1. Walter White

Walter (Bryan Cranston) is arguably one of the best characters not only in 'Breaking Bad,' but in the history of TV. One of the most famous villains in American history was once an ordinary but reserved family man who was dying of an illness.

As the program progresses, the viewer learns more about Walt's past, which makes him more understandable. By the end of the show, Walt has turned everyone against him, and he dies, even though he has conquered the disease that caused his personality change.



 

2. Jesse Pinkman

Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul), one of the main characters alongside Walt, is a complex and fascinating figure who later collaborates with his high school chemistry teacher to make meth. Jesse is often unfairly portrayed as Walt's sidekick, even though he has more street smarts than Walt. Jesse brings his unique advantages to the team and had several memorable moments throughout the show.



 

3. Saul Goodman

One of the best characters in 'Breaking Bad' is Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk), a dynamic character who was so outstanding that he got his own spin-off. The defense attorney who represents Walt and Jesse dominates practically every scene he appears in, playing an important role in Heisenberg's plan from the very first moment.



 

4. Hank Schrader

Hank Schrader (Dean Norris), everyone's favorite DEA, is a terrific character who appears in some of 'Breaking Bad's best scenes. In front of the camera he had to deal with Tuco, the twins, Walt, Jesse and the Neo-Nazi group, among others. Many believe that Hank should be the next 'Breaking Bad' character to earn his own spin-off series.



 

5. Mike Ehrmantraut

Mike is one of the best characters in both 'Breaking Bad' and 'Better Call Saul,' thanks to Jonathan Banks' outstanding, reliable performance and the excellent characterization by the writing team.
