The actor said his book would “tell the stories of my life and reveal the secrets and lies that I lived with for six years shooting ‘Breaking Bad.’ ”

The popular series, which showcased Albuquerque’s grit and high-desert beauty, has helped the city become a star in its own right and given rise to an entire “Breaking Bad” economy.

Viewers are trying to catch up on old episodes of “Breaking Bad” through Netflix, Amazon, iTunes and other Internet services as the hit series nears its end.

The audience was the largest in almost a decade and, notably, had competition from the big winner of the night, AMC’s “Breaking Bad.”

Screenbid.com sees a market in the stuff movie and TV shows are made of, including the dull green Aztek used by the show’s meth-dealing antihero, Walter White.

As the AMC show’s finale approaches, it may set near record advertising rates for cable TV for marketers vying for the limited commercial time still available.

From a sleepy movie channel to an incubator of signature television, AMC is hoping to seize the moment and create new, profitable hits.
