Breaking Bad - Season 5 - Q&A with Jesse Plemons (Todd)

Actor Jesse Plemons, who plays Walt's new apprentice Todd on Breaking Bad, talks about the perils of being typecast as a killer and dishes on his own feelings about big spiders.

Q: When you signed up to play Todd, did you have any idea what kind of character he would become?

A: No, but I could see the look in all the writers' eyes when I would ask them. All that was released initially was something saying that he was a good soldier, easy to please and totally innocuous but with something more going on. The audition scene was a military one, where I was defending myself to these officers after something that just happened. A similar situation. But I didn't know it was going to be this innocent kid [that Todd shoots]!
