7. Jesse Pinkman in Breaking Bad (2008) Walter White might’ve been the main protagonist ofBreaking Bad, butJesse Pinkmanrepresented another kind of protagonist. While the tale of Walter White saw the former high school chemistry teacher pave his own way to the almighty gates of Hell, the tale of Jesse Pinkman centered on a young man who just wanted to make some quick cash, only to be dragged down to Hell against his will....
