Change Art Nature Action Reaction Conversation Work

In the last piece we ran on Betsy Brandt’s experience working on Breaking Bad, she stressed the importance of the collaborative nature of the project and having her voice heard. In that particular clip from our Collider Ladies Night conversation, she was referencing a moment that happens pretty early on in Breaking Bad’s run - the intervention scene with the talking pillow in Season 1 Episode 5. Back then, it was just about asking for another take. When the time came to shoot the final episodes of the series, however, Brandt found herself with the opportunity to change a pivotal scene for the better by getting her character the moment she needed.
