"Breaking Bad," one of America's most popular series of all time has finally received its first ever Emmy Award nomination for casting.

The series casting directors, namely Sharon Bialy and Sherry Thomas, recently spoke with E! News and revealed some never-before-heard casting facts on the show, including the turning down of the late Philip Seymour Hoffman and Michael Cera as series regulars.

During the interview, the publication asked the casting directors why they think the show never received any nominations for casting.

"I just don't think it's a flashy show. It's a solid, critically adored, amazing show. It's very real and it's not flashy. We never stunt cast any roles and it didn't really garner attention in that way," Thomas said.

This year, "Breaking Bad" comes head to head with "True Detective," another series that is nominated at the Emmy's for casting.

When asked whether or not the it's a fair competition between the two shows, consider "True Detective" only signed up actors for an entire season, Bialy explained, "I can tell you that we took note of the Emmy rules because big movie stars who we love will be very open to committing to a cable show that lasts one year."

Bialy added, "It is much more difficult to get actors to commit to the typical five to seven years. So I do think it's not really comparing apples to apples but apples to oranges."

Meanwhile, "Breaking Bad" actor RJ Mitte will be a keynote speaker at this year's Blackbaud Conference. Mitte, who was diagnosed with cerebral palsy at three years old, has been very active in both film and television, Business Wire reported.

Mitte will be talking about his adversities in life in a talk entitled "Power on! Turning Your Disadvantages into Advantages, this coming October 6, the same publication noted.
