3. Little Miss Sunshine
The 2006 heart-warming tale about a family trying to get their daughter to a ''Little Miss Sunshine'' beauty contest, was a huge hit. Directed by husband-wife team of Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris, the film with a very modest budget went on to rake in over $100 Million at the box office. As the family embark on their 800 mile trip to the beauty contest, they run into a number of problems on the way and one happens to be State Trooper McCleary. And it won't surprise you that it is Dean Norris playing another police officer. When Norris walks into any audition, they must initially think the man is there to conduct a raid or question them before they cast him as a police officer. Another interesting/not really interesting bit of trivia linking Little Miss Sunshine and Breaking Bad is that both are set in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
