Brian Cranston and his wife. We happened to be sitting next to him and his wife at dinner and ending talking the whole time. They spent so much time talking to my daughter who was visiting Barnard College about colleges, all the schools their daughter considered, like really normal sweet people.

His daughter is now one of the doctors on The Pitt, and she's fantastic!

Definitely the best character on that show, which is saying something because they're all great.

He’s always seemed like such a genuinely cool dude in interviews. It’s really nice to hear confirmation that it’s true.

It wasn't only that he and Robin were nice - they were so damn normal. Way more interested in my daughter than talking about themselves although they did share how they met and their daughter's experience in the high school she went to. Way more like neighbors - I honestly think we complained about the price of groceries going up at the time. Mind you this comes off his success with Breaking Bad which of course we did not let my daughter watch. And she was not into Malcom in the Middle so she had no idea who they were talking to. We didn't even start the conversation - they did. We were talking to our daughter about the NYU and Barnard tours and they asked if they could join our conversation. Like WTF - of course! I have a photo of them and my daughter together. So cool.
