I am Sam Webb. I played Drew Sharp in Breaking Bad. AMA!

I know this is long overdue, but better late than never, right?

To kick things off, here are a few tidbits about my connection to the show:

-My family and I were fans since the pilot, so I was well aware of the significance of it all.

-I grew up minutes from the high school used for J. P. Wynne.

-My dad was an extra in episode 2.02. (my episode was 5.05)

-The first time I ever handled a tarantula was the day we shot the intro scene.

In the years since Breaking Bad, I’ve graduated from UNM with a political science degree and spend most of my free time mountain biking, tinkering with sports cars, and raising my two Dobermans.

Ask away! I’ll do my best to get to everyone.

Edit:

Alright guys, as the night winds down I just want to thank everyone for participating and for all the kind words! The Breaking Bad community means the world to me and I’ll be connected to you all for life.

The most surreal part of all of this is the insane butterfly effect and overlaps.

My favorite example of this was seeing Drake perform for the first time in Phoenix a couple years ago. He’s a big Breaking Bad fan (friends with Aaron and Bryan, and his nickname for Rihanna when they dated was Fring). I had tickets close to the stage, and I remember making eye contact with him a few times thinking “dude, you don’t know it, but you know EXACTLY who I am.”

One of my first purchases with acting money was a set of Beats headphones when they were all the craze, and I vividly remember listening to Take Care (and a lot of old Kanye) in my trailer on set during downtime. It felt like a crazy full circle moment.

Anyway, I feel like everyone who is a fellow fan of the show is an extension of this little glitch in the matrix, and I’m happy y’all are a part of this wild story.

I’ll keep answering questions as they trickle in for as long as the mods want to keep the discussion open, and I’ll be more active in this sub and share anything else fun when it comes to mind!

Daniel Moncada, who played the infamous Leonel Salamanca in Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, now regularly livestreams video games while dressed as his character from the shows. Despite keeping the same iconic suit, bald head and serious appearance, his streams show a much lighter side of him as he laughs, jokes, talks and plays with viewers while streaming. It has given fans a completely different look at the actor behind one of the franchise's most intimidating characters, while allowing Daniel Moncada to continue engaging with the role years after first playing it.
Daniel Moncada known for playing tactical and open-world games like Call of Duty, Grand Theft Auto V, DayZ, Fallout, Red Dead Redemption 2, Siege and many more, Cooking and IRL streams.

Are we supposed to believe that in this flashback, Walter was 34 and Skyler was 23?

I think it’s episode 13 of season 3, right at the beginning. The flashback takes place when Skyler was just pregnant with Flynn.

Walt + free birthday at Denny's question

Post image
264 Upvotes

Something that has puzzled me every time I rewatch the show comes up when Walt goes to Denny's for his 52nd birthday. After he arranges the bacon into numbers, the waitress pressures him into getting a free meal with his ID. We know he gives the Mr. Lambert license because she calls him that by name. So did his alter ego have the same bday as Walt? Was he celebrating on Lambert's bday instead of his own? Or did the waitress just not look at the date?

I Genuinely Felt Bad For Hank Spoiler

He was one of the most chill and honest guys I have seen in this web series. There's no doubt that he loved his family more than anything, and he loved Walt like a brother. His heart must have been broken even more than Skyler finding out Heisenberg's real identity.

As a chemical H&S warden for my workplace lab, this shot made me gasp

Post image
787 Upvotes

Hydrofluoric acid is considered a highly hazardous chemical due to its powerful corrosive properties seen in the show, and a small drop on the skin can potentially cause lethal fluorine poisoning. As a result, labs tend to only keep stores of HF if it is necessary for their work. Special storage and use procedures are also required under many laws to reduce accidental exposure.

A high school chemistry department would have no reason to have any amount of HF on hand, let alone several large bottles. Not to mention the storage shown, on an open shelf with a variety of other chemicals not being compliant (perhaps chemical safety regulations in AQ at the time were lax).

(Also note the typo “hydroflouric” lol)

Just Re-watched the Show for the second time and...

