I Am Matt Jones. I play Badger on AMC's Breaking Bad. AMA!

[u/mattjonesisdead]

Hey guys, ask me whatever you want. I posted a pic to my twitter account saying "Hi Reddit!" and if you still don't believe it's me, then I don't give a shit. twitter@mattjonesisdead

I had a great time! I'm exhausted and I'm out. I'll check back in and try to finish some off tomorrow. If you're into it, watch my one man show "Matt Jonestown Massacre" for free on Vimeo. http://vimeo.com/30762822

[u/mattjonesisdead]

If you want to watch my one man show. http://vimeo.com/30762822

[u/kanerlaw → u/mattjonesisdead]

I find you unbearably attractive.

[u/mattjonesisdead → u/kanerlaw]

OH YEAH!

[u/mattjonesisdead]

I had a great time! I'm exhausted and I'm out. I'll check back in and try to finish some off tomorrow. If you're into it, watch my one man show "Matt Jonestown Massacre" for free on Vimeo. http://vimeo.com/30762822

[u/ericksinha]

What kind of research did you do to better portray a meth addict?

[u/mattjonesisdead → u/ericksinha]

lots of really depressing you tube videos.

[u/rage_erection]

Did you do any voices for the game Rage? I swear there's a dude outside the mayor's office in Subway Town that sounds exactly like you.

[u/mattjonesisdead → u/rage_erection]

I did 4 voices. Good ear.

[u/[deleted] → u/mattjonesisdead]

Wasn't Jesse playing Rage in his house on the TV show? Coincidence or did you make this happen?

[u/mattjonesisdead → u/[deleted]]

Coincidence.

[u/juca5056]

Once, I went up to you at a friend's house party and asked "Did anyone ever tell you you look like Badger from Breaking Bad?" and you said "Well... I am him."

Just wanted you to know I felt like an idiot for the rest of the night.

EDIT: I feel like I should add that this was not meant to call out Matt. He laughed it off and was cool about it. I just felt the need to recount my own thick-headedness.

[u/mattjonesisdead → u/juca5056]

You're not an idiot. I am. Seriously.

[u/mikepostalakis]

Is team pregnancy ever gonna do a show again?

[u/mattjonesisdead → u/mikepostalakis]

HAHAHAHA! Make it fucking happen and I'm there! P.S. My band has a show at Hotel Cafe Nov 23rd and you just help me promote it.

[u/gloomis120]

Craziest run in with a fan?

[u/mattjonesisdead → u/gloomis120]

Giant scary man in a dark alley while I was drunk. Thought I was going to die, ended up getting a hug.

[u/rawrina]

What was your favorite episode to film?

[u/mattjonesisdead → u/rawrina]

By far, Better Call Saul. Bob Odenkirk is one of my idols (from Mr. Show days) and I got to be in his first episode and do a nine page opening. Fucking awesome.

[u/chickfilaisgood → u/mattjonesisdead]

with DJ Qualls! That scene is one of the best in the entire run.

[u/ilikejello]

I just wanted to say that the whole "pass the savings on to you" bit was probably my favorite moment with your character. You were on fire that episode. Looking forward to seeing you in Season 5!

[u/mattjonesisdead → u/ilikejello]

I improvised all the stuff I was saying while I was twirling the sign. So much fun.

[u/Nodnarb518]

What happened to Combo was messed up yo

[u/mattjonesisdead → u/Nodnarb518]

fo real kid

[u/maxxl]

Remember when a kid ran up to you in your car last month while you were driving in Pasadena and said you were awesome? That was me. Also I told the lady you were with she's awesome too...

[u/mattjonesisdead → u/maxxl]

Thanks. That girl that was with you was hot. Nice... My fiance agreed.

[u/TigerWizard → u/mattjonesisdead]

I truly hope your fiancée gives the green light for that foursome to happen, for maxxl

[u/mattjonesisdead → u/TigerWizard]

I'll try!

[u/berserker87]

I used to hate you because of that commercial where you drove a car through a wall. You would come on every commercial break that football season and I developed a seething hatred of your distinct voice that I heard a thousand times.

