Jesse Plemons Will Be ‘Breaking Bad’ Next Season

Of course, we have no idea in what context or for how long Jesse Plemons will be joining the saga that is Breaking Bad, but still, Landry, am I right?

The addition of Friday Night Lights star Plemons to the cast of the acclaimed AMC drama comes seemingly minutes after it was announced that his network TV show, Bent, had been cancelled. On Breaking Bad, Plemons will play a guy named Todd who is “a dependable, innocuous, working-class guy,” which we all know on Breaking Bad means that he’s going to end up killing babies and putting his whole family in danger.

Of course, Plemons is not stranger to complicated criminal conspiracies, after his Landry character killed Tyra’s stalker in one of the most contrived and disappointing TV subplots of my life. Maybe they’ll just redo that whole storyline for Breaking Bad, where it won’t seem quite so ridiculous. Also…

Crucifictorious.

With his film The Master saved from the blazes of Development Hell thanks to that cool billionaire chick, PT Anderson is ready to cast that sumbitch up. There’s news today that Jesse Plemons “Friday Night Lights“) and David Warshofsky (There Will Be Blood) have joined the cast as characters who may or may not be bludgeoned with a bowling pin.

Plemons will play the son of Philip Seymour Hoffman‘s cult leader and Warshofsky will play a detective in the Scientology-skewering film. These are undoubtedly career-boosting roles in a sure-to-be high profile film. Good for them. Too bad they’ll never work in this town again. (Variety)
