The role is oddly similar to Schwarzenegger's persona in Last Action Hero: someone who plays a superman at work but in the real world is stranded without a script. Harry is, after all, just a performer. Other agents are his directors; they tell him what...
Just think of New York City (pre-Depression era) as a giant spiderweb, with Cranston as its center. A little spooky? Yes. So is Cranston, the master manipulator.

And their lyrical and emotional raw materials...
