10 Other Breaking Bad Characters Who Should Get A Spin-Off

3. Tortuga

Life turned out okay for Danny Trejo. Eventually. After spending more than a decade behind bars for armed robbery among other offences, Trejo turned his life around and worked as a drugs counsellor (because if Danny Trejo tells you to quit drugs, you quit drugs) before becoming a go-to Hollywood bad guy and popping up in the likes of Con Air, Heat and Desperado. No great shock really €“ with a gallery of tats, a bellyful of muscle and a face you could sharpen knives on, you wouldn€™t want to run into Trejo in a dark alley. Or a bright alley, or one behind a police station. Just no. Trejo showed up in Breaking Bad as Juarez Cartel drug runner-turned informer Tortuga, managing to rile up Hank in his brief appearance by idly flipping through a catalogue and smoking a cigar while lording it over the DEA. His exit from the show was one of the show€™s most memorable moments, his severed head being attached to a tortoise and used by his former colleagues as a stealth bomb. The tortoise may have ultimately won out against the cocky hare, but he would have managed it a damn sight quicker if he€™d had the foresight to fill a drug dealer€™s head with explosives and strap it to his back. A Tortuga spin-off €“ think Donnie Brasco meets Traffic €“ looking at the character€™s double-dealings could be explosive. Sorry.

I watch movies and I watch sport. I also watch movies about sport, and if there were a sport about movies I'd watch that too. The internet was the closest thing I could find.
