   No, I actually don’t miss playing Walter White, the reason is, because it was such a complete experience for me. It was a very rich, rewarding beginning, middle and end.

   I've conducted a number of clinical trials in my days, both at Walter Reed [ National Military Medical Center ] and University of Maryland, of which I had the trial put on hold because of adverse reactions until we could evaluate whether that adverse reaction was something that was associated with the investigational product, and if so, was it serious enough that we then had to stop the trial.
