Emmy Winner Bryan Cranston On Location in New Mexico Razzed By Costars

Dan Mayfield in the Albuquerque Journal (with a hat tip to Liz in New Mexico, thanks honey!):

Things have changed on the set of "Breaking Bad" since Bryan Cranston won his Emmy Award for Best Actor in a Drama last week.

"He just sits in his trailer and polishes it. He touches up the Emmy more than his makeup," his co-star Anna Gunn, said. "He wants me to call him Bri-Emmy, but I refuse to."

Of course, Gunn was joking. Cranston, the star of the show and the first to win an acting Emmy for a New Mexico-made production, has a reputation for being the nicest guy in TV, and it shows on the set. He jokes, eats bagels with mounds of cream cheese and sings Bonnie Tyler songs with the crew.

He let all the cast and crew members take pictures with his Emmy earlier this week. He keeps it in his trailer and will pull it out at the drop of a hat, like a kid with a new toy.

You see, it would have been all well and good if Jon Hamm would have gotten the Emmy for Mad Men, but Bryan Cranston has been entertaining us for over 26 years.

And, honestly, I think that's why he got the Emmy. The voters have seen Cranston do a lot of things before, but he's never played anyone like Walter White.

(Frankly, I never saw Jon Hamm in my life until Mad Men debuted.)

Plus, doesn't he deserve something for listening to his TV wife scream at him for years on Malcolm? Just for the hearing loss he should get something, dontcha think?

You can see him in action on the show by clicking over to the Breaking Bad website at AMCTV.com and watching the pilot. I would bet before season two starts they will run the seven eps that they made before the strike last season. And it's also running right now on Sundays at midnight, so get the DVR working for another option.

Or, just lay off the Ambien. That's probably a good idea anyway. Wouldn't wanna wake up laying in front of the fridge with a chocolate cake smeared all over you face.

Or would you?
