as someone who has actually watched true detective (which was an amazing show and looking forward to season 2) and has watched breaking bad i can say beyond a shadow of a doubt that Cranston kicks ass

You acted like this is a no brainer it isn't. I told you that Matt is the superior actor obviously so logically Matt's exceptional acting is greater than the dentist from Seinfeld's.Cranston was great but Matt was far greater.
In terms of success those actors are far more successful than Bryan. Bryan just isn't up to Matt's par. Matt's role was far better whereas Cranston went through the same cyclical emotions throughout the series. The writing was more exceptional than Cranston's acting IMO.
This isn't about who's the best actor anyways, it's about who gave the better performance in Breaking Bad versus True Detective. Emmy for leading actor in drama show 3 years in a row, most people would agree Cranston was outstanding beyond any comparison
Originally posted by Firefly218And I said Matt by far. Cranston went through the same gamut of emotional cycles during the five seasons. Matt is a far better actor and this role was better as well.

Once again, this isn't about who's the better actor or who had the better role. This is about who gave the better performance in their respective role.

MM is undoubtedly a tremendous actor and it never ceases to amaze me why he wasted almost a decade of his career on shitty romantic comedies and other mediocre films. Almost everything from 1997 to 2008 was crap or average. Yet in the last few years he's done Mud, Dallas Buyer's Club, True Detective, The Wolf of Wall Street (his small role was still great) and now Interstellar.
None of this changes the fact that his performance in True Detective, while great and was a great character, pails in comparison to the range and complexity of Cranston.
Cranston may unfortunately be one of those actors that is defined by one brilliant role in a career of relatively unexceptional ones. Edward Norton has suffered much the same thing. He was utterly brilliant in American History X and was good in 25th Hour and Eight Club but hasn't done anything else of note.
James Gandolfini only really had Tony Soprano but was born for that role.
But like I said, none of this matters. Performance wise Cranston's in Breaking Bad was better than Matthew McConaughey's in True Detective. Although I still prefer Rust Cole as a character to Walter White.

I don't really care what you think. Fact is, Cranston gave one of the greatest performances in history of television as Walter White. MM is a great actor as well, no disrespect.
And 3 Emmys in a row b!tch
Originally posted by Firefly218That is fine. I didn't say he wasn't great in the role. I just said Matt was better.

I think the scene where Walt is on the telephone to Skylar and he knows the police are listening in and is making out he is undermining her, at the same time attempting to not breakdown with a specific end goal to get her free as a bird for her association in Walt's illicit exercises. Not many exhibitions verge on depicting that numerous distinctive feelings, intricacy and run in one scene. The excursion Walt's character happened from being a great man doing an awful thing for selfless reasons and plummeting into being a terrible man doing an awful thing for childish reasons was splendidly done.
