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]] |
