I have been searching for this person’s name for years, after people have pointed out my own blood type tattoo. Mine is for medical reasons. Anyway, after having people jokingly reference the scene where Jesse says, “A minus? Why not an A plus?” I haven’t been able to find the scene online, or the actor’s name on any website. I found a website that once named one of the rival characters as being portrayed by “Lauren (can’t remember the last name)”. They didn’t have a picture for that actor/actress. It’s like they removed all content online that has that actor/actress in it. Any ideas on who portrayed that person?

Just for the record, vast majority of medical personnel either won't look at your tattoo and/or won't care.

Kinda like a "DNR" tattoo. If there's no legal paperwork then it's meaningless.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

It’s a clue to start looking for the paperwork though. Flogging some poor soul back to a life they don’t want only to suffer isn’t fun for anyone involved.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Not happening. No obvious paperwork, then it's off to the races. We're not on a "treasure hunt" just because of a tattoo.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I didn’t mean to imply to drop everything and look. But as something that should be noted and mentioned to someone who could find that info. Healthcare care isn’t a solo sport. I am aware of the laws and protocols.

I say this as someone who has been in this situation.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Maybe different reactions in other geographical regions, but, in the New England area (U.S.), EMS won't even consider any medical tattoos.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 months ago

Generally, tattoos for movies and TV shows are made up. They either cover up real ink on the actors or they create fake ones.

So knowing the actor wouldn't help you, it would help find the episode or the scene, but that's about it.

There are exceptions:

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 months ago

I just binged breaking bad last month and I gotta tell ya, I don't really remember any scene like this. Maybe start looking at other Aaron Paul work, I think you're mistaken about it being from BB.

Good luck!

If you can remember some dialogue, but not much else, then usually the best thing to do is download/rip the subtitles, and search them.

I did that for Breaking Bad, and found nothing:

Thanks for trying. I’ll keep looking.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I've watched BB a few times but I can't say I recognise the reference. Still, if you're sure that's the line he says, try searching on yarn.co. It generates gifs from movie and TV quotes so it might help to narrow things down.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

I tried. They don’t seem to have it. Thank you for the link, though.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago

Out of curiosity I did some searching yesterday and the only thing I turned up was this post. I didn't realize search engines crawled the Fediverse!

Hope you find what you're looking for. ✌️

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago

I rewatched BB within the past year and nothing really springs to my mind. This doesn't seem like a scene that would immediately get clipped and given a relevant title, so I doubt searching keywords would help much. Sounds like a good time for you to rewatch the series ;). Only other option would be to check a bigger Breaking Bad community, which I don't believe exists on the Fediverse. I'd hesitantly suggest r/breakingbad

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

Since most everyone is saying they can’t find or remember that scene from Breaking Bad, is it possible it is from that immensely forgettable (and bad) Netflix sequel movie that came out in like ‘17 or ‘18?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

Which episode and time stamp? I have watched the series several times (I think it's the best show ever written). However I am not recalling this scene.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

The only quote that has a minor and a plus is this:
What if this is like math, or algebra? And you add a plus douchebag to a minus douchebag, and you get, like, zero douchebags?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Is it the scene where Jesse and Walter encounter the aryan gang at some restaurant, or business, and the camera zooms in on the guy’s arm tattoo? Of so, that might be the scene I’m looking to find! I think there was a deleted scene from that episode that was released later, in Breaking Bad’s deleted scenes. Do you know the actor’s name? I had a whole conversation about that with someone, and now I can’t remember the actor’s name. I think the guy’s name was Lauren, but now it’s nowhere to be found online.

No. I googled him and that doesn’t look like the actor of whom I’m thinking. It’s an actor who had a shaved head in the series and I think he typically wore long sleeve denim, or canvas shirts and pants. He never smiled.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Jimmy Daniels? He played Jimmy in-'N-Out

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

Very close! That guy looks similar, but the face isn’t exactly the same. I want to say he was part of the same crime group.
