Jun 01, 2021 · Huell Babineaux. Perhaps the funniest character on Breaking Bad, the image of Huell’s massive body laying on wads of cash became iconic, as did his cumbersome antics with partner Patrick Kuby. Huell was a minder for the legendary crooked lawyer, Saul Goodman, and acted as low-level muscle.
Bob Odenkirk portrays Saul Goodman/Jimmy McGill/Gene Takavic in both Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. The need for a character like Saul came from two paths of Breaking Bad ' s development around the show's second season. First, as Walt and Jesse got themselves deeper into the drug business, the show's writers felt they needed a character ...
After their employee Badger is arrested in an Albuquerque Police sting operation, meth cooks Walter White and Jesse Pinkman hire Saul as their lawyer and consigliere. Saul has already offered to be Badger's legal counsel and has learned that the DEA hopes Badger will lead them to "Heisenberg". Walt poses as Badger's uncle and goes to Saul's office, where he learns that Saul will advise Badger to reveal his associates in order to avoid prison. Walt offers Saul a bribe to keep Badger from "flipping", but Saul refuses. Walt and Jesse kidnap Saul and threaten to kill him if he does not keep Badger from informing. Saul, initially worried that the two are sent by Lalo or Nacho, sees through their scare tactics, takes a token payment so he can give them legal advice protected by attorney-client privilege, and tells them about Jimmy "In-'N-Out" Kilkelly, who makes a living confessing to the crimes of others and going to prison. Saul arranges for Kilkelly to be arrested and confess to being Heisenberg. The DEA busts Kilkelly when Badger meets with him for a drug deal, but Hank is not completely convinced. Later, Saul visits Walt at his school. He informs Walt that he was too easy to find and offers to be his full-time legal counsel, money launderer, and adviser with respect to protecting his identity.

James Morgan McGill, also known by his business name Saul Goodman and later known as Gene Takavic, is a fictional character who appears in the television series Breaking Bad and serves as the titular main character of its spin-off prequel series Better Call Saul.
To help launder Walt's drug money, Saul uses the website his son Walter Jr. set up for donors to contribute to Walt's chemotherapy, making the drug cash look like small donations from numerous contributors. Saul also helps Jesse anonymously buy his aunt's house back from his parents with his share of the drug money. Saul and Mike bug Walt's wife Skyler's house to find out if she has told anyone about Walt. Saul attempts to get Jesse to convince Walt to resume cooking methamphetamine. After an altercation between Walt and Skyler's boss Ted Beneke, Mike brings Walt to Saul. Walt figures out that Saul has been bugging his house and attacks him, causing Saul to refuse to launder any more money through Walter Jr.'s website. Jesse visits Saul with methamphetamine he produced and asks for a meeting with Gus, at which Gus agrees to buy Jesse's product, assuming it will be an incentive to Walt. Saul sets up a meeting between Jesse and Walt to resolve the issue of Jesse's half of the money from their previous work for Gus. Walt agrees to resume meth production for Gus, with Gale Boetticher as his assistant, so Saul changes sides and agrees to launder Walt's new income.
Saul tells Skyler about Beneke's accident , which has left him hospitalized and immobile. Walt is angry with Saul about Saul's payment to Beneke, while Saul is upset at Walt for poisoning Brock (as revealed in the previous season's finale episode), revealing that he knew about it all along. He attempts to end his relationship with Walt, but Walt intimidates him into continuing their business arrangement. With Gus dead, Saul tries to convince Walt to stop making meth, but Walt says he has to continue because he needs the cash. Saul hosts a meeting between Mike, Jesse, and Walt, where they agree to set up a new meth-producing business. Saul helps Walt and Jesse look for new locations, and they agree on Ira's business, Vamonos Pest Control, as the best option. Saul defends Mike from the DEA's investigation by threatening litigation over their supposed harassment. The DEA learns that Mike's lawyer Dan Wachsberger is the conduit for Mike's hush money payments to Gus's former employees and Mike's hiding cash for his daughter-in-law Stacey and granddaughter Kaylee. Mike asks Saul to retrieve the "go bag" with cash and false identity documents that he previously hid. Saul is unable, however, and has Walt do it. When Mike refuses to divulge the names of Gus' former employees so Walt can have them killed to protect his identity, Walt shoots and kills him. Jesse tries to have Saul take the $5 million Jesse made stealing a trainload of methylamine and distribute it to Kaylee and the parents of Drew Sharp, a young boy whom cartel minion Todd Alquist killed during the theft. Saul refuses, saying the attempt to move the cash will attract more police scrutiny. Jesse attempts to get rid of the money in other ways, including throwing it onto random lawns and leaving it in random mailboxes. Saul calls Walt to inform him of Jesse's erratic behavior.
