Breaking Bad/Trivia: Difference between revisions

* [[Life Imitates Art]]: Meth being smuggled by way of hiding it in food shipments. It's not exactly fry batter, but [http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/12/12/drugs-hidden-in-nacho-cheese_n_1143879.html?ncid=txtlnkushuff00000001 nacho cheese] is close.

** There's a picture going around the internet of a pair of real-life meth cooks who were arrested... an older guy with a shaved head and goatee, and a younger, skinny, scruffy guy. Of course, the cooks probably chose their looks on purpose because they liked the show.

** Jane's dad is [[Star Trek: The Next Generation|Q]].

** Skyler is [[Deadwood|Mrs Bullock]].

** Tortuga is [[Danny Trejo]].

** Hector Salamanca and Don Eladio are played by [[Scarface|Alberto and Manny]], respectively.

** While Bryan Cranston was not an exclusively comedic actor before the series, by far his most famous role was as the [[Bumbling Dad]] on ''[[Malcolm in the Middle]]''. To put it mildly, Walter will be quite a departure for his fans from that show.

** Apparently Cranston had specifically taken the role [[Playing Against Type|because it was so different]] from both [[Malcolm in the Middle|Hal]] and every other bumbling dad role he'd been offered around the time. Read that how you will.
