We’re sitting down with Charles Baker, the actor behind one of the most beloved Breaking Bad characters, Skinny Pete. But this episode is more than just Breaking Bad—it’s about his insane journey, struggling to break into Hollywood, the reality of working in the industry, and what happened after the show ended.
Joining us is our mutual manager, Alex Czuleger, who helped guide Charles’ career and has also been a key part of Trilogy Media’s journey. Together, we dive into:
• The story behind how Charles landed the role of Skinny Pete
• What it was really like filming Breaking Bad
• The struggles of being an actor in Hollywood & why most don’t make it
• Crazy behind-the-scenes industry stories & career-defining moments
This episode is part Breaking Bad deep dive, part Hollywood survival guide, and 100% unfiltered Trilogy Media madness.
