AMCAmerica’s failed fictional schyster solicitor, Saul, might be getting a little visit from Heisenberg.

AMCBefore you get your hopes up – it looks like Bryan Cranston will be taking a behind the scenes role.
Asked whether he keeps in touch with Cranston, Bob Odenkirk told ShortList:
We don’t text all the time or hang out in bars, but I see him occasionally. He watches the show, he’s proud of it. There’s talk of him helping out soon, maybe directing an episode – we’d like to get him on board.
