Steven Michael Quezada, ‘Breaking Bad’ Actor, Breaking Into Politics

Best known for playing Steven Gomez on AMC’s hit show about chemistry teacher-turned-meth kingpin Walter White, Quezado announced that he’s pursuing a career in politics and running for a county commissioner position.

Quezado plans to run on the Democratic ticket for the Bernalillo County Commission seat. He’s previously served as a member of the Albuquerque school board.

“I think I bring a new face to the Democratic Party,” said Quezada. “We need to reach out to our young people — the young Chicanos, the young Latinos — and get them involved in this process and let them know this is important.”

At least three others are running for the open seat in 2016

Quezado is a lifelong resident of New Mexico, where Breaking Bad was set and filmed. The 52-year-old actor was born in Albuquerque and went on to study theater arts at Eastern New Mexico University.
