Even if they're not the first state to immortalize fictional characters, it's nice to see New Mexico pay tribute to the two Breaking Bad characters that played a role in giving the state its most national exposure ever. The state recently unveiled statues of iconic Breaking Bad characters Walter White and Jesse Pinkman, all while having various actors from both Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul attend the unveiling.
Among those who attended the event were Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul for obvious reasons. Alongside them were Dean Norris, who played Hank Schrader, Vince Gilligan, the show's creator, and Peter Gould, who produced and wrote his fair share of the show. The Better Call Saul alumni included Rhea Seehorn, who played Kim Wexler, Michael Mando, who played Nacho Varga, and Patrick Fabian, who played Howard Hamlin.

Photos of the event were shared on Twitter by longtime Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul writer Thomas Schnauz. At the ceremony, Paul expressed his appreciation for all that Breaking Bad did for him. «I auditioned for Breaking Bad, and it completely changed my life,» he said, according to a report from Entertainment Weekly. «So thank you so much, thank you to Albuquerque — my God, we were here for seven years on and off. It was such a huge part of my life; it still is.» Cranston on the other hand made jokes at the ceremony. «We're humbled by this,» Cranston began. «We're delighted, slightly embarrassed to have statues of you.
