35!Tropes
36* BadassDriver: Seemed to become one after starring in the ''Film/NeedForSpeed'' movie. Appearing on ''Series/TopGearUK'' to promote the movie, ''and'' setting the best celebrity lap time on the track definitely counts.
37* CelebrityResemblance: Creator/TomFelton told of a time when he was chatting with fans... who mistakenly thought they were talking to Aaron. Felton just went with it. Also bears a resemblance to Creator/BenFoster.
38* LargeHam: HE CAN HAM IT UP, [[RunningGag BITCH!]]
39** Even pre-Jesse Pinkman, as you can examine from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_SEL27xiJGQ his appearance on ''The Price is Right'']].
40** Cyrus of WesternAnimation/TronUprising was a case of ColdHam.
41* StarMakingRole: His role as [[Series/BreakingBad Jesse Pinkman]] gave him world-wide recognition and career boost. After the series finished he [[SelfDeprecation joked]] that his career would probably be all downhill from there. [[invoked]]
42* ThisIsForEmphasisBitch: Because emphasis is important, [[RuleOfThree BITCH!]]
43* TwoFirstNames: A literal case, as he dropped his surname Sturtevant to evoke a much easier-to-remember StageName.
44* WhatCouldHaveBeen: He auditioned for the role of Francis, the oldest son, on ''Series/MalcolmInTheMiddle'' which starred his future ''Series/BreakingBad'' costar Creator/BryanCranston. [[invoked]]
45* YouLookFamiliar: He guested in both ''Series/{{CSI}}'' and ''Series/CSIMiami'' as two different characters. [[invoked]]
