Act-off: Walter White vs. Dwight Schrute

Schauspieler Bryan Cranston war neulich zu Gast im Podcast „Soul Boom“ von Berufskollege Rainn Wilson. Dieser hat Cranston zu einem „Act-off“ aufgefordert, in dem beide eine vorgegebene Szene zu improvisieren hatte. Leider nicht wirklich als Walter White bzw. Dwight Schrute aus den Serien „Breaking Bad“ respektive „The Office (US)“, aber interessant ist dieser kleine Wettbewerb allemal anzuschauen (den Cranston mutmaßlich nicht nur meiner Meinung nach klar für sich hat entscheiden können).

Wer lediglich diesen Ausschnitt sehen möchte, schaut sich das nächste Video an. Wen das komplette Gespräch interessiert, das auch einiges zu Bryan Cranstons Rolle des Walter White in „Breaking Bad“ und das Schauspiel-Business allgemein zu bieten hat, schaut die Videos Zwei und Drei an (der Act-off findet zu Beginn des ersten Podcast-Teiles statt).
