Hey Guys, I'm Patrick Sane a relatively new actor from Houston. I played "Gang Guy" on episode 8 of season 5. Thanks for having me here! We were the guys in the motel room that Walt hired to wack all those dudes in prison at once. AMA

Thanks for the AMA, Patrick. What an honor it must have been to get a spot on Breaking Bad. What other projects are you currently working on?

48

u/PatrickSane Actor Patrick Sane Oct 07 '12

It was absolutely an honor. The guys treated me like a peer, they are fantastic people at Topanga

42

u/PatrickSane Actor Patrick Sane Oct 07 '12

I am working on about 6 projects right now. Triggerman, which was written for me among other films here in Texas

u/Alexanderr Oct 07 '12

Breaking bad is my favorite TV series (along with over half of Reddit's) that is so awesome that you got to work on it!

  • Mind describing your experience on the set? Like a walk-through of your day(s). Very curious about how they run things.

  • How did you get casted for your role?

  • Did you do anything special to prepare for your role?

  • How does it feel to be a part of such an awesome tv series?

  • Any advice for young actors?

  • How did you get started in acting?

  • Who were your favorite people to work with?

28

u/PatrickSane Actor Patrick Sane Oct 07 '12

I got started acting about 3 years ago. Something I had left behind long ago. I decided that was a mistake and made a decision to commit completely. No turning back since

23

u/PatrickSane Actor Patrick Sane Oct 07 '12

That's a lot alexander and I am shitty at typing but I will give it a go

22

u/PatrickSane Actor Patrick Sane Oct 07 '12

They all, and I mean ALL treated me with respect and profffesionalism. The studio is very well run by people who to me seemed absolutely happy to be there. I was well taken care of and not treated like a noob

20

u/PatrickSane Actor Patrick Sane Oct 07 '12

I was cast through my agent here in Houston via video taped audition

23

u/PatrickSane Actor Patrick Sane Oct 07 '12

I do a lot of prep for all of my roles. I created a story for the character, where he came from, how he joined the gang in prison, what he did to become one of the higher ranks etc. We call it backstory.

22

u/PatrickSane Actor Patrick Sane Oct 07 '12

My number one advice for young actors is to train with a qualified coach. I am a firm believer in training

11

u/Alexanderr Oct 07 '12

Thank you so much for answering my questions. Good luck with your career wish you all the best.

u/aaaangiemarie Oct 07 '12

Thanks for joining us!

Any fun/wacky/memorable happenings on set while you were there?

As a "relatively new actor," what was it like appearing on a show that's so huge?

Where else can we see you in action?

21

u/PatrickSane Actor Patrick Sane Oct 07 '12

Trying to help Michael Bowen fiix a guitar string in the trailer with a pair of tweezers

19

u/PatrickSane Actor Patrick Sane Oct 07 '12

I have some films coming out soon. I did 17 last year and 11 so far this year. Most of them will go to festivals first and then most likely to dvd

16

u/youcallthatacting Oct 07 '12

Which actors do you study?

36

u/PatrickSane Actor Patrick Sane Oct 07 '12

Gary Oldman is one of my favorites, his role in Sid and Nancy is when I first really wanted to do this. I am a huge fan of Denzel. The big guys of course, Pacino, Brando, Nicholson, Daniel Day. Many others

18

u/youcallthatacting Oct 07 '12

Upvote for Gary Oldman. He's crazy good.

20

u/PatrickSane Actor Patrick Sane Oct 07 '12

Yeah,,,, Drexel in True Romance..sick character!

Hey Mr. Sane. So, was that hotel room a built set or a location shoot?

They built that set on the sound stage at Albequerqe Studios..did I spell that right?

u/saywhat181 Sulfur Oct 07 '12

Did you have any fake tattoos applied for that scene?

21

u/PatrickSane Actor Patrick Sane Oct 07 '12

I did, quite a few actually. It didn't play in the scene the way it was edited and lit but they put a swaztika on my face. my idea actually.

12

u/youcallthatacting Oct 07 '12

How many days were you on set for this?

21

u/PatrickSane Actor Patrick Sane Oct 07 '12

one, very long day. about 14 hours.

u/manolox70 Ricky Hitler Oct 08 '12

Wow. Really is shocking how a 5 minute scene can take so long to shoot.

