A Walter White lookalike has gone viral after a police mugshot caught the attention of Breaking Bad fans.
An image of Todd Barrick Jr was posted on Facebook by officers from Galesburg Police Department in Illinois, who said the 50-year-old is wanted in connection with a probation violation.
The force's followers, though, were less interested in his alleged discretion and more focused – with his bald head, goatee beard and glasses – on his resemblance to Bryan Cranston's character in the much loved AMC TV show.

Referencing Walter White's alias in the show, one said “Heisenberg is Alive!!", while another quoted one of the character's most memorable lines, commenting:
“Say my name!!!"

Another wrote that he was "in the house with a pizza on the roof" and several people suggested the whole thing was a stunt by Netflix to promote the upcoming Breaking Bad movie, El Camino, which is to be released on the streaming platform next month.
