Seinfeld Featured More Breaking Bad Stars Than You Probably Think

In the 1996 episode "The Abstinence," Elaine couples up with a guy named Ben, fulfilling her long-held wish to be with a doctor. Only Ben is sort of a doctor — he's gone through med school but failed the licensing test three times. She still proudly parades Ben around as her doctor boyfriend, particularly to frenemy Sue Ellen Mischke at Monk's Diner, but he embarrasses everyone when he doesn't feel comfortable or qualified to help a collapsed employee. Elaine helps him study for the exam and he passes, only to rudely dump her.

As a writer and actor on the Emmy-winning "The Ben Stiller Show" and a star and co-creator of HBO's "Mr. Show with Bob and David," Bob Odenkirk helped craft '90s sketch comedy. In addition to acting, writing, and directing numerous comedy projects in the decade after his "Seinfeld" appearance, Odenkirk joined the cast of "Breaking Bad" when it was already in progress. He played sleazy, bus-bench-advertising, strip-mall attorney Saul Goodman, who helps out Walt and Jesse with their various drug-related legal woes. The character proved so popular that Odenkirk headlined a spinoff, "Better Call Saul," which charts the rise and development of Saul Goodman, who starts out as a hard-luck, lightly educated ne'er-do-well named Jimmy McGill. Odenkirk has been nominated for Outstanding Leading Actor in a Drama Series four times for his work on "Better Call Saul."
