'Breaking Bad' cast reunited on stage at the 2024 SAG Awards

It was a Break bad reunion at the 2024 SAG Awards on Saturday, and this time they were able to use NSFW language.

Presentation of the award for Best Ensemble in a Drama Series, Bryan Cranston, Aaron PaulJonathan Banks, Betsy Brandt, Dean Norris, Bob OdenkirkRJ Mitte and Anna Gunn appeared arm in arm on stage, ten years after their successful AMC show ended.

“10 years ago we were proud to receive the SAG Award for Ensemble in a Drama Series,” said Cranston, 67, who played the formidable and downright intimidating Walter White. “Tonight we are happy to give it to another group of actors.”

Things quickly spiraled out of control from there, with Gunn – who played Skyler White, the wife of Cranston's character – launching into a 'cheesy' bit in which the cast had to go through and break out every letter of the word 'ensemble'. individually.

“Ensemble – the E stands for the excellence that each cast member brings to each exciting episode,” Gunn, 55, said before Odenkirk, 61, chimed in.

“And the letter N… N stands for no, no way, I'm going to do this cheesy thing where you say every letter of the word. I'm not doing it,” said the You better call Saul star replied.

“I think we have to, it's on the teleprompter,” replied Paul, 44, the actor behind the role of Jesse Pinkman in the series.

“Teleprompter my a**, I got a beer and some shots backstage, so let's get this thing going,” interrupted Norris, 60, who played Hank Schrader.

“Bob is right,” says Mitte, 31. “My grandmother wouldn't even put this on a pillow, it's so cheesy.”

“Listen, guys, I don't mean to start T because of any issues, but what do you think SAG would do to us if we didn't do this?” Brandt, 50, responded before Banks, 77, agreed.

“They can't fire us, so f**k 'em,” Banks said before Cranston quickly responded, “That's the real ensemble spirit.”

Ultimately, the group passed the torch to HBO's cast Succession, which ended its four-season run in 2023 and racked up a whopping 75 Emmy nominations and 19 wins.
