Acting
He got the role in Breaking Bad by chance because in 2007 he accompanied his children to a casting as extras on this series. According to his own information, it was apparently mainly his pronounced eyebrows with which he caught the attention of those responsible for casting, whereupon, to his own surprise, he was given the role of the series protagonist's employer, as he appeared in 5 episodes.
