Breaking Bad & Better Call Saul: Every Character Ranked Worst To Best

27. Jack Welker

Walt and Jesse's final enemy in Breaking Bad, Jack Welker is a vicious white supremacist with a desire to exploit Heisenberg's power and make a name for himself.

Portrayed with cold intensity by Michael Bowen, Jack is thoroughly detestable and uncompromising, infamously killing Hank Schrader and spending his last days torturing Jesse within an inch of his life.

This is all well and good from a story standpoint, but in the end it's hard to see Jack as little more than a one-note antagonist, thrown into the mix as a plot device destined to die. Sure, he's scary and mean, but what else?

I get to write about what I love, so that's pretty cool. Every great film should seem new every time you see it. Be excellent to each other.
