“Breaking Bad” star Lavell Crawford trains Jiu-Jitsu.
Lavell Crawford is a stand-up comedian and actor. He is best known for playing Huell in Breaking Bad.
Crawford was born in St. Louis, Missouri. He attended Pattonville High School in Maryland Heights, Missouri, where he graduated in 1986. As a child, he suffered from numerous hardships, including a struggle with weight, a near-drowning at age ten, and abandonment by his father, who was a bodybuilder. However, as of 2010, the two have reconnected.
Crawford appeared on the crime drama series Breaking Bad as Saul Goodman’s bodyguard Huell Babineaux, and on It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia as a stand-up comedian going by the stage name Landslide. He also appeared in an episode of Tosh.0, where he helps “the worst stand-up comedian” redeem himself. He has a small supporting role in the 2015 film American Ultra.
Crawford was at Gracie Barra Ju-Jitsu in Los Angeles — on his way to a workout — when he was about how he started training and which MMA fighters make him laugh … intentionally or not. We also see Crawford training with GB’s Alberto Crane.
