WHERE ARE THEY NOW?

Two of Breaking Bad’s breakout characters, Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk) and Mike Ehrmantraut (Jonathan Banks), found a home on AMC’s prequel/ spinoff Better Call Saul, which dials up a second season Feb. 15 (10 p.m. ET/PT). USA TODAY looks at where other B

BRYAN CRANSTON

WALTER WHITE

To Bad fans, he’ll always be the one who knocks, but Cranston has carved out a remarkable stage and screen résumé since hanging up the hazmat suit. He has balanced blockbusters ( Godzilla, Kung Fu Panda 3) with artier fare, earning his first Academy Award nomination this year for Trumbo. In May, he’ll reprise his Tony Award-winning performance as President Lyndon B. Johnson in HBO’s All the Way.

AARON PAUL

JESSE PINKMAN

Yeah, science! Walt’s protégé has been busy since he was freed from meth-dealing white supremacists. Starring in videogame adaptation Need for

Speed and the upcoming Triple 9, Paul also has made his mark on streaming shows. In the animated BoJack Horseman, he voices lovable slacker roommate Todd; and in Hulu’s The

Path (premiering March 30), he plays a doubting cult member.

ANNA GUNN

SKYLER WHITE

Walt’s wary wife earned two Emmy Awards for her potent performance. Since then, she has made comic cameos on

The Mindy Project and Portlandia, played a detective in Fox’s Gracepoint and starred in female-driven Wall Street movie Equity, which premiered at Sundance last month.

RJ MITTE

WALT JR., AKA “FLYNN”

The Whites’ breakfast-starved son also has an appetite for modeling. Since Bad, Mitte has shot spreads for Dark Beauty magazine and Gap and made his runway debut at Vivienne Westwood’s Milan show last summer. He has done some acting, too, with roles in

Switched at Birth and indie

drama Dixieland.

DEAN NORRIS

HANK SCHRADER

Norris’ righteous DEA agent was the antithesis of his next TV role: corruptible councilman “Big Jim” Rennie on Stephen King adaptation Under

the Dome. Though the series lasted just three seasons on CBS, Norris has popped up in other series such as Unbreakable

Kimmy Schmidt and Sons of Liberty and has two movies due this year: The Book of Henry and Fist Fight.

BETSY BRANDT

MARIE SCHRADER

Skyler’s snooping, supportive sister has had perhaps the most flourishing small-screen career of any Bad alum. Although The Michael J. Fox

Show was canceled after one season, Brandt has since checked into Children’s Hospital, Parenthood, Masters of Sex and Axe Cop. Now, she’s a regular on CBS’ freshman family comedy Life in Pieces.
