Breaking Bad: 12 Best Cult Heroes

12. Huell Babineaux

Ah, Huell. Saul Goodman's menacing (but curiously loveable) henchman was given a fantastically comedic undertone by professional stand-up Lavell Crawford. The quieter of the lawyer's bodyguard duo, he eclipsed the more talkative Kuby in the audience's affections thanks to several hilarious scenes, especially when taking an impromptu rest on Walt's bed-sized pile of cash. However, Huell wasn't merely used for laughs. He played a crucial role in the convoluted ricin plot, pick-pocketing the poisonous cigarette from Jesse, and terrified Ted Beneke into tripping on a rug and breaking his neck - a satisfying fate to befall one of the show's most infuriating characters. The bodyguard became one of the season's most beloved minor characters - and the subject of countless internet memes - because of the charming juxtaposition between his outward menace and naive, childlike persona. Huell was last seen waiting in a safehouse for Hank and Gomez's return, having been instructed to stay there. He's probably still there now.
