About this listen

Packed with never-before-heard stories and exclusive interviews with the cast, crew, producers, writers, directors, and creators, star Dean Norris—aka DEA Hank Schrader and Walter White’s brother-in-law—shares a definitive insider account of the iconic TV show Breaking Bad.

The story of Walter White, a timid, cancer-stricken chemistry teacher who becomes “the one who knocks” when he decides to cook meth to provide for his family captivated tens of millions of people, breaking viewership records and scoring numerous awards.

Now, in time for Breaking Bad’s twentieth anniversary, Do What You’re Gonna Do is the definitive insider’s look at what is widely regarded as one of the landmark dramas in television history. In a book that is part memoir and part oral history, Dean Norris—who portrayed one of the show’s most popular and pivotal characters, DEA agent Hank Schrader—gives fans a backstage tour featuring interviews and insight from cast and crew, never-before-heard secrets, and intimate and hilarious stories from on-set. Norris reveals what it was like to audition for and join an unknown show at a fledgling AMC; to work with costars Bryan Cranston, Aaron Paul, Anna Gunn, Bob Odenkirk, Giancarlo Esposito, and showrunners Peter Gould and Vince Gilligan; and to watch the series take on a life of its own in the cultural zeitgeist, as one of the most-bingeable shows in TV history.

Essential reading for any Breaking Bad fan, Do What You’re Gonna Do captures the spirit, camaraderie, and yes, the chemistry that made it a hit with critics and fans alike.