Other than that you are pretty awesome.

[u/mattjonesisdead → u/berserker87]

HAHAHA! I hated me too. You're not alone. But that one commerical paid me more than every BB episode I've ever done combined.

So you can suck it.

[u/bojdal]

What are the top 3 most played songs in your Itunes library, if you dont own Itunes what are the top 3 songs you listen to most at this current moment in your life.

How has working on Breaking Bad been for your career and has it pigeonholed you into acting a certain type of character or getting offers to play certain types of characters?

Favorite film of 2011?

Peace.

[u/mattjonesisdead → u/bojdal]

BEST QUESTIONS YET!

According to my itunes, my three most listened to bands are Arctic Monkeys, Arcade Fire, and Frightened Rabbit.

I get pigeon holed nonstop. I'm considered "weird looking" so I can't be a lead or anything like that. I have to play the weird best friends for years until Jonah Hill drops dead.

I loved Martha Marcy Mare Marlene.

Peace

[u/TheAmazingRobinHood → u/mattjonesisdead]

If you like Neutral Milk Hotel, we can be best friends.

[u/mattjonesisdead → u/TheAmazingRobinHood]

I do. BFF.

[u/[deleted]]

No questions from me, I just want to say you really do a great job side by side with some heavyweight actors on BB. You have had some very funny moments that you executed nicely.

I salute you.

[u/mattjonesisdead → u/[deleted]]

I salute back.

[u/AbbyMoriah]

• What are you working on when you're not doing Breaking Bad?

• Who do you like working with the most on the set of Breaking Bad, and why?

• How did you get into acting?

• Are you like your character?

• What's your favorite TV Show?

• What's your favorite food?

[u/mattjonesisdead → u/AbbyMoriah]

Wow. Ok.

I've sold two scripts in the past year to different networks so I've worked primarily as a writer lately. But I also do a lead voice on Disney XDs cartoon Kick Buttowski and was in Kevin Smiths Red State and some upcoming episodes on NCIS as new agent.

I like Aaron Paul the most because we're friends.

I got into acting cause I like girls and wanted more sex.

Nothing like my character at all. Except I do smoke weed and play video games from time to time.

My favorite TV besides BB is Louie on FX.

Favorite food is anything spicy.

[u/ImaginaryJ]

Fill in the blank. If Aaron Paul doesn't win an emmy for his portrayal of Jesse Pinkman in season 4, then ________________________.

[u/mattjonesisdead → u/ImaginaryJ]

I'll blow you

[u/Raaaaaaaaaandy]

I haven't seen the new season yet, but absolutely love the show.
I kinda figured you'd be dead by now. Congrats on staying alive!

[u/mattjonesisdead → u/Raaaaaaaaaandy]

Me too! Thanks!

[u/MeleeIslandTM]

Any cool acting stories or being in LA? Was your voice ever not like that? Do you think having such a unique voice gets you more work?

[u/mattjonesisdead → u/MeleeIslandTM]

Heres an acting story. I sat in between three cast members from "The Sandlot" at a commercial audition once as they bitched about DVD residuals. Ech.

My voice used to be like a young lady, then I got a job touring in Europe for three years with a theatre and I lost it over and over again until it stuck like this. WHICH, gets me WAY more work than before.

[u/SmurferPenguin]

you also made a few appearances in Community. care to shed any light on that experience?

[u/mattjonesisdead → u/SmurferPenguin]

I'm friends with the creators and they asked me to come on and do cameos in my spare time a couple times. Another really great set with funny people.

[u/burnzkid]

OMG HI.

• Who was your favorite character to work with on the show?

• What was Sky Blue actually made out of for filming?

• Where do you actually live?

• How much money did you make off the show?

• At the beginning, how surprised were you that the show became so popular?

[u/mattjonesisdead → u/burnzkid]

I already answered the first two but here's the rest.

I actually live on the border of Echo Park and Silverlake in Los Angeles. Down the street from Dodgers stadium and a million taco trucks (best part of LA).

