Jordan Banks Really Said "Man Up"

In a hilarious behind-the-scenes story from Breaking Bad, Jonathan Banks landed the role of Mike Ehrmantraut by unscriptedly smacking Aaron Paul straight across the face.
.
Banks revealed that during his very first scene, he felt Mike wouldn't tolerate Jesse's endless whining, so he spontaneously threw a real blow to Paul's head without warning.
.
Instead of calling cut, series creator Vince Gilligan loved the intense dynamic so much that he immediately added the hit into the official scene, locking Banks in as a permanent series icon.

Seeing Jonathan Banks land an iconic TV role by physically surprising Aaron Paul on set is pure gold. #breakingbad #jonathanbanks #aaronpaul #mikeehrmantraut #jessepinkman #behindthescenes #funny #viral #funnymoments #shorts #comedy #interview #celebritystories.
