As a working actor in Hollywood Cranston has played a variety of roles, however none are like the one he is playing now as Walter White, a chemistry teacher who teams up with a student to create and deal meth in the local community. Gross introduced Cranston by leading into the interview with a clip from “Breaking Bad,” which allows for the audience to understand for themselves what type of character Walter White is. As an interviewer Gross allows the audiences to make up there mind about the career of Cranston by building up questions that he knows the answer too but does not just want to come out and tell the audiences about, rather allowing Cranston to elaborate further and tell his own story of his career and the show.
The strategy created was to ask simple questions that could be expanded on to learn more information from Cranston. Gross was not afraid to give his own reactions to the shows that Cranston had played roles in, but was careful not to offend the interviewee.

For this interview about the third season of the Emmy award winning series “Breaking Bad” Gross focused the interview on the actor Bryan Cranston, while at the same time promoting the show by making the audience want to tune in and see what Cranston’s character is all about on a deeper level.
