Celebrity Extra: Aaron Paul
By Dana Jackson
Q: Is there any chance that there'll ever be a continuation of the show "Breaking Bad" with the character Jesse Pinkman? -- M.G.
A: Never say never, but the answer for now is "no." Despite Aaron Paul's fondness for the character of Jesse and his respect for "Breaking Bad" and "Better Call Saul" creator Vince Gilligan, he's realistic about the potential for a future spin-off. If you didn't catch the Netflix movie "El Camino" in 2019, it's a very satisfying sequel to "Breaking Bad" without it being a series.

Paul's been working steadily since he wrapped up his most famous character. He played Caleb Nichols in the HBO series "Westworld" and lent his distinctive voice to several characters on the animated series "BoJack Horseman." He also has a few upcoming projects, including the horror film "Anything but Ghosts" with Bryce Dallas Howard ("The Help") and the action thriller "Bear Country" with Russell Crowe ("Thor: Love and Thunder").
In addition, it was recently announced that he's been cast in the upcoming third season of "Fallout," the hit postapocalyptic series on Amazon Prime Video. Both Walton Goggins and Kyle MacLachlan are said to be returning, and Annabel O'Hagan and Dave Register have been bumped up to series regulars. Filming is expected to start this month in Santa Clarita, California.

Q: Wasn't there a TV show from years ago where the lead guy from "Sons of Anarchy" played a college student? I never did watch it but would like to find it on streaming. -- T.J.
A: Before Charlie Hunnam bulked up to play a motorcycle gang member in the FX series "Sons of Anarchy," as well as a serial killer in Netflix's "Monster," he played a college freshman in a TV series that was created by Judd Apatow.
Apatow is credited with introducing audiences to future stars like Hunnam, Seth Rogen ("The Studio"), Jason Segel ("Shrinking"), and Linda Cardellini ("DTF St. Louis"), with Rogen and Segel both appearing in "Undeclared" and "Freaks and Geeks."
You can stream "Undeclared" on Netflix. Be sure to keep an eye out for appearances by Apatow's buddies Adam Sandler, Will Ferrell and Amy Poehler. Unfortunately, even with this much star power, the show only lasted for one season on Fox.
