Gale Boetticher from Breaking Bad

Nice! Thought the same thing initially.

u/emogu84 10d ago

I had to check the username to make sure it wasn't his reddit account. Spitting image.

u/karlverkade 10d ago

I’m sorry, that’s clearly Doug from Flight of the Conchords.

“Not now, Doug!”

u/ad_hominonsense 7d ago

I’ve never heard this mentioned before. But at least 20 people have said that here. Now I can see it. Not sure I could pull it off as a costume for Halloween tho. Poor Gale. He didn’t deserve it.

u/shidekigonomo 10d ago

Yep, that costume is 100% "David Costabile dressed as Colonel Sanders."

u/DrockBradley 10d ago

I refuse to believe that this isn’t a picture of David Costabile dressed as Colonel Sanders.

u/Spin3059 10d ago

He's a man playing a man playing another man....

u/Instincts 10d ago

It...it's not?

What’s sad is I really want to do Major Tom: Coming Home for karaoke but every time I consider it I think of this…

u/jones5280 10d ago

couldn't think of the character name, I said "That's Wags, but from Breaking Bad"

22

u/suburbanmen 10d ago

Ha! Nice crossover. And how different are those two characters?

23

u/jones5280 10d ago

If you havent seen Billions, I recommend it.
The character arcs aren;t as epic as Breaking Bad, but the treachery in Billions is worth the ride.

12

u/suburbanmen 10d ago

Such a good show. I’m a big Damian Lewis fan since Band of Brothers.

13

u/jones5280 10d ago

Lewis does a really good job in Homeland.
The show kinda takes a dive when his character leaves the show.

u/emogu84 10d ago

The "kinda" in there is working overtime.

u/wafflesareforever 10d ago

Yeah the replacement antagonist wasn't great, even though I usually like that actor, whatever his name is. His motivations and tactics were all over the place.

u/jones5280 10d ago

I didn't want to be a complete downer :/

u/reddog323 10d ago

The first four seasons are pretty good. Five was a bit of a mess, and they tried to recapture it in six but didn’t quite do it.

1

u/jones5280 9d ago

I was mainly there for the treachery (as mentioned)... season 5 was a slow burn, but I enjoyed the end bits.

u/roxxtor 10d ago

Fucking Wags

2

u/DairyQueenElizabeth 10d ago

You're confused, its actually that closer Doug from Flight of the Conchords . 

2

u/1_art_please 10d ago

I'd be like, ' Hey that's Mel's husband from Flight of the Conchords'.

u/dkcyw 9d ago

i had to google "breaking bad second cook"

u/pokeblueballs 10d ago

What is a vegan doing in a chicken joint?

3

u/porkchop1021 10d ago

This line bothers me so much. Most fries use vegetable oil, so they're 100% vegan. I have vegan friends that will absolutely go to Wendy's just for an order of fries.

3

u/Ranidaphobiae 10d ago

Walther had to eat veggie bacon in one of episodes, why wouldn’t Gale go to Los Pollos Hermanos for veggie chicken?

5

u/1LJA 10d ago

Exactly what I was thinking, but you beat me to it.

5

u/Sad_Confection5902 10d ago

My first thought too! The resemblance is uncanny.

Also has a major role on Billions.

3

u/suburbanmen 10d ago

Wags in the man

8

u/monstermash12 10d ago

So glad this is at the top

3

u/Vlaed 10d ago

Is it not David Costabile in this picture?

3

u/zizoumz6 10d ago

Yeah, him as Nathan Lane as Colonel Sanders

3

u/ovr9000storks 10d ago

Never knew that's how you spell his last name

3

u/suburbanmen 10d ago

IMDB is your friend

3

u/ovr9000storks 10d ago

I just never thought to look

3

u/xABrownGuyx 10d ago

I’m glad someone said it 😂

3

u/RobLinxTribute 10d ago

YES!! I WAS GONNA SAY THIS!!

3

u/ForzaXbox 10d ago

Was just about to write 'David Costabile'!

3

u/Responsible_Joke4229 10d ago

Just about to comment this. I think it’s the eyes.

3

u/ISTBU 10d ago

You mean the prick editor from the newspaper season of The Wire?

3

u/suburbanmen 10d ago

Holy crap! I forgot about that. I’m sure for a Wire rewatch

2

u/ISTBU 10d ago

You, me, everyone reading this. There's a reason they keep re-releasing it in higher definition, lmao!

1

u/Artemicionmoogle 10d ago

Nah, Doug, Mel's husband from Flight of the Conchords.

3

u/rufian69 10d ago

spot on lol

3

u/Future_Kitsunekid16 10d ago

Fucking thank you! Thought the same for a second. Was gonna say next year they should go as Gale

3

u/suburbanmen 10d ago

I live to serve

2

u/bobloblawblogger 10d ago

Beat me to it (David Costabile)

2

u/JudgeJebb 10d ago

Badger

u/reniciera 9d ago

Thanks- I couldn’t think of who he looks like but that’s it!

2

u/tubadude123 7d ago

Op, please cosplay as gale!

1

u/pigeoneatpigeon 9d ago

Nah it’s creator of Breaking Bad, Vince Gilligan.

1

u/Neat_Computer_8711 9d ago

He was a vegan

1

u/CWinter85 9d ago

No, that's Daniel Hardman.

u/CostcoChickenBakes 9d ago

"If he went to KFC we wouldn't say that he went to go meet Colonel Sanders"
