Aaron Paul Says That Better Call Saul Is His Last Performance Of Jesse Pinkman

While speaking with THR, Breaking Bad alum Aaron Paul revealed that his appearance in the spinoff series Better Call Saul was the final call for his work with the role of Jesse Pinkman. This is the third and last production in which the character has appeared. Producer/creator Vince Gilligan does have a new series in the works, but it isn’t a part of the Breaking Bad universe. You can read a couple highlights from Paul’s interview below.

On saying goodbye to the Pinkman role: “It’s kinda like reconnecting with a very familiar friend. You can be away from that friend for some time, but when you are back in each other’s company, it’s like no time has passed. We all know our characters so well having played them for years, so it felt good. I love Pinkman. He will always have a special place inside of me, but I can confidently say that [Better Call Saul] was the last time we’re going to see Pinkman. So it was a nice farewell.”

On the surprise of having a cameo in Better Call Saul: “I’m such a huge fan of the show, but I didn’t see how they were going to do it. And when the call came, I was half a season behind, and so I didn’t really know where the timeline was going. But from the moment they called me, I said, ‘Yeah, they figured it out. They knew how to do it.’ So it was truly a dream to be back in this universe that Vince, Peter [Gould], Tom [Schnauz] and all the writers created.”
