Description

This video essay analzes Anna Gunn's outstanding acting throughout Breaking Bad (owned by Sony Pictures Television). While it's easy to enjoy Bryan Cranston, Aaron Paul and Giancarlo Esposito, Anna Gunn anchored Breaking Bad in a way that made the emotional stakes of the story feel more engaging. Actions had consequences and Skyler White was a big part of bringing that to life. This video examines Anna Gunn's acting throughout Breaking Bad, from her physicality, eye contact and emotional delivery.

She held her own in every scene with Bryan Cranston. Anna is so hated because she mastered a character that many of us have met. This woman deserves all of the praise.

Unfortunately she's underrated precisely because she played Skyler so well.

most people would be exactly like Skylar in this type of situation if it happen to them as much as they believe they could be a Saul Gus or Mike

I think the moment in Ozymandias when everything falls apart in the White household is the best scene in the show and it's mainly because of Anna's performance.