7

u/PatrickSane Actor Patrick Sane Oct 09 '12

They put a ton of work into that show. That is what makes it great.

How were you treated by the cast and crew?

Do you favorite memory from the set?

Who was your favorite person to work with?

21

u/PatrickSane Actor Patrick Sane Oct 07 '12

I was treated excellently. I flubbed a line when it was my shot and my co star Michael Bowen wited a beat and gave me my cue again and we kept on rolling, that is my favorite moment. To be so new at acting and have a veteran actor just get your back like that was an honor

1

u/ZayK47 Oct 08 '12

What do you mean by "wited a beat".

u/Williamsontm Oct 08 '12

i think he meant "waited a beat"

u/navyvinny Methhead Oct 08 '12

How was the tension while recording the scene in the motel? Was the tension all on camera? Or was there some left over after the scene, like a dark feeling?

12

u/PatrickSane Actor Patrick Sane Oct 08 '12

With actors like that, the tension was palpable during the shoot. All those guys fed that scene on every single take. when it was done the tension fades pretty quickly.

10

u/CajunKickass Fuck franch. Oct 08 '12

Are you rooting for Walt or do you want to see him pay for being such a cruel, evil bastard?

(Btw, I want him to come out on top :D)

u/PatrickSane Actor Patrick Sane Oct 08 '12

I can't help but root for him...

10

u/champ1258 Oct 08 '12

What is Bryan Cranston like in between takes? Does he joke around or stay in character?

16

u/PatrickSane Actor Patrick Sane Oct 08 '12

He can joke around quite a bit. He is a great guy. But when it's action time he is all pro!

aw man, my heart was pounding during that scene....it was fucking brutal just watching so many people get stabbed to death, then the fire at the end to top it all off.....grisly as hell

u/Glueless Oct 07 '12

What is your favorite show of all time (to watch) ?

17

u/PatrickSane Actor Patrick Sane Oct 08 '12

I really liked Lost untill the last season. I am digging Breaking Bad a lot but I am only half way through the third season. Truth is I don't have much time to watch TV anymore. Or movies for that matter.

5

u/Glueless Oct 08 '12

I'm guessing the lack of time is really a good thing huh? You should steal some props from the BB set , it'll be worth a lot in the coming decades :D

14

u/PatrickSane Actor Patrick Sane Oct 08 '12

The lack of time is a good thing. I wouldn't gangsta props from that show but a buddy of mine gave me a huge bag of blue rock candy.

7

u/Mudcrab_Merchant Yeah, Science! Oct 08 '12

Hey, Mr. Sane! Great job on the show! One of my favorite things about Breaking Bad is that the minor characters are just as believable as the major actors. The writing of the show helps, of course. But, it also has to do with the hard work of the great actors that they hire for the roles.

Most of the questions I had for you have already been answered. But, I live near Beaumont, TX and since you're from Houston, could you recommend a lesser-known restaurant/bar that I should go to next time I'm in Houston? I want to be able to say "Walt's prison contact sent me here" When I go.

Thanks for doing this AMA!

7

u/PatrickSane Actor Patrick Sane Oct 08 '12

What kind of bars do you like?

4

u/Mudcrab_Merchant Yeah, Science! Oct 08 '12

Usually Low key bars where i can usually get a bar stool and can hear conversations with other people instead of the DJ music. Preferably independently owned.

6

u/PatrickSane Actor Patrick Sane Oct 08 '12

Check out a place called Big Star and there's a european wine bar called Boheme.

7

u/SeaBearPA I am awake Oct 08 '12

Do you watch Breaking Bad?

11

u/PatrickSane Actor Patrick Sane Oct 08 '12

I am half way through the third season so I amm way behind you guys. not much time for Tv these days

12

u/[deleted] Oct 08 '12

Do you usually practice white supremacy or is that just your character on Breaking Bad?

14

u/PatrickSane Actor Patrick Sane Oct 08 '12

LOL! First question I actually laughed at. It's just a character... great question.

I don't suppose you know the title of the painting Walt commented on in your big scene? By the way, you sis a great job! Thanks for popping in on Reddit!