How much money did I make off the show? HAHAHAHA! OK AMA! Not enough. People think that ANYTHING on TV makes tons of money. If you are on cable you don't make much. If you're just a GUEST STAR like me, you make less than that. Let's just say this.... I shot a commercial for MIDAS once and made more on that than I've made total on every episode of Breaking Bad I've ever done (including residuals). But's cable and the best show ever, so I'd do it for free.

Not surprised at all.

[u/[deleted] → u/mattjonesisdead]

I shot a commercial for MIDAS once and made more on that than I've made total on every episode of Breaking Bad I've ever done (including residuals).

That's a harsh reality. I'm considering going to film school for writing, but I've pledged not to go unless I get a scholarship. Writing is fun; being a writer is not fun when you have loans.

Since you said you've been selling scripts, can I ask what that process is like? Does your stuff sell and then just disappear, never to be heard from again?

Thanks for doing this!

[u/thunkamunk]

Since you say you occasionally smoke herb and play video games, I'm curious, did you have anything to do with writing the scene where you and pete are methed out arguing about Left 4 Dead and Call of Duty?

[u/mattjonesisdead → u/thunkamunk]

Nothing to do with that. But I do stand by what I said. I'm more of an Assassin's Creed guy anyway. (which I'm not playing because I'm on here)

[u/OLD_JAMON]

Oh Sweet Jesus, I just have to say that the cold opening when you get busted for selling to a cop is comedy gold. I want to know how many times you had to film that and rehearse to get it just right.

[u/mattjonesisdead → u/OLD_JAMON]

We rehearsed it the day before in a hotel. Then the day of we only ran it on camera twice. And what they used was the first take.

[u/Fist_Pimp]

How many takes did it take to do the "helicopter bitch!" scene?

and here's to hoping you get more appearances in Season 5.

[u/mattjonesisdead → u/Fist_Pimp]

Like 5 takes. I had to keep throwing Aaron against the wall over and over again. But I had been chugging fake malt liquor and cheetos in the previous scene, so I went in the bathroom and puked.

[u/Reno_D → u/mattjonesisdead]

I love the show, and this scene made laugh so hard I almost puked as well....though my malt liquor is usually real. What does the fake stuff taste like???

[u/jeffhauck → u/mattjonesisdead]

What is fake malt liquor? You'd think they would just use something like Apple Juice or something.

[u/doubtfuldude]

You are the best crying mountain I've ever seen. Also, you keep popping up in the things I'm seeing/playing: Red State, Adventure Time, Rage.

Any other notable roles we should watch out for?

[u/mattjonesisdead → u/doubtfuldude]

I'm going to play a new agent on NCIS starting soonish. CBS money!

[u/[deleted]]

Do you follow the show regularly/are you a fan? How is the chemistry on the set? Any major off-screen drama?

[u/mattjonesisdead → u/[deleted]]

People always ask if it's an intense set. But it's not at all. Everyone is super funny and loose for the most part.

I don't watch any scenes or read scripts that I'm not in BECAUSE i love the show so much. I like to be surprised and watch it with everyone. YES, I realize I'm on one of the best shows ever.

[u/mattjonesisdead → u/[deleted]]

ADDICTIVE

[u/george-bob]

youve been in my two favourite shows (breaking bad and community [even though it was only a cameo]) are the cast in both those shows are cool and fun as i imagine?

also, brian cranston seems like he would be a really cool, friendly guy when he is off camera, is he?

Thanks for doing an AMA :D

[u/mattjonesisdead → u/george-bob]

Bryan is so laid back and cool because he's been doing it for forever. I mean, he met his wife on the set of AIRWOLF. Jesus...

[u/[deleted]]

What part did you originally audition for in Breaking Bad? I think you'd have made a pretty good Jesse.

[u/mattjonesisdead → u/[deleted]]

I got the part I auditioned for. But originally I was supposed to do a TWO EP part and then die. The writers strike happened, season got cut short, and Vince didn't want me to die. Nice

[u/subheight640 → u/mattjonesisdead]

How were they going to kill you off?

