10 TV Shows That Cast Major Actors (Just To Die)
6. Danny Trejo - Breaking Bad
B-movie veteran Danny Trejo already had hundreds of movie and TV credits to his name before appearing on Breaking Bad, being best known for his performances in films such as Heat, Desperado, From Dusk Till Dawn, and Con Air.
Trejo then made an absolutely unforgettable appearance in Breaking Bad's season two episode "Negro y Azul," playing a Cartel drug runner by the name of Tortuga (as in, tortoise).
Trejo appears in just two brief scenes, before his severed, explosive-laden head shows up later in the episode placed on top of a tortoise in order to attack the DEA.
Trejo did return for a brief flashback scene, however, in season three's "I.F.T.," which shows him being both gifted the tortoise and promptly decapitated for speaking to the DEA.
While it would've been great to see an actor of Trejo's badassery spend longer in this world, he certainly earned one of the best and most memorable deaths in the entire series.
