'Breaking Bad' Actors Bryan Cranston & Aaron Paul To Visit Stamford

STAMFORD, CT — Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul of "Breaking Bad" fame are coming to Stamford.

On Wednesday at 6 p.m., as part of a nationwide tour, the duo will be at Fortina in Harbor Point to hand out samples of their new mezcal brand, Dos Hombres.

Cranston played chemistry teacher turned drug kingpin Walter White on the hit show, and Paul played Jesse Pinkman, a former student of White's who helped establish a crystal meth empire.

Paul was a longtime fan of mezcal, according to an Orlando Weekly profile, and Cranston considered it "carpet cleaner," and noted he used to actually clean carpets with it.

But together at a mezcal bar in New York City, Cranston found a brand he liked, and the two agreed to travel to Oaxaca, Mexico and sample more. They also wanted to get back in business together in some capacity.

"We thought it was too soon for sharing the screen again, but I asked, what if we got into a different sort of business? What about booze? And he thought I was doing a bit," Cranston told a small media group, as reported by Inside Hook.

In the small village of San Luis del Rio, they met a third generation Mezcal maker Gregorio Velasco, and formed a partnership. Dos Hombres was born.

Fortina is located at 120 Washington Blvd.

A spokesperson also confirmed Cranston and Paul are scheduled to appear at Stew Leonard's Wines & Spirits of Norwalk, located on Westport Avenue, Wednesday morning at 9 a.m.
