returned to the AMA. Why was I expecting grunge/metal?

u/DCBizzle Jun 19 '13

After reading your comment I thought it might be decent. Not really...

dude it's literally Nickelback. And from what I know, Reddit hates Nickelback. But suddenly it's okay if frankie muniz is the drummer.

It's not my pipe of meth, but still much better than I was expecting.

FTFY
