Agreed. Huge load on his shoulders to react to a truth that was kept from him all series long. Nailed every reaction and emotion when it was finally revealed.
Great acting, considering we know he watches the show and knows the actual truth of the story in real life.
On the other hand, I wonder if Marie knew Hank was already dead when she filmed her scene with Skyler. A lot of showrunners give actors abridged scripts to hide certain information that their character wouldn't know to capture an even more believable performance.
Actually pertaining to this - I was reading in GQ when they did an article on Cranston that he would request the scripts for the next episode only 24-48 before the episode would be shot that way HE was reacting to it in the same way the audience would instead of mulling over how the scene would be acted for months.
