The Bones Episode That Starred Aaron Paul Before His Breaking Bad Fame

If you watched TV a lot in the '90s and '00s, it's possible that you've run into Aaron Paul in a variety of other shows that he's guest-starred on over the years. The actor appeared on television staples like "Beverly Hills 90210," "Melrose Place," and "Third Rock From the Sun" years before he got his big break as Walter White's (Bryan Cranston) partner in crime on "Breaking Bad."

Paul also showed up in episodes of other case-of-the-week style shows from the era, like "The X-Files," "Judging Amy," "NYPD Blue," and "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation," showing a pretty wide range of performances across the 40-plus roles that he landed prior to "Breaking Bad."

Still, there is one commonality between Jesse Pinkman on "Breaking Bad" and Stew Ellis on "Bones," and it's that both characters are seen as immediately suspicious by law enforcement. Luckily, both characters end up making it out of their respective shows alive as well, even if they're a little worse for wear.
