Actor Max Arciniega makes an appearance in both "Breaking Bad" and "NCIS: New Orleans."
His role in the former show, though brief, is crucial to its overall narrative. In the first three episodes of "Breaking Bad," Arciniega portrays Krazy-8, a drug dealer who Walt and Jesse unsuccessfully try to work with to sell their meth. Paranoia and a series of misunderstandings lead to Walt capturing and strangling Krazy-8 to death, making him one of his first kills and first steps in his descent into darkness. Arciniega would also later return to this same role as a recurring character in the "Breaking Bad" prequel series "Better Call Saul."
Arciniega also makes a one-off appearance on "NCIS: New Orleans" in the 13th episode of Season 2, titled "Undocumented." This particular episode offers the show's take on the American immigration crisis and was inspired by the movie "Sin Nombre." The plot revolves around the ostensible suicide of an officer named Mateo Ortega, whose death, as the NCIS team quickly uncovers, was actually linked to a familial struggle to get his sister Claudia across the border. Arciniega plays Mateo's brother Victor, a well-meaning man who simply wants his family to be safe and back together. This portrayal is pretty much the polar opposite of his character from "Breaking Bad," but for fans of both shows — who may have wondered why they felt that a random side character in "NCIS: New Orleans" looked so familiar — it's all due to one great actor taking on two very different roles.
