As a die-hard fan of Breaking Bad, I must admit that seeing Bryan Cranston reprise his iconic role as Walter White for a New Mexico anti-littering campaign was both unexpected and delightful. It’s been years since we last saw him cooking meth and making life-or-death decisions, but it seems there’s always a little room for Walter White in the world.
Despite professing to be “done” with character Walter White on several occasions, has reprised his role as the meth-cooking teacher in the most unlikely of places – a New Mexico anti-littering campaign advert. Yes, the character that became a crime kingpin and was responsible for the murders of several people on and around the Mexican border is now telling the state of New Mexico how to clean up after themselves.
In a fresh spin on “Breaking Bad Habits,” Bryan Cranston returns as Walter White, delivering a stern warning to viewers: “Maintain cleanliness in my environment.” At first glance, these short videos might seem like spontaneous ideas or casual attempts to leverage an established brand. However, there’s more to it than meets the eye. The ads were actually conceived and helmed by Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan, ensuring that they are rich with nods to the original series, making this one of the rare instances where we will see Cranston reprise his legendary character once more.
Gilligan stated, “I hope that people viewing this advertisement will heed Walt’s suggestion and pause before discarding waste thoughtlessly throughout our stunning landscape. If not, they should be aware that Heisenberg could potentially take action against them!
Cranston explained, “Usually, public service campaigns rely on common sense and compassion. However, in this case, we took a different approach; Walter White embodies a unique risk within our message, yet it’s all done in a playful manner.
Bryan Cranston is Done With Walter White…At Least in a Serious Sense
The TV show “Breaking Bad” is often hailed as one of the best ever made, and a big part of this acclaim goes to Bryan Cranston’s exceptional portrayal of Walter White in the main role. While he has returned to this character in the prequel series “Better Call Saul” and various advertisements, Cranston recently announced that he’s concluded his time with the role. Regarding a potential return as White, he had previously expressed some reservations.
In the grand scheme of things, everything experiences a natural conclusion. Life, nature, and all its elements follow cycles. Just as there is a start, a progression, and an ending in every story, it is acceptable to embrace this pattern. I take pride in our accomplishments.
It appears as if Walter White has a niche somewhere in the world, and it’s possible that Bryan Cranston might resurrect this character if there’s a compelling reason – or perhaps even for endorsing a tasty bag of potato chips. Interestingly, he recently collaborated with “Breaking Bad” co-star Aaron Paul in a Popcorners Super Bowl commercial. Reminiscent of his previous ads, this collaboration seemed to delve back into the world fans knew and loved over the course of six seasons.
In a delightful twist, these light-hearted revisits to the realm of meth dealing, perilous cartels, and shady attorneys subtly hint at the universe of “Breaking Bad”, leaving fans eager for more. The thriving success of “Better Call Saul” demonstrates that a well-chosen character can captivate an audience, and whispers abound about Giancarlo Esposito’s Gus Fring potentially receiving the prequel treatment. Until then, enthusiasts will have to content themselves with revisiting the series, available for streaming on Netflix.
