George RR Martin refused to sit back and relax after Bryan Cranston confused him with his villainous arc in Breaking Bad.
"Breaking Bad" stars in team with Julia Louis-Dreyfus in Emmy parody
On a normal day, Walter White would make anyone run for the hills and scream in terror. But when faced with George RR Martin's hideous fantasy, it's a serious dilemma. Which tyrant from the land of Westeros would be best suited to go toe-to-toe with Bryan Cranston's terrifying villain? The answer doesn't seem to be Joffrey Baratheon.
The question of television's greatest villain was not one to take lightly as George RR Martin realized after watching the unraveling of Walter White as Bryan Cranston carved his name into the upper echelons of television history. Known to be blessed with a unique set of skills – skills that can make nightmares come true, the author of A Song of Ice and Fire set out to do what Vince Gilligan had already achieved with Breaking Bad.
When an author so remarkably gifted with imagination, creativity, world-building, vocabulary, and knowledge of history sets out to create one of the most powerful stories in fantasy literature, their work is sure to be recognized as a classic. George RR Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire is a modern one on a par with JRR Tolkien's opus, The Lord of the Rings.
