Walter White
Walter White, also known by his alias “Heisenberg”, is the antihero turned villain protagonist of the American crime drama television series Breaking Bad, portrayed by Bryan Cranston. He is a skilled chemist who co-founded a technology firm before accepting a buy-out from his partners, leading him to become a high school chemistry teacher in Albuquerque, New Mexico, barely making ends meet with his family. After being diagnosed with Stage III lung cancer, Walter decides to manufacture and sell methamphetamine with his former student Jesse Pinkman to ensure his family's financial security after his death. Walter becomes increasingly ruthless and unsympathetic as the series progresses, adopting the alias "Heisenberg," which becomes recognizable as a kingpin figure in the Southwestern drug trade.
