As one of the most acclaimed shows of all time and featuring an award-winning ensemble, it is interesting to see the net worth of the Breaking Bad cast years after the show ended. Bryan Cranston led the cast of Breaking Bad as Walter White, the chemistry teacher and family man who became a ruthless drug lord. As iconic as Walt was as a character, the show featured a terrific cast of characters who filled out this world with several of the actors on the show winning Emmys and other awards for their performances.
Breaking Bad ended in 2013 with some of the cast appearing in the spinoff and sequels that followed. However, given the careers of some of the cast members, it is interesting to see the net worth of the Breaking Bad actors years later. Some of these actors are almost exclusively known for their roles on Breaking Bad while others have gone on to bigger success after breaking out on the show. There are also some cast members with unexpected other career paths fans might not have known (via Celebrity Net Worth).
Breaking Bad is available to stream on Netflix.
Breaking Bad Cast & Character Guide
From Bryan Cranston to Aaron Paul to Giancarlo Esposito, the cast of Breaking Bad is full of great actors playing morally complicated characters.
20 Lavell Crawford (Huell Babineaux)
Net Worth - $500,000
One of the biggest questions left unanswered in the series is what happened to Huell after Breaking Bad. Huell was the large and mostly silent enforcer who worked for Saul Goodman. He was seen intimidating Ted Beneke and helped to move Walter White's money when he was getting out of the drug business. Better Call Saul also showed that he was a talented pickpocket. Though he operated in a shady world, Huell was shown to be a laidback and fairly gentle person.
Crawford's work in television mostly comes from his voice-over work on shows like Aqua Teen Hunger Force.
Lavell Crawford's net worth stands at $500,000. While his Breaking Bad role led to more acting work as Huell in Better Call Saul, Crawford's work in television mostly comes from his voice-over work on shows like Aqua Teen Hunger Force. He has also appeared in a couple of Adam Sandler's Netflix comedy movies. However, Crawford is best known as a stand-up comedian and has built a successful career in that industry over the years.
19 Steven Michael Quezada (Steve Gomez)
Net Worth - $2 Million
Steven Michael Quezada is one of the few Breaking Bad cast members who is actually a native of Albuquerque, where the show was filmed on location. Playing Steven Gomez, the DEA agent and partner to Hank on the series is one of his most notable roles. Steve was a supporting character in the series but part of some of the biggest scenes including the desert shootout in which he and Hank were killed by Uncle Jack and his men.
Quezada holds a net worth of $2 million which is impressive given that he only started acting in movies recently, starting with the TV movie Three Wise Guys in 2005. In addition to appearing in an episode of Better Call Saul, he has also had small roles in Roswell, New Mexico, and appeared in movies like 3 From Hell and Wish Man.
