BREAKING BAD
The type of TV crime drama series is action

The principal characters in the series are
* Bryan Cranston as Walter White – a chemistry teacher diagnosed with Stage III lung cancer who turns to making meth to secure his family’s finances. Cranston stated that, though he enjoyed doing comedy, he decided he “...shouldreally focus on doing something else. But I think any good drama worth its weight always has a sprinkling of comedy in it, because you can ease the tension to an audience when it’s necessary, and then build it back up again. Walt White has no clue he’s occasionally funny, but as an actor I recognize when there are comedic moments and opportunities.”[20]
* Anna Gunn as Skyler White – Walter’s wifewho was pregnant with their second child prior to his diagnosis, and who becomes increasingly suspicious of her husband after he begins behaving in unfamiliar ways. Gunn sees Skyler as “grounded, tough, smart and driven”. Gunn sees Skyler’s stalled writing career as her biggest dream, saying “I think she really deep down yearns to be an artist and to be creative and productive.”[21]
* AaronPaul as Jesse Pinkman – Walter’s former student and drug dealer who partners up with Walt and makes high-level meth. Paul sees Jesse as a funny kid. “He’s just this lost soul – I don’t think he’s a bad kid, he just got mixed in the wrong crowd.” Paul elaborated on the character’s background, saying “He doesn’t come from an abusive, alcoholic background. But maybe he just didn’t relate to his father,maybe his father was too strict and too proper for Jesse.” Paul compared the character’s relationship with Walt to The Odd Couple.[22]
* Dean Norris as Hank Schrader – Walter’s DEA agent brother-in-law. Hank has been described as the “comic relief”. Norris, who has played several cops before in film and television, stated “Having played so many cops, I’ve talked with a lot of technicaladvisers, so I’ve been able to pick up a lot. Coincidentally, one of my best friends growing up is a cop in Chicago, and one of my other best friends out in LA is a sheriff. So I get to see all the components of that culture.”[23]
* Betsy Brandt as Marie Schrader – Hank’s wife and Skyler’s kleptomaniac sister. Brandt described Marie as “an unpleasant bitch”, but also stated there was more to her thanthat. “I think we’re seeing more of it now that she would be there for her family. But it’s all about her.”[24]
* RJ Mitte as Walter White, Jr. – Walter and Skyler’s son, has cerebral palsy. He begins lashing out after Walter’s cancer announcement. Like Walter Jr., Mitte has cerebral palsy, although his is a milder form.[25] Mitte stated he had to regress from his therapy to portray thecharacter, staying up late into the night to slur his speech and learned to walk on crutches so his walking wouldn’t look fake.[26]
* Bob Odenkirk as Saul Goodman (recurring season 2, main cast season 3–5) – a crooked strip mall lawyer who represents Walt and Jesse. Odenkirk based his character on film producer Robert Evans. “I thought about Robert Evans because I’ve listened to The Kid Stays inthe Picture on CD. He’s constantly switching up his cadence and his delivery. He emphasizes interesting words. He has loads of attitude in almost every line that he says. So when I rehearse the scenes alone I do my impersonation of Robert Evans to find those moments and turns. Then I go out and I do Saul.”[27]
* Giancarlo Esposito as Gustavo “Gus” Fring (recurring season 2, main cast season3–4) – a high level drug distributor who has a cover as a fast food chain owner. Esposito stated for the third season, he incorporated his yoga training in his performance. “Gus is the coolest cucumber that ever walked the Earth. I think about Eddie Olmos way back in Miami Vice. He was like dead – he was hardly breathing. I thought, how is this guy just standing in this fire and doing nothing? Gus...
