What is the name of the actor from Breaking Bad who had the A- tattoo on his arm?

I have been searching for this person’s name for years, after people have pointed out my own blood type tattoo. Mine is for medical reasons. Anyway, after having people jokingly reference the scene where Jesse says, “A minus? Why not an A plus?” I haven’t been able to find the scene online, or the actor’s name on any website. I found a website that once named one of the rival characters as being portrayed by “Lauren (can’t remember the last name)”. They didn’t have a picture for that actor/actress. It’s like they removed all content online that has that actor/actress in it. Any ideas on who portrayed that person?

Since most everyone is saying they can’t find or remember that scene from Breaking Bad, is it possible it is from that immensely forgettable (and bad) Netflix sequel movie that came out in like ‘17 or ‘18?

Out of curiosity I did some searching yesterday and the only thing I turned up was this post. I didn't realize search engines crawled the Fediverse!

Hope you find what you're looking for. ✌️

I just binged breaking bad last month and I gotta tell ya, I don't really remember any scene like this. Maybe start looking at other Aaron Paul work, I think you're mistaken about it being from BB.

Good luck!

I've watched BB a few times but I can't say I recognise the reference. Still, if you're sure that's the line he says, try searching on yarn.co. It generates gifs from movie and TV quotes so it might help to narrow things down.

I tried. They don’t seem to have it. Thank you for the link, though.

If you can remember some dialogue, but not much else, then usually the best thing to do is download/rip the subtitles, and search them.

I did that for Breaking Bad, and found nothing:

Thanks for trying. I’ll keep looking.

Just for the record, vast majority of medical personnel either won't look at your tattoo and/or won't care.

Kinda like a "DNR" tattoo. If there's no legal paperwork then it's meaningless.

I rewatched BB within the past year and nothing really springs to my mind. This doesn't seem like a scene that would immediately get clipped and given a relevant title, so I doubt searching keywords would help much. Sounds like a good time for you to rewatch the series ;). Only other option would be to check a bigger Breaking Bad community, which I don't believe exists on the Fediverse. I'd hesitantly suggest r/breakingbad

Generally, tattoos for movies and TV shows are made up. They either cover up real ink on the actors or they create fake ones.

So knowing the actor wouldn't help you, it would help find the episode or the scene, but that's about it.

There are exceptions:
