"If Walter White is the devil, then what does that make Todd? Introduced as a mild-mannered, hard-working fellow who proceeded to kill a child in cold blood, Todd (played by Jesse Plemons) is sociopathic to a degree that stuns even Walt. And the blank-faced blonde, who idolizes Heisenberg, has been surprisingly instrumental in his downfall. As of Sunday's Breaking Bad episode \"Ozymandius,\" Todd and his Nazi-for-hire family have obliterated Hank, while banishing Jesse to a torture chamber of eternal meth-cooking. What more damage could he possibly do? We're about to find out. GQ spoke to Plemons\u2014who, prior to Breaking Bad, was best-known as lovable dork Landry on Friday Night Lights\u2014about Todd's endgame, his crush on Lydia, and whether he's more dangerous than Walt. Also, we learned that Jesse recently played guitar at the wedding of his Friday Night Lights co-star Zach Gilford (a.k.a. Matt Saracen), so we may have brought that up.\n\nGQ: Let's talk about your big moment in &amp;amp;#x201C;Ozymandius,&amp;amp;#x201D; when Todd said, \"I'm sorry for your loss.\"\n\n Plemons: Uh-huh. It is sort of funny, and totally insufficient. [Laughs] We ran through it in rehearsals a couple times, so I think we got the laughs out of the way. But I don't know, Todd is just&amp;amp;#x2013;I find him just as fascinating as everyone else does. So when you get a line like that, you have as much fun with it as you can.\n\nHe's not an emotional guy. What do you think prompted him to say that?\n\n Well I think it was hard for Todd to see Walt in that shape, a man he really owes a lot to and respects, in a bit of a twisted way. And I think it was probably a little sad, even for Todd.\n\nTodd is funny because he's completely unemotional, but also kind of personable. If he just worked behind a counter at a store, you'd be like, \"Oh, that's Todd, the nice guy who works at the store.\"\n\n You'd never know. That nice young man.\n\nWere you surprised at how involved your character has been in the final episodes?\n\n It was all a surprise. There's no way you can predict anything with these writers.\n\nWho's the bigger bad guy: Todd or Walt?\n\n I would say Walt. I think that before Todd became drawn to Walt, he was just basically dealing in petty crimes. He didn't really have much direction, and I think Walt has given him direction in his life. But I still think Walt is on a different level. Todd is maybe a little more unpredictable.\n\nHow are they different?\n\n That's a good question. I think Walt is just smarter than Todd is, and he's got a lot under his belt. Todd is doing everything he can to fill those shoes, but like I said, Walt is just on a different level. He's the king, while Todd is doing everything he can to stay afloat and act like he has it all together.\n\nI want to talk about Todd's crush on Lydia, too. Where do you think that comes from?\n\n &amp;amp;#xE2;&amp;amp;#x80;&amp;amp;#x8B;Todd might have some mommy issues. Lydia needs him, and I think he might be misinterpreting that need for some sort of attraction. And I think he really likes feeling that he's of use; he likes people telling him, \"Good job, Todd!\" And he doesn't get a lot from Lydia. Plus she's not a woman that you'd meet in Albuquerque on the weekend, and I think he's just sort of fascinated with her.\n\nIs she going to end up in a little glass jar on his shelf like the dead kid's spider?\n\n Well, we'll have to wait and see.\n\nHe also offered to have his uncle kill people for her, which seems like Todd's ultimate gesture of affection.\n\n Yeah, I mean, he doesn't tell that to everyone. That's how you know he likes you.\n\nCan I ask you about Zach Gilford's wedding? I was looking at the photos and noticed you had a guitar\u2026\n\n I did! Yeah, Zach and Kiele (Sanchez) asked me to play a song as she was walking down the aisle, and I said, \"Oh my god, that is terrifying. But yes, I'd love to.\" And really, the location and the people, it was just one of the best weddings I've been to, you know? His dad married them, and it was a lot of fun. And he's a great guy. I'm really happy for them.\n\nWhat song did you play?\n\n [Laughs] They wanted me to cover Death Cab for Cutie's \"Transatlanticism\" for them. I was like, okay...\n\nI assume you're also going to sing that in the Breaking Bad finale.\n\n Yeah. End credits: \"Transatlanticism.\"\n\nWell, I'm pretty excited to see what's going to happen, and pretty freaked out by you in general right now.\n\n[Laughs] That's okay, I'm used to it.\n\nAre you cool with people's reactions to you being split down the middle between Landry and Todd? A lot of people still refer to you as \"Landry\" when they're tweeting about Breaking Bad.\n\n Hopefully the last two episodes will erase that Landry connection. They're definitely not Landry-esque at all.\n\nMore Breaking Bad:\n\n The Breaking Bad GQ+A: Betsy Brandt on Marie Schrader's Tragic Moment and Crying in Between Takes\n\n Steven Quezada on Gomez's [SPOILERS EVERYWHERE]\n\n RJ Mitte on Walt Jr.'s Dad Issues and Trying to Avoid Spoilers"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
