He’d eventually clock in at four total wins in that category, plus two more for best drama series due to his producer credit. The iconic character has also twice made guest appearances in the “Bad” universe — 2019’s “El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie” and now, alongside Aaron Paul, appearing in the final season of “Better Call Saul,” as that was when the Bob Odenkirk-led prequel finally caught up to the events in “Bad.” Adding to and re-creating moments from “Bad,” these now-guest parts filled in details of this notoriously scrupulous world.
Here, Cranston reflects on revisiting the world of Walter White. How hard was it for you to get back into that mindset? There were two scenes that we shot. The first one was in the RV with [Odenkirk], so we had to research the “Breaking Bad” episode that that would have taken place in and what were the circumstances leading up to that. But as far as the characters? Once Aaron and I put on those clothes, we looked at each other and smiled, and we went, “We’re back.” You sometimes shaved your head to play the part in the first show. How was this process of physically becoming Walter again? They sent us pictures and they said, “How close can you be?” I said, “I can get pretty close, except the hair.” I had to use a bald cap.

And he’s back again this summer with “Full Circle,” a six-part miniseries that premieres at the Tribeca Festival before launching on Max on July 13.

To say more would be to spoil its pleasures.
