Breaking Bad’s own Aaron Paul, the man most famous for playing Jesse Pinkman, has scored a role in an entirely different world. The actor has signed on for a role in the third season of Westworld, to be precise.
Deadline confirms the actor will be taking on a role in the sci-fi drama series. Though the showrunners are remaining tight-lipped on the character, the publication reports Aaron will be a series regular.
Aaron starred in Breaking Bad for five seasons from 2008 until 2013. The actor nabbed himself a Primetime Emmy Award, Screen Actors Guild Award and was even nominated for a Golden Globe for his role as Jessie. He most recently appeared in Hulu series The Path, before signing on to star in Westworld.
Aaron shared his excitement in a post on Twitter.
“I feel like I’m in a dream Dolores. Can you wake me up from this dream?” he wrote, hashtagging the show in his tweet.
The HBO series, which airs on Showcase in Australia, also stars Evan Rachel Wood (Dolores Abernathy), Thandie Newton (Maeve Millay), James Marsden (Teddy Flood), Jeffrey Wright (Bernard Lowe) Ed Harris (Man in Black) and Anthony Hopkins (Dr. Robert Ford).
Westworld season three is expected to premiere in 2019, stay tuned for more updates!
