"Breaking Bad" star Tweets nastily about Delta Air Lines

"Breaking Bad" actor Dean Norris gets pretty profane on his Twitter feed, even if it has nothing to do with Delta.

Dean Norris, who plays a DEA agent chasing after an elusive meth dealer who happens to be his brother in law on "Breaking Bad," is raging mad at Atlanta-based Delta Air Lines.

Social media monitors at Delta Air Lines via @deltaassist respond to nasty tweets all the time. Norris just happens to be TMZ worthy, given he's an actor on a popular AMC drama.

Norris, whose Tweets are often on the profane side, was so angry with service on Delta, on Saturday, he first posted this (with the harshest expletives **** ed out) to his 57,000 followers @deanjnorris:

Delta airlines SUCKS. wish I had a more intense word for suck to describe how much they SUCK. Southwest kicks your a**!

Three hours ago, he posted this (also cleaned up):

Back on s*** hole Delta 2nd flight 3 days delayed cause missing flight attendant!!! what a horse**** company hub system=no choice=****ed

Delta responded by asking him to send his confirmation number and apologized to boot. You can read it here. A Delta spokeswoman emailed me to tell me about this response and says the airline promises to make further amends down the road.

I don't write about Delta too often anymore. (Believe it or not, I actually covered the airline business back in 1995-96 for the AJC business section.) The last time I recall writing about Delta was two years ago when 680/The Fan employee Chadd Scott said he was fired after he made nasty Tweets to Delta. The problem: Delta was a client of the Fan.

Piers Morgan also went on Twitter to complain about Delta when he was held up in Minneapolis and missed auditions for "America's Got Talent' in Atlanta two years ago.

I don't think Norris has any plans to be a Delta celebrity spokesman any time soon.
