Anthony Hopkins' letter to Bryan Cranston, after being impressed by his iconic role as Walter White:
“Dear Mr. Cranston,
I just finished a marathon of 'Breaking Bad'... I've never seen anything like it, it's brilliant.
Your performance as Walter White is the best acting I've ever seen... From what starts out as a comedy, it descends into a labyrinth of blood, destruction and hell. It's something like Jacobean, Shakespearian or Greek tragedy.
Thank you so much. This kind of work/art is rare, and when, from time to time, it happens, as in this epic work, it restores confidence.
You and the entire cast are the best actors I've ever seen...
You are truly a great, great actor.”
Regards,
Tony Hopkins