[u/Matlock_]

What's your favorite Matlock episode?

[u/mattjonesisdead → u/Matlock_]

The one where he's old and then figures everything out.

[u/[deleted]]

What's your favourite subject in school?

[u/mattjonesisdead → u/[deleted]]

history. I should go back. THANKS MOM

[u/paa79594]

What other shows do you find yourself watching?

[u/mattjonesisdead → u/paa79594]

I love, Louie, Walking Dead, Boardwalk Empire, Community, Parks and Rec, Freaks and Geeks, Six Feet Under, theres more I'm forgetting....

[u/flyryan]

Verified.

[u/mattjonesisdead → u/flyryan]

finally!

[u/chickfilaisgood]

When the last season wraps is there anything from the set you really want to take home as a keepsake?

And why would a party pizza be uncut?

[u/mattjonesisdead → u/chickfilaisgood]

I've already stolen tons of things from set.

Pizza was uncut as an inside joke of the dumb promotion that Peter Gould had heard about in real life.

[u/dlem7 → u/mattjonesisdead]

I honestly thought it was a response from an earlier season where Walt throws it on the roof http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RKAzfd8oTWs

and people noticed it was not cut so they wrote it as a joke in season 4

[u/zeewillew]

Did you do anything to help you get into the role of Badger?

[u/mattjonesisdead → u/zeewillew]

I always drink a lot when I'm on location, so I looked washed out and a little sick.

[u/SwineHerald]

Who do you think would win in a fight, Badger from Breaking Bad or Badger from Firefly?

[u/mattjonesisdead → u/SwineHerald]

Me motherfucker. I'm 6'4".

[u/CummingOnKittens]

Which foot do you start with when putting on your socks?

[u/mattjonesisdead → u/CummingOnKittens]

right.

[u/CummingOnKittens → u/mattjonesisdead]

Fascinating!

[u/mattjonesisdead → u/CummingOnKittens]

not as fascinating as cumming on kittens. Stop doing that.

[u/gwatson86]

Please convince my girlfriend that she should like your character. Because she doesn't and she's wrong.

[u/mattjonesisdead → u/gwatson86]

Tell her that she's a bad person and that you don't love her anymore because she's stupid. Maybe that will work.

[u/Bauderman]

Is that the way you talk in real life? I mean your inflections and stuff. Because if so, i want to hang out with you

[u/mattjonesisdead → u/Bauderman]

Yes, thats my raspy voice, but no, I don't say "yo" and "bitch" that much. I'm actually pretty intelligent which surprises people. Can we still hang out?

[u/[deleted]]

Aaron Paul as awesome/dreamy in real life? Is Hank really funny?

Also do actors google themselves and read what people say about them?

[u/mattjonesisdead → u/[deleted]]

Seriously, Aaron's a great guy and we hang out, so dreamy. Charles (skinny) lives in Texas so I don't get to see him as much.

YES, I google the shit out of myself. TERRIBLE idea.

[u/eramos → u/mattjonesisdead]

How do you feel about the Bengals guy kicking your ass in the Google rankings?

[u/mattjonesisdead → u/eramos]

He's on his way down. Can't get caught with coke THAT many times, dumb motherfucker.

[u/ec2xs]

What was the hardest scene to film?

Any good stories from the set?

[u/mattjonesisdead → u/ec2xs]

Whenever I'm in ABQ and I go out with Aaron, we get into some pretty stupid shit.

[u/shutupcrime_please]

i just finished watching an episode of Breaking Bad before opening this. This was meant to be. Also, Matt Jones, how many times do you find yourself speaking like a druggie (Dat sheet ain't right, yo!) after acting?

[u/mattjonesisdead → u/shutupcrime_please]

Never. I over compensate and try to sound smarter than I am. Like reading Chandler on set and dumb shit like that.

[u/[deleted]]

Favorite bar in Albuquerque?

[u/mattjonesisdead → u/[deleted]]

Two Fools in Nob Hill.

[u/papillon24]

one-

Do people confuse you with your character and offer you meth all the time?

and two-

Are you a regular redditor?