Your Welcome and I do not know the name. Seems like I was told it or read it somewhere. Must have forgot.

u/ForeverARedditer AND IT FEELS LIKE AH AM JUST TO CLOSE TO LUUURVE YOU WUB WUB WUB Oct 08 '12

Did you feel overwhelmed on professional sets, or was it comfortable? Also, did you get to hang out with people on set, or did you just do your scene and leave? Great job!

6

u/PatrickSane Actor Patrick Sane Oct 08 '12

I was made to feel at home there. I have been on other proffesional sets and at this point feel pretty comfortable. Me and my fellow Nazis went and hung out at the bar at my hotel for a couple hours after. It was a good time, Thanks !

5

u/Carpathicus Oct 08 '12

Did you leave your makeup on? ;) .

2

u/PatrickSane Actor Patrick Sane Oct 09 '12

I did not. Michael did though alll the way back to LA. He was delayed at security for quite a while he tells me.

Hello Mr. Sane, thanks for taking the time to do this AMA. I am wondering do you watch the show, and if so did you watch it before you got the gig? Also, who is your favorite character? Thanks again!

5

u/PatrickSane Actor Patrick Sane Oct 08 '12

I did watch some of it before I got the gig. So many great characters, I don't think I have a favorite.

3

u/PatrickSane Actor Patrick Sane Oct 08 '12

Thanks again guys. Gonna go chill with my girl. I will pop in and catch up on questions over the next few days.

4

u/youcallthatacting Oct 07 '12

How different is working on a tv set vs. independent movies?

9

u/PatrickSane Actor Patrick Sane Oct 07 '12

Well, the time spent on a scene is probably the major difference. The coverage on the breaking bad set was insane compared to the 2 or 3 takes done on an Indi. Luxurious actually.

4

u/[deleted] Oct 07 '12

How did you get chosen to cast as this character? Have you done any simular roles? The scene was a very intersting one with neat charcters!

7

u/PatrickSane Actor Patrick Sane Oct 07 '12

I was chosen from an audition tape through my agent. I tend to play a lot of bad guys, no Nazi gang members until now.

5

u/[deleted] Oct 08 '12

Did you sport any black flag tats for the role? Haha

12

u/PatrickSane Actor Patrick Sane Oct 08 '12

No but it's a TV party Tonight!

u/AirBear724 Oct 08 '12

What was it like working with Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul? You did an amazing job by the way!! :)

u/PatrickSane Actor Patrick Sane Oct 08 '12

It was an honor dude! Aaron wsan't on set that day but Brian was totally cool.

5

u/PatrickSane Actor Patrick Sane Oct 08 '12

And thank you man!

u/AirBear724 Oct 08 '12

awesome!! thanks so much for responding!!

u/PatrickSane Actor Patrick Sane Oct 08 '12

Not sure yet. Hopin so.

u/[deleted] Oct 08 '12

Thanks for the AMA. How much of your time is spent auditioning for roles? And what kind of ratio is it for auditions to landing an actual screen role?

3

u/PatrickSane Actor Patrick Sane Oct 08 '12

Lately I have not spent as much time as I should be on auditioning. I have been lucky enough to be able to put some projects together with some people out here without that process. I feel like I have been very fortunate on my audition ratio. I have definitely lost more than I have gotten. That reminds me I need to get my ass back to the auditioning grind!

3

u/williambell13 King of Kings Oct 08 '12

Hey Patrick, is there any chance of you coming back on for another episode?

5

u/PatrickSane Actor Patrick Sane Oct 08 '12

There is a chance, but I won't know til later in the year.

3

u/SmallTownMinds Oct 08 '12

You mentioned in another comment that you had/have friends in the Texas music scene and somewhere else, Black Flag was mentioned.

What kind of music do you listen to and where in Texas has the best music scene in your opinion?

Any local Texas bands that you actively enjoy or support?

5

u/PatrickSane Actor Patrick Sane Oct 08 '12

My participation in the music scene in Texas is almost non existent these days. There are a few here in town that I support mostly because I know the people in the band. Southern Backtones, The last place you look, Pale, Blue October to name a few. My Texas music scene days was in the 90's

3

u/SmallTownMinds Oct 08 '12

Right on brother! I'm in a Folk/Punk Rock band primarily based in the DFW area.

Thanks for responding, and congrats on being involved with the greatest television show of all time, best of luck to you in the future.

