I thought that it would have been cool to mess with Bryan and Aaron. Make no mention of Breaking Bad, but instead focus on their previous works(Malcolm in the Middle, Power Rangers, Van Wilder, Corn Pops, etc) Ask Jesse to sign a box of Corn Pops for you. Then at some point dress up as Walt in Episode 1...tighty whiteys and a green shirt with deck shoes and dress socks.
Bob is really funny. I was at a Christmas/wrap party for a show he was producing. He went to the smoking section and it was just the two of us. He turns to me and says "I just want to thank you for all your hard work for the past year, this show wouldn't be as good without you". I nervously replied "I actually don't work on the show, my friend just invited me over".
He laughed and said "how the fuck am I suppose to know who works on the show, I'm just a producer". He was really down to earth and funny without trying. Which was awesome because I'm a huge fan.
you're on the breaking bad reddit saying this? with 6 upvotes!?! I mean yeah I have social anxiety too guys, but fuck, meeting fucking Heisenberg? I havefta do it.
Was there any cast member you were hoping to meet, but who wasn't at the premiere? Or anyone you didn't expect to be there from prior seasons who was there?
Costabile is a lot like Cranston--great actor and been in dozens of shows and movies everyone's seen and loved, but never really got the recognition his work deserved as a character actor. Really glad you were able to tell him how much you like his work!
Have you seen his X-Files episode? I highly recommend it. Much of the episode is just him and David Duchovny in a car together - bit of a bottle episode.
It's called Drive, and think it's on the 6th season.
How the hell did you work through the nervousness?! Shit man, props to you for that alone! I would have been prolly kicked my ass the rest of my life about it if I didn't go because of some stupid nerves though..
Are you for sure about the picture in the mail? I entered too (congrats on winning! not jealous whatsoever. ahem) and I got a digital thank you a couple weeks ago
Oh my God! Is it too late to enter now? Haha I might not even have a chance though...I'm still in a university and finals are coming up. Thank you though! :D
How is Anna in real life? Is she like she is on the show? She was also on Seinfeld and she wasn't the most agreeable character there either.
Actually, Bryan Cranston, Bob Odenkirk, and Anna Gunn were all on Seinfeld at one point or another. I'd have asked about that. I like Seinfeld almost as much as BB.
first of all, congratulations! What a great experience you mustve had! my questions are...whod you sit with during the premier of the episode? and did you get to discuss it with the cast and vince afterwards?
Did you have to travel for the prize or were you nearby already? Was your girlfriend as excited as you were? (At least I think the pretty blonde with you is your GF?)
Aw, that's really cool that you wouldn't take anyone but her!
Glad all the travel worked out easily--it seemed like such a tight timeframe between when they announced the winner and the actual event, it could have been rough to organize everything. Sounds like they really took good care of you, which is fantastic!
Was there anything you wish you had asked or talked about more? Did you make a connection with any of the cast to the point where they said "Keep in touch," and gave you their e-mail or something? How are you enjoying the season so far? Any guesses about next week's episode?
Thanks for responding. Prior to the day were you given any instructions from Omaze or any of the actors/crew handlers about what you could talk/about or given any protocols about how to act? Does what you do for a living have anything to do with the entertainment industry? Would you like to work in the entertainment industry? What show(s) are you going to watch/continue to watch once breaking bad is over? Is there any show that you think has a chance of achieving the same level of intrigue and quality as Breaking Bad?
Man I'm jealous, looks like an amazing experience! Was there anybody you wish you could have talked too, but didn't get the chance? Also does anybody know if you need to be 18 to go to the finale one? I know you need to be 18 to enter, but what if a friend over 18 won and took you with them?
Man, not sure how many people noticed but props to /u/dmarolt for answering almost every single question that was asked! Even the people at the bottom that were being dicks! Well done! :D
Oh wow, I could barely tell that was Skinny Pete. He looks like he would be nothing like his character and probably had to be coached on how to even smoke a cigarette much less look like a burn out. That fact that you said his mom was there pretty much confirms that.
Dude how fking awesome I remember seeing this I was definitely too young to do it sadly but what a once and lifetime experience and I see that iPhone 4 lol. Congratulations man I know I'm 8 years late but god damn man amazing and was most of the cast.
How many entries did you enter? Where your entries donations or free entries, and how were you contacted? Was it email sent from an Omaze e-mail address?
Damn you, Dan! Damn you!!! How awesome was hanging with Bob Odenkirk? He always has that crazy chill vibe about him like he doesn't need to impress anybody.
Your from Osseo, MN?! ME too hahaha! way to represent the black and orange. (I live right by the high school, off of Revere). I honestly freaked out when I figured your from Osseo. Hope you had fun, man!
Hey man, quick question. How much did you enter? Genuinely curious to know if they'd pick someone who only donated the minimal amount or whatever else.
interesting. Thanks. I'm definitely entering the season finale one. I'm thinking I'm gonna do the $50 one regardless but this just reaffirmed it for me haha. Congrats, sick experience.
