As the creator ofBreaking Badand co - creator ofBetter Call Saul , Vince Gilligan may just be the telecasting industry ’s most wanted man ( in a good style ) . Earlier this evening , he took part in aReddit AMAwhere he said that no subject was off - limits . And he made good on that promise . Here are seven things we memorise aboutBreaking Badfrom the two - time Emmy winner .
NOTE : If you have n’t binge - watch all ofBreaking Bad , beware of spoilers ahead !
1. ON THE SET OFBREAKING BAD, BRYAN CRANSTON WOULD REGULARLY TELL AARON PAUL THAT JESSE PINKMAN WAS BEING KILLED OFF.
“ He be intimate to tease Aaron Paul mercilessly , ” explained Gilligan . “ This come about after I told Aaron Paul early in the serial that I had planned to vote down off his character . From then on , every time a novel script came out , Bryan would hurry to read it first so he could put on a sorrowful font and say to Aaron , ‘ Gee buddy , I ’m so sorry . You ’re going out with a bang , at least . ’ And Aaron , God bless him , seemed to fall for it every time . "
2. AARON PAUL INSPIRED MUCH OF JESSE PINKMAN’S CHARACTER.
Though Gilligan say that “ Aaron Paul very much fit the bill of my rendition of Jesse Pinkman from the get - go , ” he acknowledged that “ a nifty deal of Aaron ’s personality and goodness then became a part of the character of Jesse Pinkman as the show progressed . In other words , we the writers were pep up by Aaron ’s specific qualities as a human being , and we incorporate many of those qualities into the character of Jesse Pinkman . And we did this with all of the other actor as well — from Bryan Cranston on down . It ’s a fantastic matter about television , that you’re able to do that . You ’re telling one news report for so long that you have the clock time to line up the story , over many episodes and many seasons , as you learn more about your doer . No other spiritualist allows for that . ”
3. WALTER WHITE WAS THE HARDEST CHARACTER TO KILL OFF.
“ I have to say the destruction of Walter White affected me the most , ” acknowledge Gilligan , " because what it interpret was the close of the story and the windup of this seven - class journeying we had take together — the cast , crew , writers and directors ofBreaking Bad . That was the most affecting death to write . I actually teared up when I wrote it . I opine a close second was the end of Mike Ehrmantraut . ”
4. YOU MAY VERY WELL BE ABLE TO EAT AT LOS POLLOS HERMANOS IN THE NEAR FUTURE.
Gus Fring ’s fictional Gallus gallus marijuana cigarette may become a nonfictional crybaby juncture . “ Believe it or not , there is talk of a Pollos Hermanos becoming arealrestaurant , ” sustain Gilligan . “ This is not an idea that I generated personally . But it ’s one that ’s been presented to me , through the good folks at Sony , and the approximation came to them from a man of affairs who has an interest in doing just that . Speaking for myself , I ’d love to see that happen ! ”
5. GILLIGAN IS FLATTERED BY THE MANY INTERPRETATIONS OF HIS WORK.
When asked whether he think his work commence over - render , Gilligan responded that , “ The short answer is no . That ’s because I view people interpretingBreaking BadandBetter Call Saulvery nearly as the high form of flattery . However , I will admit that a corking many of the reading that mass have of both show require details and conclusions which — frankly — I never had in psyche . But my opinion is that these shows , once on the air , belong to you the lover as much as they belong to to me and those who roleplay and work on the display , so your reaction are just as valid as mine . ”
6. HE HAD NO IDEA HOW MANY PIZZAS FANS WOULD THROW.
In arecent interview withEntertainment Weekly , Gilligan addressed the fact that so many fan have visited the sign that impersonate as Walter White ’s mansion house — only to throw pizza on the ceiling ( as Cranston did so perfectly in one sequence ) . When demand whether the thought that fans would reenact the scene ever crossed his thinker , Gilligan reply , “ No , I never anticipated that the pizza - throwing panorama would be one of the ' non - submergible ' second ofBreaking Bad . None of us did . It seemed like a fun matter to let in in the episode at the time , but none of the writers of the serial thought it would take on a lifetime of its own . give thanks you for enquire that question , because it once again gives me the chance to say : for any of the folks who want to project pizza pie on the roof of the White house , it ’s very unfair to the sweet ma’am that go there . Please , please do NOT do it . If you want the photo of a pizza pie on the White house roof : Photoshop it ! ! ! That ’s the elbow room to do it in this 24-hour interval in eld . you may have any size pizza , and it wo n’t lay on the line this very seraphic noblewoman go against her back getting her ladder out and climb up to clean pizza pie off her roof . ”
7. HE’S NOT SURE WHERE HUELL IS EITHER.
When someone ask whether Huell was fine , Gilligan did n’t provide too many details , but did say , “ I think Huell is just hunky-dory . ” ( Hmmm … sounds like he ’s hiding something . )
