Breaking Bad
Luck smiled on the actor in 2008 when he was offered the lead role in the series "Breaking Bad," created by Vince Gilligan. The actor plays a young man named Pinkman, a former student of chemistry teacher Walter White, now a hopeless drug addict.Walter, portrayed by Bryan Cranston, is battling cancer. His older son is about to go to college, and they are expecting a second child, but his family has almost no means to live. Inspired by a TV story about a drug lord, Walter decides to use his chemistry knowledge to get rich in an illegal way. He knows how to cook the purest methamphetamine but has no idea how the industry works. This is where Jesse Pinkman comes in to help him. This is the beginning of an epic story that lasted 5 seasons.
The most challenging scene for Aaron was the one where his girlfriend dies—he imagined it was really happening to him.I made myself believe that I was living Jesse's life, and everything happening to him in the script was actually happening to me.
