“Breaking Bad” Actor Helps Co-Star In New Mexico Election | KRWG

Two “Breaking Bad” stars who tried to nab drug lords in the fictional AMC-TV series are trying to shake up the New Mexico political scene in real life.

KOB-TV reports Dean Norris, who played DEA agent Hank Schrader on the show, is campaigning for Steven Michael Quezada, who is running for the Bernalillo County Commission. Quezada played DEA agent, “Gomey,” in the series.

Norris was back in Albuquerque last week urging residents to register to vote. He then attended events with Quezada.

The 52-year-old Quezada, an elected Albuquerque Public Schools board member, is one of four candidates seeking a District 2 commission seat.

Quezada says Bob Odenkirk, who played a sleazy lawyer Saul Goodman on “Breaking Bad” and spinoff “Better Call Saul,” also will campaign on his behalf.
