So her famous “cool” is not really cool at all. I don’t think it’s beside the point that she dresses horribly. She is overwhelmingly sensible, and a time may come when that is not enough, when Tina reveals pain, disaster, or madness. Has she ever done anything stupid, dangerous, or passionate? Has she any intention of trying? So in her determinedly old-fashioned look, she is somewhere between Elaine May and Lena Dunham but treating neurosis or mistake as Julia Child might have looked on Spam. She is world-famous, but it all seems to slip off her cautiously groomed look. So she is very smart, very funny, and attractive enough to get votes in those “sexiest” contests. So the girl who said she was a super nerd at school admits that she has never been intimate with anyone except her husband (who was a director at Second City). But, like Carson, she is elusive or withheld, someone who does not quite believe she has a there there. She can seem to be “everywhere” in show business, accumulating hours and years on the small screen like a child of Johnny Carson. Tina Fey is an odd mixture wherever you look. Then she switched over to television, not just with Homeland but as the lead in Temple Grandin.
But the best thing about Walter is that he is sometimes as funny as Malcolm’s dad in a life that is just too much to handle.Īt 17, she was poised to be a movie star-yet she dodged the bullet, and embarked on some offbeat pictures: U-Turn The Rainmaker Cosette in Les Misérables Polish Wedding with Omar Epps and Giovanni Ribisi in The Mod Squad. Not many steadfast TV characters say as much about our demented world. Walter is reluctant to die, and ready to destroy lives on his way out. The dad is a loud weakling in a farcical family setup, while Walter White becomes one of the most tight-lipped and impressive characters in modern fiction: an ordinary schoolteacher who learns he is dying and breaks bad, in organized crime and desperate acts of murder. The two men don’t look alike and they are not from the same world. Then you have to convince many people that the dad in Malcolm really is the same actor as Walter White in Breaking Bad. But in the same list, Malcolm in the Middle counts as one item (not 151 episodes), while Breaking Bad is another single item, with 62 episodes. That number includes some shorts, some voice-over jobs, episodes on many television shows, and small parts in some big pictures-for example, Argo. With that in mind, we have excerpted, with permission, a few such entries.Īs I write, Cranston is 57, yet his current record claims 125 projects he has worked on as an actor.