Walt visits Saul to tell him that Hank has learned that Walt is Heisenberg. Saul suggests killing Hank, but Walt refuses. Jesse is arrested while tossing money from his car, and Saul obtains his release from police custody. Saul arranges a meeting between Walt and Jesse, and Walt convinces Jesse to contact Ed and start a new life. Saul wants Jesse to give up drugs before beginning the trip, but Jesse refuses, so Saul has Huell pickpocket Jesse's cannabis. When Jesse realizes his marijuana was stolen, he figures out that Huell must have also stolen the ricin cigarette, meaning that Walt poisoned Brock and Saul knew. Instead of leaving with Ed, Jesse returns to Saul's office and assaults him. Saul admits he had Huell steal the ricin, but says he did not know what Walt intended. Saul calls Walt to warn him that Jesse knows the truth about what happened to Brock. Saul meets with Walt and suggests killing Jesse. After the DEA manipulates Huell into telling them what happened to Walt's money, Saul is afraid for his life and meets with Walt at the car wash. Believing his arrest is imminent, Walt goes into hiding. Saul gathers valuables from his office and gives Francesca a cover story, while she prepares to dispose of shredded documents from Saul's law practice. She agrees to be at a telephone booth on November 12 (Jimmy's birthday) at 3 p.m. to receive a call. Saul gives Francesca cash and an attorney's business card, and tells her that if she needs help she should say "Jimmy" sent her. Saul and Walt both subsequently contact Ed, who sets up a new life for Saul as Gene, the manager of a Cinnabon in Omaha, Nebraska. Walt tries to persuade Saul to go with him instead of going to Omaha, and to contact hit men to kill his former dealing associate Jack Welker in retaliation for killing Hank, but Saul refuses. Walt tries to intimidate Saul but doubles over in a coughing fit. Saul leaves Walt in Ed's basement and begins his trip to Omaha.
Huell Babineaux. Perhaps the funniest character on Breaking Bad, the image of Huell’s massive body laying on wads of cash became iconic, as did his cumbersome antics with partner Patrick Kuby. Huell was a minder for the legendary crooked lawyer, Saul Goodman, and acted as low-level muscle.
Saul Goodman was so good, his character literally earned a spin-off show of his own. The sleazy but likeable lawyer helped Walter White and Jesse Pinkman get out of many legal scrapes, but it was his near-the-knuckle approach and loose interpretation to the law that made his character genuinely funny. Goodman’s role developed as the show aged, and in the end he was an integral character that many cannot forget.
The second woman in Jesse Pinkman’s life, Anrea Cantillo often offered stability and maturity that was much needed for him at the time. Sadly, it all ended in tears when Walter White pulled out his sadistic side and tried to kill her young son. Whilst Cantillo wasn’t the most exciting character on the show, she was certainly memorable.
Todd Alquist. Todd is one of Breaking Bad’s more intriguing characters. Starting off as a fairly naïve-seeming kid, we then see the influence his uncle Jack has on his behavior when he coldly kills an innocent child without thinking twice.
Jack Welker. Let’s face it, every show needs a real bad guy. As it happens, Jack Welker was exactly that. A murderous, psychotic Neo-Nazi, Welker entered the show in the later series and didn’t hesitate to grab power when it presented itself.
Badger and Skinny Pete were practically the same person and acted as some much-needed comic relief throughout the show’s overall bleak tone. The pair were friends with Jesse Pinkman and dabbled in meth and cannabis, acting as low-level dealers who just wanted to get high and play video games.
Hank Schrader. In a world full of crooks and bad guys, Hank was reliable, moral, and not only loyal to his job, but fiercely loyal to his family, too. In fact, it’s his character which drove most of the plotlines, keeping fans at the edge of their seats in anticipation of his discovery about Walt.
Breaking Bad was created by Vince Gilligan, who spent several years writing the Fox series The X-Files. Gilligan wanted to create a series in which the protagonist became the antagonist. "Television is historically good at keeping its characters in a self-imposed stasis so that shows can go on for years or even decades," he said. "When I realized this, the logical next step was to think, how can I do a show in which the fundamental drive is toward change?" He added that his goal with Walter White was to turn him from Mr. Chips into Scarface. Gilligan believed the concept of showing the full drastic transformation of a character across the run of a television show was a risky concept and would be difficult to pitch without other powerful factors to support it, such as strong cinematography and acting.
Michael Slovis was the cinematographer of Breaking Bad beginning with the second season and he received critical acclaim for his work throughout the series. Critics appreciated the bold visual style adopted by the TV series. Although series creator Vince Gilligan and Slovis wanted to shoot Breaking Bad in CinemaScope, Sony and AMC did not grant them permission. Gilligan cited Sergio Leone 's Westerns as a reference for how he wanted the series to look. Slovis received four Primetime Emmy Award nominations for Outstanding Cinematography for a One Hour Series and Outstanding Cinematography for a Single-Camera Series.
