Breaking Bad Cast: Where Are They Now?

Giving one of the most memorable and tragically short-lived performances on the show, Krysten Ritter wowed audiences with her endearing and ill-fated role as Jesse Pinkman's love interest Jane Margolis.

Since leaving Breaking Bad in 2010, Ritter workload has increased tenfold thanks to lead roles in shows like Don't Trust the B---- In Apartment 23 and Jessica Jones, where she played the title characters in both shows to rave reviews.

Ritter hasn't stuck to TV, though, and has had striking roles in films such as Killing Bono, Margaret, and the brilliant The Hero, where she gives perhaps her best performance as the troubled daughter of Sam Elliot's ageing movie star.

If that wasn't enough, she also headlines a band with childhood friend Thomas Burnett called Ex Vivian, and in 2017 released a novel called Bonfire to positive reviews. Her most recent movie, Nightbooks, recently premiered on Netflix.