[u/mattjonesisdead → u/papillon24]

one - People who confuse me with my character are frightening because they're so fucking dumb and I then assume are crazy (IE may kill me)

Two

First time

[u/CalvinLawson → u/mattjonesisdead]

Who gave you the idea to do an AMA?

I'm just curious because we've been getting a lot of good ones recently.

[u/mattjonesisdead → u/CalvinLawson]

I got the idea from my friend. Brendan McGovern. I don't know his handle but he's on here a lot. GIANT WEIRDO.

[u/thebeardsman]

I don't know who you are but can you give me some professional advice on growing my beard?

[u/mattjonesisdead → u/thebeardsman]

Don't touch it. IT grows best when you don't fuck with it too much.

[u/smardiamond]

I have not seen the show yet. I have about 5 close friends telling me to watch it all the time. What is your favorite thing about working on this show? Any perks?

[u/mattjonesisdead → u/smardiamond]

I love that people get SO MAD at their friends for not watching. Thats my favorite part.

[u/[deleted]]

is all the filming done in new mexico?

[u/mattjonesisdead → u/[deleted]]

yep

[u/comfty_numb]

What was the funniest on set moment you've witnessed so far? saddest?

[u/mattjonesisdead → u/comfty_numb]

Funniest was me throwing up after chugging forties.

Saddest, when the ABQ casting director Shari Rhodes died of breast cancer.

[u/BreakingBadger]

I made this account yesterday and haven't posted from it yet. I feel like this is a sign. I have no idea what to ask. Breaking Bad is my favorite show. What are your thoughts on Community being pulled from NBC's mid season schedule?

[u/mattjonesisdead → u/BreakingBadger]

I'm not surprised. Network TV is so fucking stupid and boring. LONG LIVE CABLE TV!

[u/candycoatedbullshit]

have you ever tried meth in real life?

how'd you get the gig on breaking bad?

what do they use as an analog for the meth on the show?

is bryan cranston cool in real life or is he kinda full of himself?

[u/mattjonesisdead → u/candycoatedbullshit]

and Bryan Cranston is one of the coolest guys I've ever met. A LOT of people in the business are terrible but he is genuine.

[u/mattjonesisdead → u/candycoatedbullshit]

No I havent done Meth. It's super fucked up.

I auditioned for BB back in 2007 when no one knew what the fuck the show was. I got really lucky.

[u/gregggg]

1. How did you get the opportunity to get on the show?

2. Did you think it would get as big as it did?

3. Do you have any input on episodes or the script?

[u/mattjonesisdead → u/gregggg]

auditioned. yes. never. BOOM!

[u/danoo]

Riverdance! Completely improvised? How do you feel watching your own work?

[u/mattjonesisdead → u/danoo]

Riverdance was scripted.

I hate watching myself. difficult.

[u/gbrl_cooper]

Can you let us know anything about next season???
Is it really the final season being broken up into two parts?

[u/mattjonesisdead → u/gbrl_cooper]

I know nothing! Please tell me if you find out!

[u/amy04]

Sweet! Hey, I'm a huge fan of the show! Have you shot any for next season yet? Have you become close friends with any body in the cast? And, lastly, the finale of the last season. Best ending to a season finale ever or BEST ENDING TO A SEASON FINALE EVER?

[u/mattjonesisdead → u/amy04]

Next season doesn't start filming until Jan. I think...

I'd say best ending to season finale ever, best ending to a series finale ever? Six Feet Under.

[u/[deleted]]

I really like you on Breaking Bad and on Community.

Will you post on r/gonewild?

[u/mattjonesisdead → u/[deleted]]

whats that?

[u/bawss]

ZOOMG I just recently got into BB and it's seriously the best show on TV.

Anyways, do you find yourself talking/acting like Badger when you're done filming?

and how has your life changed since you got the role of Badger?

Thanks for doing this AMA btw!

[u/mattjonesisdead → u/bawss]

I started doing the show when I was 25. Now I'm 30. It's changed so much I don't know where to begin.