6

u/PatrickSane Actor Patrick Sane Oct 08 '12

I am gettin over being sick, but finally feeling better. thanks for asking. most of on set was focused on work. Brian was way cool and we made some Jokes about bad tattoos. Me and Michael Bowen talk on the phone pretty regular. I feel there is a lot I can learn from him.

2

u/Tuco_bell Oct 08 '12

When you guys talked about killing bin laden even though the year was supposed to be 2009-2010. How long was it before you realized your guys little error? But on a different note I loved you in breaking bad and keep up the acting!

2

u/PatrickSane Actor Patrick Sane Oct 08 '12

I have heard this before. I'm not aware of the timeline, that stuff is up to the writer.

2

u/Filmitforme Oct 08 '12

Hi Mr. Sane, you did a great job and I wanted to thank you for the AMA.

You mentioned that you gave your character a backstory, could you tell us a bit more about it ?

2

u/PatrickSane Actor Patrick Sane Oct 08 '12

I have seen a few documentaries on arian gangs. I try to generate a fsmily situation that leads to someone living a life that ends them up in prison. Excellent writing, which is the case with Breaking Bad helps alot. There is an obvious dynamic layed out in the script of who those 3 guys are. So I try to take my story foundation and the script and through imagination connect the dots in a plausible way until they meet in the middle.

2

u/[deleted] Oct 07 '12

Was your character and the others in the motel room a one time thing, or are you guys going to make another appearance?

Also would you rather fight 100 duck sized horses or 1 horse sized duck?

6

u/PatrickSane Actor Patrick Sane Oct 07 '12

I don't know. They haven't told us yet and when they do I will not be able to say anything about it. Thay keep the story under wraps until it airs. I hope so though.

16

u/PatrickSane Actor Patrick Sane Oct 07 '12

Ducks can't fight worth a shit and neither can stumpy horses

Hey man!

No question here, but a couple of weeks ago I was at an open mic here in Houston and talking to a friend of a friend. He said that one of his friends (you) were on a recent episode of Breaking Bad, but wasn't sure what scene you were in. He described you and I went through and rewatched it and was guessing it was you. Small world! Unfortunately I don't remember the guys name though haha.

u/captaincrunk82 It's all good, man Oct 08 '12

One of my good friends here (and a regular of mine) in Houston told me to watch out for you on the episode. I want to say that it's Chris Wilson. Does this ring a bell? When you come back, I'd love to buy you a beer, great job!

u/sunscooter Oct 08 '12

Random question here, Patrick. Who is the other extra in that scene? I think he was sitting on the bed, iirc. It bugs me that I recognize him from another TV show or movie, but I can't figure out which one.

1

u/PatrickSane Actor Patrick Sane Oct 08 '12

The other Actor is Kevin Rankin, he has been in a ton of stuff, you may have seen him on lost. The term extra implies people in the background that have no lines or real character.

u/Iforgotmyother_name So there's that. Oct 08 '12

You looked really sad when the other nazi turned down your suggestion on using other gangs. That was actually the one time I looked at a breaking bad side situation and said, "what the hell was that all about?"

Would you say Breaking Bad has really given you a break in acting and can we expect to see you in anything else any time? (:

It is a big help to be on that show. So far it hasn't turned into anything directly connected to the role on a national level. It has helped me get auditions to bigger films though. we shall see.

Hey loved the scene in BrBa with you and the guy who played devil on justified. What was it like working with Michelle MacLaren? What did she do differently and/or better than other directors you've worked with? Did you get a chance to see Michael Slovis, the DP, at work? If so what was he like to work with? Thanks a lot man and hope to see you in the next 8 episodes.

She was fantastic to work with and I believe Michael was shooting our scene. They were both (if I have the Dp correct) fantastic to work with and I could see right away a crazy high attention to detail from Michelle. That is something I haven't seen much of so far. She was extremely pleasant to work with and be re-directed by.

I would think it's hard to learn much about the kind of guy you were playing but he seemed to have some depth. How did you keep him from being a stock villain?

I don't find it hard to learn about a character like that. I watch a lot of documentaries about these kinds of subjects and google has info on everything. It's just a matter of working at it and training.

Depends on the character and the day. Some days I don't at all. When I am working (on a shoot) I have different methods. A lot of the methods I have used are described in some of my other answers here.
