Was this the one Aaron Paul was rumored to star in a couple months ago?
ReplyDeleteYes. As much as i love Paul, i couldn't see him in this project. Im not glad he got replaced, but i think its for the better for this project.
ReplyDeleteI love him too and I was really glad with the news since it'd mean he immediately had another TV project right after Breaking Bad, but as for the project, this guy does seem a better fit.
ReplyDeletePaul has at least a lead role in two upcomming movies tough. So he will be at least on the moviescreen after Breaking Bad. You should se Smashed.
ReplyDeleteI prefer TV though, but I've been keeping up with his movies. And I'm definitely going to see Smashed! :)
