NEW YORK — Bryan Cranston and his co-stars were all smiles on Wednesday night, but no one was happier to be at the New York premiere of Breaking Bad's final season than billionaire Warren Buffett.

The chairman and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway was among the small group of notable faces at the event, held at Lincoln Center, where he took a few photos on the red carpet with Aaron Paul and then took in the first episode of the new season.

"I'm a huge fan!" he told BuzzFeed at the event's after-party. "Not only is the story compelling — it's a really an interesting story — but the acting is superb. It's not just one. They are great, great actors. I was telling Anna [Gunn], she and Meryl Streep are the two best actresses in the country, in my opinion. And Aaron, and obviously Bryan, they are so good."

Buffett added, "This is my number one show, by far."

The 82-year-old businessman, who is worth a reported $53 billion, visited the set of the show earlier this year, to film a sketch that they used for the annual Berkshire Hathaway shareholder meeting. In the skit, he confronted Cranston and Paul, as Walter White and Jesse Pinkman, as they tried to break into the peanut brittle business; Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway owns the classic candy company See's.