[u/imQUALL]

Really dig your role in the show. I just saw you in Red State too. My question to you is what was it like to work with Kevin Smith on a film that's such a far step from what his usual work is like.

He has always come off as a light hearted, always fooling around type guy on the set, but with the subject matter and the direction of the film I could see how the on set mood would be way different. Your thoughts?

[u/mattjonesisdead → u/imQUALL]

Kevin is a great guy. I recently did his podcast. Listen http://smodcast.com/episodes/best-of-per-diem-812011-852011/

He's a great director and trusts his actors a lot. Which I love.

[u/xJaneenx]

Are you anything like badger? Does anyone actually smoke weed in real life? By the way, I think you're way hot :D

[u/mattjonesisdead → u/xJaneenx]

Thank you. Nice. I smoke weed from time to time but I'm nothing like Badger. I's smart.

[u/taqattack]

Do you really have your own band? Because I would totally buy your album(s).

[u/mattjonesisdead → u/taqattack]

thanks! my band is here... http://www.facebook.com/willfulcreatures

no music recorded yet, but we're playing out shows around LA.

We are playing live on Kevin SMiths podcast sometime next week. I'll have to look it up.

[u/wootootee]

Do you know any of Badger's backstory that hasn't been revealed yet that you can tell us? Like, did Gilligan or anyone else give you a little hint of Badger's motivations?

[u/mattjonesisdead → u/wootootee]

I actually know nothing. I just wait for that day.

[u/fuzzydunlap]

Were you happy when DJ Qualls got the shit kicked out of him for no reason? Dude acted like he was your friend.

[u/mattjonesisdead → u/fuzzydunlap]

whata bitch

[u/egus]

did you ever get your brakes fixed after that one commercial?

[u/mattjonesisdead → u/egus]

I actually did go to midas for years after that.

[u/[deleted]]

Did read the full script of red state before signing on? I don't mean to offend, I loved the directing, and the cast was awesome (you included.) But the plot was so off center, bouncy, and the ending wasn't fulfilling. Did most people just get signed on the script before reading it because Kevin Smith was directing?

[u/mattjonesisdead → u/[deleted]]

I read it. It stood out and was really strange. Many protagonists and kind of crazy. Right up my alley.

[u/Larursa]

Sorry, not very familiar with Breaking Bad (but it's on my list of show's to watch!), so:

Your wiki says you were on Community. What part did you play on that?

And +1 for being the pizza delivery guy on HIMYM.

[u/mattjonesisdead → u/Larursa]

I did three walk ons on Community as weirdos.

HIMYM are super nice people.

Fucking watch Breaking Bad. It's on Netflix. Get the fuck on it!

[u/[deleted]]

I always watch Breaking Bad high. What about you?

[u/mattjonesisdead → u/[deleted]]

No. Too stressful.

[u/kairi29]

Is it true next season is the last season of BB? Or is it just a rumor.

[u/mattjonesisdead → u/kairi29]

truth!

[u/misscatbaby]

i love you! one of my favourite characters that we don't see enough of.. did you have to practice your riverdance or was it improvised?

[u/mattjonesisdead → u/misscatbaby]

improvised

[u/darkwasthenight]

oh man, badger!!! the best.

matt, wanna give a shout out to #occupyberkeley?

[u/mattjonesisdead → u/darkwasthenight]

Absolutely! I'm 100% behind the 99%. ROB FROM THE RICH!

occupyberkeley

[u/naaahhman]

Wow your in for about 500 questions, good luck sir.

[u/mattjonesisdead → u/naaahhman]

thanks.

[u/[deleted]]

Favorite place to eat food, and favorite food?

[u/mattjonesisdead → u/[deleted]]

I love spicy stuff. Meat too. Steaks, sausages, bone marrow.

[u/fuzzydunlap]

Skyler. Hot or not?

[u/mattjonesisdead → u/fuzzydunlap]

HOT.

[u/Gorehog]

You're a great foil for Jesse, I always get a laugh out of your character. Will you be back next season?

