I'm not trying to shyt on his career at all. I just think people will probably always think of him as Jesse Pinkman. Same way I always thought of Duchovney as Mulder, although he escaped it a bit with Californication.
I think what I should have said was it's very rare for TV stars to transition well into movies. Although that's more rare these days, with the higher quality level of TV, and there's a lot of crossover actors that do both. But the 90's and even 00's to a degree saw a ton of TV actors that could never break through into movies, and some couldn't escape people viewing them as their tv character.
I wish Aaron Paul all the best. I'll probably always think of Pinkman when I see him, but I hope I'm wrong. He's talented and I'm sure he'll go on to do great things. Esposito went from Breaking Bad to Revolution, that's all I'm saying, lol. You just never know. Anything can happen, I guess.
