Breaking Bad's Aaron Paul has "always wanted" to be in a game, but The Boys-esque superhero comedy Dispatch was the first truly irresistible role: "Nothing really felt like the right fit"

Aaron Paul's character Robert Robertson in Dispatch, stood holding a dog in an elevator filled with strange superheroes.

For the last two years, Aaron Paul has been recording for Dispatch. The superhero workplace comedy is his first gaming role – which feels strange, given the medium pops up so often in his prior work. Half the world has already seen Paul play Rage and Sonic the Hedgehog as Breaking Bad's Jesse Pinkman, voice the lead in animated film Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy 15, and pop up as the self-explanatory Gamer691 in Black Mirror. But starring in an actual game? No dice – until Dispatch.

"I've always wanted to be part of a game," Paul tells GamesRadar+. "I've had opportunities come my way in the past, and nothing really felt like the right fit. And I've been spoiled in the animation space! So it's very precious to me, I just didn't want to jump onto anything."
