'Breaking Bad' TV Star in the Area Today to Promote New Film

Aaron Paul, who stars in the hit AMC drama as Jesse Pinkman, will answer questions and talk about "Smashed," a film targeting alcoholism. Tickets are $10 and seating is limited.

The two-time Emmy winner, actor Aaron Paul of TVs Breaking Bad, will be in Laguna Niguel on Saturday night to promote his new film, Smashed.

The comedy-drama is about a married couple whose relationship – built on a mutual love of alcohol – gets tested when the wife, played by actress, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, decides to get sober, says IMDb.

Since Breaking Bad premiered in 2008, Paul has starred with Bryan Cranston in the series created and produced by Vince Gilligan. The drama takes place in Albuquerque,, and centers on Cranston's character, Walter White, a high school chemistry teacher who is diagnosed with advanced lung cancer at the beginning of the series. He later turns to a life of crime, producing and selling methamphetamine with his former student, Jesse Pinkman played by Paul. White's main objective is making sure his family's financial future is intact before he dies.
