The veteran actor has previously stated that he was indeed offered a directorial job for “Better Call Saul” Season 3.
He explained that he would have an opportunity to direct an episode of “Better Call Saul” but he is debating in his thoughts whether he would accept it or not because he is a fan of the show. He cited that in order to direct an episode of “Better Call Saul,” he would have to know something that no fan of the show knows.
Cranston shared that he needs to go back and the producers and showrunners would tell him what is going to happen leading up to the episode. He added that there is a part of him that would say it would kind of kill the excitement for him being a fan of the TV series himself.
Cranston said that he has already considered about becoming a full-time cast member on “Better Call Saul” because he owes it to Vince Gilligan, citing the showrunner as his champion to be able to land the Walter White role.
If Vince and Peter Gould, the other showrunner, would call him and ask him to do something for them, they don’t have to finish the pitch because he is already there and would be ready to do whatever they ask him to do.
