L’attore geniale Anthony Hopkins ha scritto personalmente una lettera a Bryan Cranston, interprete di Walter White nella serie Breaking Bad, per congratularsi con lui della sua performance nella serie. Un evento abbastanza eccezionale nel difficile mondo della televisione e del cinema, reso pubblico da Steven Michael Quezada (aka Gomez nella serie) sulla sua pagina Facebook.
Nella lettera mandata dalla sua agenzia (UTA), un’informazione verificata da Buzzfeed, Anthony Hopkins loda la qualità del lavoro realizzato dall’intera squadra: produzione, sceneggiatura, attori e sottolinea l’importanza della prestazione di Bryan Cranston. L’interprete di Hannibal ha riconosciuto di aver scaricato tutti gli episodi su Amazon e di esser talmente preso dalla serie da aver visto tutte le puntate in sole 2 settimane!
Un riconoscimento in più per Breaking Bad che era già stata premiata tante volte dal pubblico e dalla stampa. Sir Anthony Hopkins concorda!
Dear Mister Cranston.
I wanted to write you this email – so I am contacting you through Jeremy Barber – I take it we are both represented by UTA . Great agency.
I’ve just finished a marathon of watching “BREAKING BAD” – from episode one of the First Season – to the last eight episodes of the Sixth Season. (I downloaded the last season on AMAZON) A total of two weeks (addictive) viewing.
I have never watched anything like it. Brilliant!
Your performance as Walter White was the best acting I have seen – ever.
I know there is so much smoke blowing and sickening bullshit in this business, and I’ve sort of lost belief in anything really.
But this work of yours is spectacular – absolutely stunning. What is extraordinary, is the sheer power of everyone in the entire production. What was it? Five or six years in the making? How the producers (yourself being one of them), the writers, directors, cinematographers…. every department – casting etc. managed to keep the discipline and control from beginning to the end is (that over used word) awesome.
From what started as a black comedy, descended into a labyrinth of blood, destruction and hell. It was like a great Jacobean, Shakespearian or Greek Tragedy.
If you ever get a chance to – would you pass on my admiration to everyone – Anna Gunn, Dean Norris, Aaron Paul, Betsy Brandt, R.J. Mitte, Bob Odenkirk, Jonathan Banks, Steven Michael Quezada – everyone – everyone gave master classes of performance … The list is endless.
Thank you. That kind of work/artistry is rare, and when, once in a while, it occurs, as in this epic work, it restores confidence.
You and all the cast are the best actors I’ve ever seen.
That may sound like a good lung full of smoke blowing. But it is not. It’s almost midnight out here in Malibu, and I felt compelled to write this email.
Congratulations and my deepest respect. You are truly a great, great actor.
Best regards
Tony Hopkins.
