Finding the person inside the role
Aaron Paul was born in Emmett, Idaho, on 27 August 1979. Before becoming widely known, he built experience through television appearances, including a recurring part in Big Love.
His breakthrough came as Jesse Pinkman in Breaking Bad. Playing opposite Bryan Cranston, Paul followed Jesse through fear, loyalty and the consequences of his choices; the performance earned him three supporting-actor Primetime Emmy Awards.
Paul returned to Jesse in the 2019 film El Camino. His work also extends to action in Need for Speed and voice acting as Todd Chavez in BoJack Horseman, illustrating an ability to move between live action and animation.
