'Better Call Saul' reveals Breaking Bad spinoff supporting characters

Breaking Bad fans likely already knew that Bob Odenkirk and Jonathan Banks would return as Saul Goodman and Mike Ehrmantraut, respectively, for the spinoff, Better Call Saul. But now, we have more information about the supporting cast of characters.

E! Online reports that the new AMC show is looking for multiple parts, including Dr. Thrurber, a brilliant laywer in his 50s who is hampered by "an unusual affliction." Beth is a successful lawyer who has had a difficult life, thanks in part to her own romantic involvements with someone else at the law firm. There's also Burt, a "Kennedy type" who is extremely successful and a name partner at another firm.

Other characters include Eddy, an intelligent criminal who knows what he's doing, and twin brothers Zack and Luke, who pass the time skateboarding and scamming others.

Aaron Paul, who famously played Jesse Pinkman on Breaking Bad, revealed in an interview published by the AP that he has had "serious talks" with Gilligan about revisiting the character in Better Call Saul.

"Anything Vince is involved with, I'm there," Paul said in an interview to promote his movie Need For Speed. "I owe him my entire career. And the idea of jumping into the skin of Jesse Pinkman again in his lighter days - because it's all a prequel - it would be fun."

Fans will recall that before Jesse teamed with Walt, he was just a small time meth dealer who used the name "Captain Cook."