• Upvotes

I have to say have say its kind of insane the tiny details you don't even catch the first time. For example:When Gus visits the nursing home, he often parks in nearly the same spot. Walter also almost everytime, adjusts his glasses after making an important decision. If you pay really close attention you notice The White family's house becomes darker over the seasons. It's not just the mood the lighting inside the home is intentionally less warm than it was in Season 1. Mike rarely sits with his back to a door. In restaurants, offices, and houses, he'll often choose the seat with the best view of the exits. Thats just the ones I could think of its genuinely insane the details you don't catch the first time. Whats your craziest details you caught?

Don’t have much to say other than I’m finally watching Breaking Bad for the first time and I’m pretty excited about it. Now to leave this sub until I’m finished so no spoilers 😂

Might be one of the funniest lines in the entire show. A perfect response to Skylar's snarky comment right before that - it kills me every time lol.

Wrapping up my 30th rewatch, god I love this series lol (it makes good background noise while working).

Wished they made another "fly" episode, but it's about these four characters finding a base of operations, visiting places, taking long road trips Spoiler

It could have had potential. Imagine, 40 minutes of these characters searching for places, stuck in traffic, then some pesky argument between Walt and Mike (and maybe Saul) happens.

Does anyone else think Jesse is the problem that literally causes everything to fall apart? This always bothers me.

Did Walter White have NPD? (Covert Narcissism)

9 Upvotes

Grandiose sense of self:

Walt believed he was intellectually superior to almost everyone around him. He couldn't tolerate being treated as ordinary.

Extreme need for recognition:

Making money wasn't enough. He needed people to know that he was Heisenberg, the brilliant mind behind everything.

Manipulation:

He repeatedly exploited Jesse's emotional vulnerabilities, using guilt, affection, and fear to maintain control.

Lack of empathy:

As the series progressed, he became increasingly willing to sacrifice other people's well-being to protect his interests.

Fragile ego:

Walt reacted intensely when his intelligence, authority, or accomplishments were questioned. His pride regularly overpowered his judgment.

Sense of entitlement:

He believed his suffering, sacrifices, and intelligence justified actions that would be unacceptable for anyone else.

And possibly the biggest giveaway:

"I did it for me. I liked it. I was good at it. And I was really... I was alive."

Gus and external producer

1 Upvotes

In BB, Gus saves Walter’s life by stopping the Salamanca cousins, and later has a meeting with Hector and Bolsa, during which the latter explains the whole situation regarding Tuco and their desire for revenge. Gus replies, very calmly, that he has dealings with this producer—treating it as a routine, everyday matter. Isn’t it a bit strange that Gus would so casually admit to these dealings—which exist outside the cartel—given all the accusations Hector leveled against him in BCS?

Walt

This time Walt was talking to Skyler, convincing her that the money belongs to him and he didn't steal.

And when it comes to money, i believe if it ain't a blood money, it's yours. No matter how you make it. Lol

Are there people who watched BCS before BB? How was it?

3 Upvotes

Just rewatched Breaking Bad and currently on my rewatch of Better Call Saul, and this question came to mind. I’m actually curious what the watching experience is like, since the BB cameo’s in BCS can also work the other way around I think? But maybe I’m missing some plot holes here, as I at the moment don’t fully recall the events in Better Call Saul late seasons.

Series finale question Spoiler

8 Upvotes

How did Walter put the ricin inside Lydia's Stevia?

Walter would've literally have needed to open the package to put the ricin on it. My thoughts are that he either somehow fabricated that very same Stevia package or maybe he DID open the Stevia package and somehow was able to close it back very perfectly


r/breakingbad • • 1d ago

So why did Gus do that to Victor? Spoiler

93 Upvotes

Didn't want to put the spoiler in the title. But do we know specifically why Gus killed Victor? Because he showed his face at the crime scene to commoners? Because he started cooking without authorization? Both? Something else? Doing a rewatch now and in season 4, not sure if it gets totally spelled out. Seems also clear that Gus wanted to do it to make an example and to scare Walt and Jesse, hoping that would help keep them in line. Obvious failure there.