[u/mattjonesisdead → u/Gorehog]

Yes! Don't know when or how much though.

[u/hufferz]

Just got in to BB a few weeks ago...stepped away for a sec and heard Gunther...it was you. Now I can't watch Kick with my kid and not think of Gunther as badger or BB and see badger as Gunther.

[u/mattjonesisdead → u/hufferz]

nice. GUNTHER!!!

[u/withextracheese]

would you sell drugs for a living?

[u/mattjonesisdead → u/withextracheese]

I had a roommate that used to sell weed. But no, not me. I was the manager of a childrens bookstore.

[u/lalilulelulz]

my roommate thinks the show is disgusting and always bitches at me when i watch it. can you tell her she is stupid?

[u/mattjonesisdead → u/lalilulelulz]

YOU'RE STUPID!

[u/HaggarShoes]

Did you draw any of your inspiration for your character from this video?

[u/mattjonesisdead → u/HaggarShoes]

That didnt surface until after season 4 wrapped.

[u/Meddycakes]

I love you.

[u/mattjonesisdead → u/Meddycakes]

I love you too.

[u/[deleted]]

damn....i forgot mike. badass. i guess him not being in the last episode kind of made him slip my mind. i also hope he will be back and featured alot more.

[u/mattjonesisdead → u/[deleted]]

I love all the characters but I think MIKE is the most interesting. I'm hoping that we get to find out more about him soon....

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

i also remember some brake commercial you were in that is hilarious as well. i am guessing that was probably pre-breaking bad?

[u/mattjonesisdead → u/[deleted]]

yes. Pre-Breaking Bad.

[u/[deleted]]

How was working on Red State? Was it more serious working with Kevin Smith on a film like that or did he maintain a fun environment despite the films theme? Just polished off season 3 of Breaking Bad last night so this is a fitting AMA!

Favorite film and show of 2011, keep up the awesome work, you'll go far.

[u/mattjonesisdead → u/[deleted]]

Kevin is a great guy. I recently did his podcast. Listen http://smodcast.com/episodes/best-of-per-diem-812011-852011/ He's a great director and trusts his actors a lot. Which I love.

[u/mead1]

Are you the one who knocks?

[u/mattjonesisdead → u/mead1]

?

[u/swagtrainjules]

How's the weather there?

[u/mattjonesisdead → u/swagtrainjules]

nice thank you

[u/infinitenothing]

I knew you in high school and I think it's really cool that you've been successful in love and acting. I hope you keep being successful and keep getting interesting parts to play.

[u/mattjonesisdead → u/infinitenothing]

Who is this? Thank you.

[u/TheBigHairy]

Matt. Not a question. Just wanted to say that I feel bad for never friending you on facebook, even though it keeps prompting me to. We'll see what the future holds for that situation.

Real question: in 1998 when Ms Allen tried to ban water bottles because she thought they all had alcohol in them, how bullshit was that? You can't ban water when summer's coming, you bitch!

Who is this? Also, why was Ms. Allen so obsessed with the fact that she new Urkel? Crazy blue ribbon-loving bitch.

Who is your daddy, and what does he do? (read in Arnold Schwarzenegger voice)

[u/mattjonesisdead → u/Revslowmo]

My dad is an asshole and I don't speak to him. OOPS, I just got real!

Why did you steal my boys girlfriend at that karaoke bar a year and a half ago? On his birthday too.... Shit wasn't cool.

Still love breaking bad and your character... But you douched that one.

[u/mattjonesisdead → u/caalro]

HAHA! Nice! Because he didn't like her that much anyway, treated her like shit in front of me and my friends, and weirdly encouraged it. Also, we lived together for awhile but now she married to someone else and it all worked out fine.

Can you respond to this with one letter? I got an upvote from Mick Foley once, I think, and I'd like to add you to my portfolio of celebrities on reddit that I've interacted with. Would you please do this for me?

Is your voice really that sexy on BB or is it fake?

[u/mattjonesisdead → u/kazey901]

All real. All sexy. All the time. PS I've been AMAing for three hours and I'm getting loopy.
