Bryan Cranston and Bob Odenkirk were just some of the big names from the Breaking Bad universe who took to Twitter and Instagram to honor Margolis. Before viewing some of the posts, please note that Margolis’ family has asked that, in lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. Margolis manager Robert Kolker said in a statement (via Variety), “He was one of a kind. We won’t see his likes again. He was a treasured client and a lifelong friend. I was lucky to know him.”
