Aforementioned, Breaking Bad is one of the most-watched and loved television series around the world. Vince Gilligan created, wrote, produced, and directed the show, which is regarded as one of the best drama series. In addition, due to its immense success, Gilligan signed a deal with Sony Pictures Television to create the spin-off series Better Call Saul.

While Breaking Bad made Vince Gilligan a household name, he had already worked in the industry for a decade before creating the show. His first work was the 1993 movie, Wilder Napalm which starred Dennis Quaid and Debra Winger.

Gilligan was then involved in the making of Home Fries, which had Drew Barrymore, Luke Wilson, and Catherine O’Hara playing lead roles. Vince had written the script while he was enrolled at Tisch School of Arts and even won the 1989 Virginia Governor’s Screenwriting Award.
