“Greatness can appreciate greatness. We ought to celebrate each other’s successes and put envy aside. The petty people who can’t celebrate are legion but rare is the one great one who appreciates the talents and wins of colleagues. Read this beautiful, thoughtful, gesture on Sir Anthony’s part. It speaks volumes as to what is important to him and how he is not about self-importance but recognition of others that matters most. Bravo Sir!

Anthony Hopkins’s letter to Bryan Cranston after watching Breaking Bad:

‘Dear Mister Cranston,

I wanted to write you this email – so I am contacting you through Jeremy Barber – I take it we are both represented by UTA . Great agency.

I’ve just finished a marathon of watching “BREAKING BAD” – from episode one of the First Season — to the last eight episodes of the Sixth Season. [Ed note: There are in fact five seasons of Breaking Bad; this might have been wishful thinking.] A total of two weeks (addictive) viewing.

I have never watched anything like it. Brilliant!

Your performance as Walter White was the best acting I have seen – ever.
I know there is so much smoke blowing and sickening bullshit in this business, and I’ve sort of lost belief in anything really.

But this work of yours is spectacular — absolutely stunning. What is extraordinary, is the sheer power of everyone in the entire production. What was it? Five or six years in the making? How the producers (yourself being one of them), the writers, directors, cinematographers…. every department — casting etc. managed to keep the discipline and control from beginning to the end is (that overused word) awesome.

From what started as a black comedy, descended into a labyrinth of blood, destruction and hell. It was like a great Jacobean, Shakespearian or Greek Tragedy.

If you ever get a chance to – would you pass on my admiration to everyone — Anna Gunn, Dean Norris, Aaron Paul, Betsy Brandt, R.J. Mitte, Bob Odenkirk, Jonathan Banks, Steven Michael Quezada — everyone — everyone gave master classes of performance… The list is endless.

Thank you. That kind of work/artistry is rare, and when, once in a while, it occurs, as in this epic work, it restores confidence.

You and all the cast are the best actors I’ve ever seen.

That may sound like a good lung full of smoke blowing. But it is not. It’s almost midnight out here in Malibu, and I felt compelled to write this email.

Congratulations and my deepest respect. You are truly a great, great actor.

Best regards,
Tony Hopkins’

Absolutely beautiful. He celebrates the talent of others. He takes time to give recognition to those he admires. He is generous in his ability to uplift and edify others. The more we respect, recognize and celebrate others the better off we are. Our mind, heart and energy is uplifted when we uplift and give to others. Sir Anthony knows this and demonstrates it. Thanks for writing that letter and for the person who made it public. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes
