[@Aperki2010]

You know, originally, Vince had hoped to get Matt Damon to play Todd. But, when life gives you Plemons...

[@danmedeiros6676]

whats your email, im gonna transfer you all my money

[@skermcgurt8681]

I think it’s better that it was Jesse. Matt Damon is too big of a name for me it would’ve messed up the immersion for me

[@f.s.1429]

You lie

[@Aperki2010]

You make Plemonade

[@dylsterdiscusses4260]

Whays weird is that when I saw young Jesse plemons in the show I was like he kinda looks like a young matt damon

[@TheCandlekane]

Todd was one of the freakiest characters on the whole show. He basically let Jesse Pinkman become enslaved to him and his gang to cook meth, but was acting like Jesse was his best friend. It was so weird. He never yelled, never looked angry, never seemed to think that the things he was doing was absolutely horrendous. Like he truly thought he and Jesse were friends

[@KutWrite]

Yes, whoever added that touch was genius.

[@jakedooley5300]

Well, yeah, that's because todd was the complete opposite of a normal person, jesse plemons did a great job of playing todd, is acting was amazing, aaron paul and Brian cranston were both amazing actors as well

[@davidmiles533]

Twist person

[@cupcakequeen0617]

I believe the two are BFFs in real life.

[@danielbrown1724]

I’ll never get over him killing Andrea. I feel they went way too far with that scene

[@GregMuniz7]

Should’ve let Jesse plemons talk a little more and shown more of his scenes

[@prasan7561]

When you can't call Jesse jesse

[@hello2jello4mellow34]

I love Jesse Plemons and his humility to the whole thing. Great actor!

[@entertainmentweekly]

Such a great actor!

[@KiwiPokerPlayer]

Plemons is a great actor. He starred in easily the best of the American Black Mirror episodes.

[@edwardbuck7233]

he's great in Fargo season 2 also

[@bobjones5869]

KiwiPokerPlayer best black mirror episode is be right back not callister

[@KiwiPokerPlayer]

@@bobjones5869 that's an English episode.

[@bobjones5869]

KiwiPokerPlayer english episodes are better than american ones

[@theburgerking746]

KiwiPokerPlayer maybe not the best but probably the best performance

[@Micah__]

I wish they would’ve shown the scene where Jesse watches Todd kill Andrea. Jesse’s reaction always gives me chills.

[@KutWrite]

Yeah. I'm saying "Noooo... !" right along with him. "This isn't personal." Pop!

[@mechadoggy]

Aaron Paul’s screams of anguish were honestly so beautiful. They’re more iconic to me than Edvard Munch’s Expressionist painting _The Scream_

[@randywyatt3676]

I'm sick of hearing about Plemons weight gain, with the acting chops he has & the singing scene he did, he could be 1000 pounds & I would have never noticed. Bravo Jesse, bravo!!!

[@c.j.9072]

14:10 to 14:32 Lmao Jesse Plemons reaction when He said He had it coming and your welcome literally inside the mind of Todd.

[@rebeccahopkins9522]

I’m with Aaron in that Four Days Out is also my favorite episode of Breaking Bad, tied with Fly and Felina. I can watch them endlessly. Even though Felina makes me cry, I still love it.

[@pgroenable]

Fly? Really? That was the most boring episode tbh.

[@rubeng3]

"Good morning world, it's a brand new day"

[@everydaywonderdog]

Omg imagining Penn Badgley as Jesse… breaking bad would’ve been an entirely different show!

[@seagullsoup]

No fucking way I ddint know who he was the searched it up and found out he played Joe in you?!?!?!? Holy shit that would've been soon different

[@YourFriendDevin]

Interviewer: “Wow you haven’t aged!” Aaron: “Yes I have. Look at me. I’m a baby.” Interviewer: “Wow you were such a baby!”

[@sleevelessace]

“Little fetus” were her words 😂😂😂

[@ZacBLive]

She’s not a good interviewer.

[@johnnyfs1988]

@@ZacBLive Na she did good. It felt more natural and let them talk without interruptions like those horrible late night shows with Kimmel or Fallon.

[@KutWrite]

@@johnnyfs1988: With all respect, Mr. White, they are not the good example to compare her with. She is amateurish. However, everyone has to start somewhere. The worst thing is the audio. I gave up trying to make out what they were saying and gave it a thumb down.

