Breaking Bad
He plays Badger in Breaking Bad. Brandon Mayhew, often known as Badger, is one of Jesse Pinkman’s longtime acquaintances and a low-level meth distributor. Brandon went to participate in a documentary about young criminals who had to live with convicts for three weeks owing to parental obligations. In there, he met a cellmate who was skilled at breaking and entering. Brandon utilized his partner’s lockpicks, which he kept in his buttocks.
As part of his probation, Brandon is working as a walking billboard for a real estate company, dressed in a full-body dollar bill outfit. When he meets Jesse Pinkman, the two form a brief alliance to make meth by purchasing pseudophedrine using Brandon’s salary. However, Jesse disposed of substandard batches multiple times, infuriating Brandon. This turned into a struggle, and Jesse kicked Brandon out of his RV. Brandon fires a crossbow bolt at the RV after the two scuffle over a batch of meth, and Jesse drives away, leaving Brandon alone in the desert.
Brandon clearly enjoys science fiction television shows and movies. After bugging Brandon’s mother’s house in search of Jesse, Patrick Kuby remarked, “All he talked about for five hours was something called Babylon 5.” Brandon also wrote a Star Trek script, which he read to Skinny Pete at Jesse’s house. He also used Star Wars frequently. Brandon enjoys playing survival horror video games like Resident Evil and Left 4 Dead. He is skilled at lockpicks.
NCIS
He featured as Cop in the NCIS: Los Angeles Season 2 episode Deliverance. He later appeared on NCIS as Ned Dorneget. Ned Dorneget (or “Dorney” to his colleagues) was an NCIS Special Agent stationed at the Navy Yard in Washington, D.C., and a member of the NCIS Cyber Operations Division.
Dorneget’s life and career as an NCIS Special Agent were tragically and unfortunately cut short in May 2015 when he was killed in an explosion perpetrated by Daniel Budd in a hotel blast in Cairo, Egypt, leaving his mother, the NCIS agency, and its comrades devastated.
In Sins of the Father, NCIS Agent Dorneget is shown babysitting Tony’s father, DiNozzo Senior, and blackmailing Ned into letting him in. In Need to Know, Ned works as an alternate evidence custodian and is tasked with accompanying NCIS Special Agent Timothy McGee to pick up Ava Baransky. Dorneget admits that he forgot his gun and respects Gibbs’ instructions, but he still has his cuffs. Dorneget admits to being gay and not attracted to women once he loses the suspect. In Up in Smoke, a cutting-edge insect device is implanted in Dorneget’s tooth.
