man, can this guy express himself.
-
I think they wasted a interview with an inexperienced interviewer. Never engaged with Mr. Cranston, not a single follow up based on his answers. Still, Brian made it worth watching.
-
Such a generous presence. He puts all of himself into it.
-
I love this man. I could listen to him for hours.
-
This man is fantastic. This “interview” was unbelievably inspiring. Despite the terribly unexperienced interviewer who barely listened to his words, Bryan was able to make me dream and reflect upon my life through his words. A man of sublime culture. Thanks Bryan🙏🏻
-
How can Oxford university not produce a better interviewer than this? Damn.
-
You get a subject like him, you have to ask him more intelligent questions. He carried the whole thing on his shoulders. Then again, these are just kids. They'll figure it out.
-
In this Q&A Bryan tought a lot of wise advices for our lives. Defenitely he's not just an excellent actor, but an excellent human being too. So rewarding to watch this conference.
-
Came here after finishing reading his biography. He has quite the interesting life behind him and it made him very wise. I would love to see him talk more. And btw, his book/biography is really good. Worth a read even if you usually dont read books or biographies!
-
Bryan Cranston is a great life teacher.
-
I'm a simple man: I see Walter White, I click and like.
-
I have never heard an actor who had so many revealing thoughts and expressed them so well. Fantastic. He wants his audience to succeed and really cares about them. Expressing good and bad times in his life. Figuring it out and coming out on top. I love this actor alot. Thanks.

Bryan is the cool theater professor whose class everyone on campus wants to take
-
He is a very intellectual person! He talks the same way he taught his students in chemistry class.
-
I have a comment on the interviewer, which seems to get alot of stick from people. I think she was great! Seemed a bit nervous, but who would not be a bit nervous asking Bryan Cranston questions? The good thing she did, was to let him speak! Never interupted or wanted to steal the limelight herself, so great job! I really enjoyed listening to Bryan, an amazing actor and even better man! Thank you!

What a humble, intelligent man. Shit interviewer though Christ almighty.
-
I love his motivation for getting into acting, no high faluting ideals or claims of destiny, but a very honest answer 😁.
-
He's so insightful yet so real.