[@susanreynolds5624]

Jesse Plemons seemed to be brushed aside during this interview. He a great actor with depth and range. At times, Aaron attempted to shift the focus to his co-start, but the interviewer was not having it. Too bad, it was a lost opportunity for fans to learn more about Jesse. Her loss as well.

[@KutWrite]

She's probably new in the biz. At least she wasn't interrupting all the time as so many "names" do these days.

[@UdoADHD]

Yea I am actually more interested in Jesse Plemons than Aaron Paul

[@wobbafett2464]

yeah I didn't like the host at all she kept cutting off when aaron was shifting interest to jesse

[@kevinkibble8342]

You're not wrong about his range. I finished Fargo Season 2 recently and his character couldn't be any more different to Todd.

[@zacharyolson9020]

most likey cause he was only in the last season, he talked more at the end

[@Scotto6977]

The highest point of Aaron’s career before BB was The Price is Right

[@todd6900]

Nah it was that Juicy Fruit commercial 😂

[@gearoftones8585]

I love the guy who played Todd. What a great actor man. Nailed it.

[@KutWrite]

Who was Josh? I liked the guy who played Uncle Jack. You could sense his back story.

[@gearoftones8585]

@@KutWrite I meant Todd. I keep getting those two names mixed up for some reason!

[@liamrose.9]

@@KutWrite jack as well as his other gang members were interesting characters and villains for me. it was strange because gus was obviously a maniac and a psycho in his own right but he had that manner of professionalism to him, like there was business (meth empire) side to him which could get dark but also that charismatic side to him as well. but with jack and the rest of his gang, they were just pure evil. weird going from gus to that. no complaints though i loved the show and i always will. every actor played their role perfectly

[@liamrose.9]

The beauty of this show is how great it was on what was probably a relatively low budget. You can often do so much more with so much less.

[@TheBassHeavy]

I can't believe you didn't show the clip where Jesse kills Todd. Great video though.

[@coreydriver2483]

This was the quietest interview I've ever heard

[@gabzpot]

Great video, but you guys on EW needs to turn the volume up before upload to the KZbin.

[@Nogames2281]

Yes..thought it was just me but can barely hear at full volume

[@TheBassHeavy]

Well said!

[@KutWrite]

Horrible audio. I gave it a thumb-down for that.

[@kevinsmith7-7-7]

El Camino one of the better Netflix offerings this year

[@tutakcommachris]

Listen, great video. But can we turn the mics up on Aaron and Jesse and turn the volume for your couch surfing cutscene down? I gotta turn my tv up basically to the max trying to hear the actors but then when there’s a “commercial break” and the couch surfing logo pops on my screen I almost go deaf. Like come on whoever working the audio department gotta help us out a little bit.

[@KutWrite]

I gave it a thumb down for that. They should fire whoever OK'd it after post.

[@coin5207]

So ironoc that this guy's actual name is Jesse and Aaron Paul played a guy named Todd on Bojack Horseman

[@mattyd8462]

Awesome interview

[@bdr113080]

As a great as Aaron is I don’t think we have seen his best yet.

[@JoseMartinez-dn6xq]

Muy buena serie

[@alexcarlyle9219]

Aaron Paul is the farthest thing from Jesse Pinkman in real life. Lol.

[@MikeySea676]

I would love to ask Aaron about his weight during the show, especially in season 4 when Jesse was dealing with the aftermath of killing Gale. Walt came to visit at Jesse's house one night, and Jesse was cutting people's hair. This was the thinnest he had been in the show. After that point, into season 5, Jesse started bulking up. I'd love to know if that was part of the 'performance,' or if Aaron Paul just thought he had gotten too slender? His Jaw line in the hair cutting scene was crazy, he looked like he was literally starving to death, to me.

[@yagirlalyxx]

I think Aaron started bulking for another role. Prior to the final season he was only eating once a day to maintain Jesse’s slim appearance

[@manalsaadali]

Nice questions.

[@ev0nka_]

He said "He looked like a meth addict not in a bad way" 😂😂😂 hilarious, but that's not a really a good compliment but maybe he meant appearance wise that's what they needed for the role 😂😂 im glad they picked Aaron Paul he did such a great job...the show and the acting was amazing..i probably watched this show 5 tikes same with better call saul and el Camino..I always find something new i missed in the show
