HBO's Cold War Drama 'The Missionary' Casts A 'Breaking Bad' Star After All

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Fri, 16 Nov 2012 00:30:48 +0000

Earlier this year we heard the exciting news that (soon-to-be former) ‘Breaking Bad‘ star Aaron Paul was considered the frontrunner for the title role in HBO’s upcoming drama ‘The Missionary,’ shooting after the AMC drama’s 2013 end. That role was recently given to ‘Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter‘ star Benjamin Walker after scheduling difficulties with Paul, but the show has netted yet another 'Breaking Bad' star, also one-time 'Friday Night Lights' star Jesse Plemons. Wait til you hear who he plays!

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Fri, 02 Nov 2012 17:42:28 +0000

Yeah, Mr. Savage! Yeah, Mr. Hyneman! It what will surely turn out to be the news of the week (discounting that whole Disney 'Star Wars' thing), it seems that the science of 'Breaking Bad' will finally be put to the test, as 'Mythbusters' is set to tackle the AMC meth drama series in an upcoming episode. Series creator Vince Gilligan and star Aaron Paul will even take part in the episode, but which of 'Breaking Bad's infamous scientific scenes will the 'Mythbusters' put to the test?

In the new indie drama 'Smashed,' Mary Elizabeth Winstead plays an alcoholic school teacher trying to get sober while struggling with marriage to her similarly booze-ridden husband. The film, out now in limited release, is a heart-wrenching portrait of addiction and salvation.

Way Back When: Aaron Paul

Britt Hayes — Mon, 15 Oct 2012 21:30:30 +0000

Before he was the meth addict with a heart of gold on 'Breaking Bad,' Aaron Paul was a face you probably saw on TV a lot more than you realize. On today's Way Back When, we take a look at Aaron Paul before you knew his name -- and guess what! 'Breaking Bad' wasn't the first time he played an addict.

'Need For Speed' Snags Aaron Paul for Movie Adaptation

Britt Hayes — Mon, 15 Oct 2012 17:30:15 +0000

Forget all that meth from ‘Breaking Bad‘ — speed is where it’s at these days. Aaron Paul has joined the adaptation of the hit video game franchise ‘Need for Speed’ as one of the film’s two leads.

'Breaking Bad' Star Aaron Paul Wants to Star in 'The Dark Tower'

Eric Walkuski — Fri, 12 Oct 2012 14:25:42 +0000

Imagine this: Aaron Paul plays a drug addict and criminal who finds a fresh direction in life thanks to a confidant and clever mentor/father figure who urges him to kick the habit and join his cause. However, this journey his new associate takes him on, while offering many rewards, may also ultimately be his downfall.

That's a rough summary of the trials of Paul's Jesse Pinkman on AMC's 'Breaking Bad', but it might also describe the character of Eddie Dean in Stephen King's 'The Dark Tower' - a role that would seemingly fit the actor like a glove. But is he ready to tackle it? Find out after the break.

Nick Romano — Tue, 09 Oct 2012 14:16:20 +0000

What did you do this weekend? Catch up on 'Breaking Bad,' or watch the James Bond saga before 'Skyfall' hits theaters? Well, Aaron Paul and Pierce Brosnan sure weren't. Both of them were out partying at the Radiohead concert in London, where they almost got kicked out and an awesomely hilarious photo (shown above) was created.

2012 Emmy Awards: Aaron Paul Wins Outstanding Supporting Actor in Drama for 'Breaking Bad'

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Mon, 24 Sep 2012 01:16:40 +0000

Seriously, how adorable is Aaron Paul? “Thank you for not killing me off,” said the ‘Breaking Bad’ star, as he accepted his second consecutive Emmy for the role of Jesse Pinkman. Paul referred to series creator Vince Gilligan’s initial plan for the Jesse Pinkman character, which would have seen him dead inside the first several [...]

'Smashed' Trailer: Aaron Paul Goes From 'Breaking Bad' to Breaking a Habit

Nick Romano — Wed, 12 Sep 2012 14:31:46 +0000

'Breaking Bad' was a pretty big turning point for both Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul. Though Cranston had already racked up a following from his role on 'Malcolm in the Middle' and his vast list of supporting characters on the big screen, it was Paul who really went from being a semi-unknown actor to getting a mainstream fan base. Now his latest project 'Smashed,' of which we're already fans, is hitting theaters this October, and you can actually see bits of his performance (rather than just reading about it) in the all-new trailer.

'Breaking Bad's Aaron Paul Killed Gus Fring Before 'Breaking Bad' Was A Thing

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Wed, 15 Aug 2012 15:16:19 +0000

Well, file this one under "how the hell did no one notice this before?" It seems Jesse Pinkman and Gustavo "Gus" Fring have more of a storied history than 'Breaking Bad' would have led us to believe, as the New Mexican meth chronicles aren't the first time Aaron Paul and Giancarlo Esposito have worked together on-screen. Rather, the two seem to have been at odds before, appearing together in a 2006 episode of Jennifer Love Hewitt's ~~cleavage~~ series 'The Ghost Whisperer!" Want to see?

'Breaking Bad' Star Aaron Paul Will Go 'A Long Way Down'

Britt Hayes — Mon, 13 Aug 2012 18:43:36 +0000

‘Breaking Bad”s Aaron Paul is the latest to join ‘A Long Way Down,’ the adaptation of the Nick Hornby novel in which four people decide to kill themselves. It’s a real heart-warmer, you guys. Aaron Paul flew under the radar for years before hitting the big time on AMC’s ‘Breaking Bad,’ playing Jesse Pinkman, the [...]

'Breaking Bad's Aaron Paul Was On 'The Price Is Right'

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Fri, 20 Jul 2012 15:49:13 +0000

As if it isn't a big enough shock to the system to watch heavier episodes of 'Breaking Bad,' followed by Bryan Cranston's lighter work, so too does Aaron Paul's past body of work provide endless fodder to measure against Jesse Pinkman. We've already seen what happens when Jesse Pinkman craves either Corn Pops or Juicy Fruit, but how would he handle himself against Bob Barker on 'The Price is Right?'

HBO Orders Cold War Pilot 'The Missionary' with…Jesse Pinkman?

Kevin Fitzpatrick — Wed, 13 Jun 2012 17:30:22 +0000

Not that anyone was particularly expecting Aaron Paul to have to struggle for work once 'Breaking Bad' ended the second of its eight-episode runs and final season next year, but it seems Jesse Pinkman is already heading back to work. The three-time Emmy nominated (one win) actor may go undercover for a new HBO pilot, and somehow we imagine his dialogue will be a whole lot cleaner than his 'Breaking Bad' character...

'Breaking Bad' Teases Season 5

Damon Houx — Thu, 03 May 2012 01:15:36 +0000

'Breaking Bad' is weary of the minefield that is spoilers. So much so that the just-released peak at their new season offers little but footage of its stars Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul saying that they're currently shooting, but don't want to give anything away. Still, they made a video to get you pumped for the penultimate season.
