Jesse Pinkman | Breaking Bad

[hostage]

• His middle name is Bruce. I like to think he's named after Batman. Probably not, though.
• His surname is a nod to Reservoir Dogs. He's the "Mr. Pink" to Walt's "Mr. White".
• He was supposed to die at the end of season 1, but the writers' strike saved him by giving the writers some time to deliberate and they ultimately decided they liked Aaron Paul too much. (What would the show even be without him?)
• He smokes Parliaments. One of the cigarettes in his pack contains a ricin capsule. You know, for emergency use.
• He makes a lot of pop culture references and is apparently a fan of comics, Sonic games, Rage, and the Lord of the Rings films. He also loves the Discovery Channel and reality TV, particularly Ice Road Truckers.
• He attended DeVry University. But not for long. He studied data systems management, whatever that means. He doesn't even know.
• He is indirectly responsible for the deaths of almost 200 people (including children!) and directly responsible for the murder of one very innocent person - a fact which haunts him endlessly.
• He likes to draw, he took kung fu lessons as a kid (blue belt!), he's a decent carpenter and engineer, and he played drums (badly) and provided vocals (badly) for an alt-emo-thrash-metal band called TwaughtHammer. Overall, he's an artistic guy with lots of skills but no drive or direction.
• He has been kidnapped or held at gunpoint over 15 times throughout the series and is one of the most (if not the most) battered characters on television. He has a visible injury of some kind for ~20 episodes out of 54.
• His favorite color is red. If he can purchase an appliance or cell phone or car in red, you bet your ass that's his choice color.
• He was raised Presbyterian and his family is a bunch of wealthy WASPs. Predictably, he's the black sheep and they pretend he doesn't exist.
• Back home, he's off-and-on dating a lovely lady named Andrea Cantillo and helping to raise her son, Brock, who he's pretty much adopted as his own. So yeah, Jesse Pinkman is kind of someone's father. It works out as well as you'd expect.
