What Has Krysten Ritter Been Up To Since Her Exit From Breaking Bad?

After exiting “Breaking Bad” with an emotional send-off, Krysten Ritter dabbled in lighter fare. She played Patty, the smart-mouthed best friend of the female lead in the studio comedy “She’s Out of My League” which was released in 2010. Speaking to SPIN in 2012, Ritter was asked if she was ever worried about being typecast. “At that point, I was just happy to have a job. I just wanted to be a working actress. But I don’t think I’m a professional best friend,” she told the outlet.

That interview took place after Ritter was given the lead role in the ABC sitcom “Don’t Trust the B**** in Apartment 23” in 2012. She played Chloe, a tough city girl who becomes roommates with a naive midwesterner, and Ritter instantly embraced the part. “She was fabulous, she was a switchblade, she was naked, she was dealing drugs, she was getting a kid drunk,” Ritter said about the character.

Unfortunately the network canceled the series in 2013 after two seasons. Ritter was the series lead, so this was different than when she left “Breaking Bad.” “That was the hardest rejection,” she said on the “Inside of You” podcast in June. “Yes, I cried, but I would cry before that,” Ritter said while recalling how she had shed tears of joy after days on set that went swimmingly. That sitcom was not her last series-leading role, as later she entered the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
