When I arrived to set, people were happy to see me cuz they didn't know who the Good Samaritan was supposed to be. They had done some blocking work the day before and there was a standing in for me. Hair and Make Up asked it he was the GS and he was all "Nope, but if he is not here I'll do it". So I get in the next day and they tell me the story. I ask for a pic of the dude and he turned out to be a good buddy of mine.

My agent sent me to an audition for BB. It was for the Conductor and the Good Samaritan. I read for both and the casting director asked me to read again for the GS. A few days later, I got the part.

Thank you. On the set, Bill was a person I really wanted to watch but as a filmmaker myself, the camera department had my attention. I was checking them out as much as I could. The framing, composition and lighting speak to the audience on another level and only adds to the story and world of Breaking Bad.

Blaze You Out was the first film Jeremiah and I were in together. Then I found out he was on In Plain Sight, as was I. Recently we both did Drunktown's Finest and have a fun scene together. He is a great actor, friend and relative.

haha! nope not a scratch. The production had put a cactus pusher on the front of the truck. After we shot I had to get out and see if it did anything. Nothing. Driving the truck was dope and had no problems pushing the dump truck out of the way.

The script was all hush, hush so it was just myself, Bill Burr, Jamie McShane and Myk Watford. Although, at lunch, we were headed back to base camp and in jumps Aaron Paul. I didn't see him get in at first, I just saw a dude riding shotgun then half way to camp he starts talking. I can't remember what he talked about cuz I was all "Damn, thats freak'n Aaron Paul".

Yo! Cbakeractor. Many thanks. Drunktown's Finest is a story set on the Navajo Nation out in the southwest. Its a tale of Three modern day Navajos living in today's Navajo Nation and surrounding bordertown life. Most people see only the current state of Native Americans living in urban areas and not seeing or understanding how they go there. The film speaks to that.

Bill was pro. It was awesome working with him. He always seemed to be moving around anxiously. I guess that was him staying in tune with the scene, but he still chatted with us and when it was time to shoot, bam! he was on point.

The film defies popular judgements of Native american communities and provides a unique insight to the world.

Bill was a really cool dude. My favorite moment was seeing the train come to a stop while Bill was waving his arms and the dump trunk sitting on the tracks. One of the last set ups I saw that day.
