The audacity!
Aaron Paul is calling out Netflix amid the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike, claiming he hasn’t made a dime from Breaking Bad being on Netflix! Even though it’s *constantly* trending!
The actor stepped out on the picket lines outside Sony Picture Studios with co-stars Bryan Cranston and Jesse Plemons last week to speak out on the problems in the industry. That’s when he complained to Entertainment Tonight Canada:
If it wasn’t already obvious why this is so frustrating, he added:
We all know those execs are making bank on the show! So the actors (and writers, for that matter) should be, too! Ugh!

It stands to reason Aaron isn’t making much — if anything — from the drama’s spinoffs either, including Netflix’s original sequel film El Camino and Better Call Saul, which is also airing on the platform. The BoJack Horseman alum isn’t the only one pissed off, either! Cranston also gave a speech, telling the crowd of picketers:
He continued:
He went on to tell ET Canada:
The actors have been on strike since July, joining the WGA — which has been striking since early May. Among many things, performers are asking for better pay and protection from having their likenesses exploited by AI technology. If even the biggest stars are getting screwed over, just think of how bad it must be for lesser-known actors! Jeez. Hear everything the Breaking Bad cast had to say (below):
