Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan has called for more inspiring and heroic characters to be portrayed on television, saying: “We are living in an era where bad guys, the real life kind, are running amok.”
The 58-year-old screenwriter, who also created Breaking Bad spin-off Better Call Saul, spoke after accepting the highest prize at last night’s Writer’s Guild Awards, the Paddy Chayefsky Laurel Award for Television Writing Achievement.
