I think that playing a psychopath is not really much of a stretch for an actor since most of them are self-centered narcissists. It's rather a one note character anyway.
Cranston played a full range of emotional responses in the series Breaking Bad maintaining and delivering a consistent level of believably to the character that was rare. So rare that Hopkins though it noteworthy to make the statement about it.
I for one, think he was correct.
