Looks like he was born to play Jesse…
While the character of Jessie Pinkman has definitely moved on a lot over the course of Breaking Bad, it seems the kernel of character was in Aaron Paul from day one.
The actor’s audition tape for the part of Jesse contains a few slips but it is pretty clear that he’s the ideal man for the job. We certainly can’t imagine anyone else in the part now.

And while we’re here, as it is Aaron’s birthday today (he turns 34) have a look at an even better ‘before he was famous tape’ when Paul was a contestant on The Price is Right in 1998.
Amazing.
