You may not recognize the name, but Alex Gianopoulos is a location scout for shows like AMC’s Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul; and other projects filmed in New Mexico.
The idea to interview Gianopoulos came from a work trip to Albuquerque, NM where I drove past the house that was used as an exterior for Walter White’s (Bryan Cranston) home. As I gazed upon the residence, I wondered why this house had been chosen over all the others in the area. It made me think – what goes into selecting locations for a film or television project? Before I even knew his name, I knew Gianopoulos was someone I wanted to have on as a guest.
Listening to Gianopoulos, I became captivated by the insider references to iconic scenes. For example: the train heist from the season five episode titled “Dead Freight.” Hopefully fans of Breaking Bad will enjoy this conversation as much as I did.
