12 Perfect 2020 Castings We Can't Wait To See
2. Aaron Paul - Westworld
The momentum generated from one of the greatest first seasons in television history was somewhat derailed by a slightly stagnant second season for HBO's Westworld. It was always going to be hard to live up to the hype the series had so deservedly garnered for itself and no doubt the second season suffered from those expectations. Although a decent effort, season 2 just couldn't grip the attention or turn the narrative with the mind-boggling finesse that the first season had managed.
Therefore, some damage control was needed for season 3 and it would appear an absolute masterstroke on the show-runner's part to bring in one of the most beloved actors of this generation in Aaron Paul. Many viewers had the pleasure of watching Aaron grow as an actor under his self-confessed tutelage from Bryan Cranston and the work put in shows through each gripping season of the meth-cooking powerhouse of television.
Paul is now in his own right one of the finest actors working in film and T.V. today and, although his role is not abundantly clear as of yet on the show, his addition to Westworld can only be a positive for a show trying to recapture the magic of its stunning beginnings.
