Actor Quote by Brian Stokes Mitchell
“Something is guiding my career; I don't know what it is. When I look back at my career, I call myself the most lucky actor in the world. It is all I have ever done. I do master classes, and I tell people not to use me as an example. I do not know anyone like me - not to brag - it is just very unusual.”

![“[on playing Walter] It was wonderful to be able to play a character who had so many colors and who was able to play comedy, to play incredibly vulnerable, which he did a lot of the time, to play the love story, and to play the relationship with the son, which is quite unusual. That's a gift to me…” quote by John Noble](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/578/john-noble-14582_actors_on-playing-walter-it-was-wonderful-to-be_907298.jpg)
