Dean Norris plays Walter White's brother-in-law, DEA agent Hank Schrader, on Breaking Bad. In an exclusive interview with AMCtv.com, the actor talks about learning to play a paraplegic, Hank's fixation with minerals, and going out for a bender with the crew.
Q: You've talked a lot in the past about training to play a cop. Tell me a little bit about training to play a paraplegic. What's that like?
A: Yeah, it's not quite as fun. I ended up talking to several people who had lost motor ability, just to kind of get a feel for what that was. We had a medical technician on set, and she's the one I've kind of worked with the most in terms of how do you move or not move. You know, it's tough: Hank's physicality was a big part of who he was, so to have lost that has made him bitter. Unfortunately the wife is the only one around to bear the brunt of the bitterness.
