'Breaking Bad' Creator: Don't Throw Pizzas on Walter White's Home
Fans keep imitating a famous scene from the AMC series.
— -- Please, no more unwanted pizza deliveries to Walter White's home.
That's the message from "Breaking Bad" creator Vince Gilligan, who says some fans of the AMC drama have been throwing pizzas on the roof of the Albuquerque, New Mexico, residence that stood in for the fictional meth dealer's home.
For those of you who didn't watch the show, there was a memorable scene in which Bryan Cranston's Walter, frustrated with his wife, tossed a pizza into the air, and it landed on the roof of his house.
Speaking on the official podcast for the "Breaking Bad" spinoff "Better Call Saul," Gilligan said the woman who owns the home in real life has mentioned the pizza-tossing incidents, and that some fans have been rude to her.
He warned, "There is nothing original or funny or cool about throwing a pizza on this lady’s roof. It’s just not funny, it’s been done before, you're not the first."
Actor Jonathan Banks, who played the intimidating Mike Ehrmantraut on "Breaking Bad" and is reprising the role on "Better Call Saul," chimed in, "And if I catch you doing it, I will hunt you down."
