Before Breaking Bad, did anyone know who he was?

He got plenty of attention for Wiseguy. First Emmy nomination.

I've never watched an episode of Breaking Bad but I do know him from Wiseguy. And he popped up in tons of shows over the years.

He was one of the main baddies in Beverley Hills Cop starring Eddie Murphy.

I was a fan of Wiseguy and i remember him as one of the bad guy from Beverly hills cop.

Seems like a good thread to bump, again.

I had long remembered him mostly as the main villain's top henchman in Beverly Hills Cop (Ironically a similar role in what would become his most famous role in Breaking Bad). For me, until Breaking Bad he was just one of those memorable character actors whose name you don't know but recognize from small supporting roles here and there over the years.

Here's a list of movies that I distinctly remember seeing him in over the years before Breaking Bad

48 hrs.
Beverly Hills Cop (By far the role I most associated him with before BB)
FreeJacK
Under Seige 2
Dark Blue

I will always remember him from 48 Hours. Dude got the snot shot out of him in that hotel by Ganz.

YES...FROM MANY MOVIES AND TV ROLES...BUT THE THING I KNEW HIM BEST FROM BEFORE BREAKING BAD WAS....FIRED UP!(1997-1998)...A ONE SEASON SITCOM STARRING SHARON LAWRENCE AND LEAH REMINI.
