Cambridge Animals owner Dave the Animal, who also has achieved fame as a meth and crack cocaine kingpin, and as Poet Laureate of the United States, is about to add a new accomplishment to his long resumé/rap sheet. Later this fall, he will appear in a recurring guest-star role on the AMC Network series, Breaking Bad.
The Emmy-winning series revolves around an Albuquerque high-school chemistry teacher who becomes a manufacturer of crystal meth after learning that he has terminal cancer. In his guest appearances, Dave the Animal, portraying himself, arrives in Albuquerque for a semester as Guest Professor of Poetry at the University of New Mexico. According to the story line, Animal discovers that the chemistry teacher’s meth operations threaten to erode the sales from his own operations.
Around the country, the Animals operate drug franchises branded regionally under a variety of names: Crack-in-the-Box, CrackDonald’s, Cracky D’s, Crack Barrel Old Country Shacks, Crystal’s, and the spa resort chain Club Meth. The organization also recently unveiled a new social irresponsibility line of products, Animal’s Own, which contributes all profits to drug unrehabilitation.
Shooting for six episodes featuring Dave the Animal was completed last week, but production will continue throughout October. The first “Animal” episode will air during sweeps month in November. In one of two “teaser” clips released to the media by AMC, Animal is driving an all-terrain Jeep, attempting to run over the series’ star. In the other, he begins a lecture to a college class by reciting a poem that begins “There once was a man from Nantucket.”
It is not known whether the Animal will be featured in any Breaking Bad episodes beyond the initial six now in production.
