At least he didn’t start selling meth for money
I mean, hasn’t everyone?
The very definition of ice cold antagonist.
That would have been a loss. He has rocked his roles.

What an actor
And what a human
Probably is relieved now that he has a stable income playing increasingly poor imitations of gustavo fring
Weeeell……the ending of farcry 6 feels a little more real now
Well now you know hiw that cold empty eyes came to be. There was nothing left in there.
Hector read this and said….
*Ding!…..Ding! Ding! Ding!….*
Last name does not check out
Im glad he landed that role, especially because it saved his life.
Despair is a powerful, terrible thing.
So there still is hope for us all
Gilbert???
That’s sad
“A man provides, Walter.”
Giancarlo is a GOAT of an actor, and I’m glad he didn’t check out.
Omg. Thank God he’s still with us! I don’t know anything about him (have a crush on him but that’s it) so this really touched me. My heart goes out to him and I hope he’s happy and healthy in every way. ❤️
He was amazing in that role. Ice fucking cold.
“Why ain’t there no brothers on the wall, Sal?”
It flipped me the hell out when I realized that he’d played Buggin’ Out in “Do the Right Thing.”
How would one even find someone to carry that out for them..?
He was great in Fresh .
I guess that’s where he channels a lot of his energy from…
Strong contender for best villain of all time!
And now he’s everywhere! Don’t give up!
He’s been to a dark place. It really resonated on his role in BB.
Acceptable
I dont remember this from the prequel, Better Call Saul
I first noticed him as Yo-Yo in the classic arthouse movie ‘Night on Earth’ from 1991.
He is so great in that.
Didn’t even recognise him in Breaking Bad. It only dawned on me recently.
Goddamn, he’s got a real life villain origin story before being typecast as a permanent villain.
Me
He must’ve seen a little more of Walt in himself after that role.
Marriage ☕
😆
😐
So he was already doing some Breaking Bad shit
From a man ready to give up everything to be cast as a man who wanted everything.
Giancarlo plays some amazing roles, definitely overlooked by mainstream.
Method actors really be doing too much
Everything can change..it’s just a phone call away.
Man he has been iconic since that role, when I see him I’m like dam he is in this also.
The show has saved him. Literally.
After my divorce I lived out of my car
for months and had great time camping and exploring nature. I think the lesson is do not have kids… Or probably to believe in yourself I guess.
So basically before he Broke Bad, he almost Ozarked
A man provides for his family.
So we get this as a prequel series…when?
I feel you man
You copy pasted the wikipedia page lol
No wonder he absolutely rocked his role as Gustavo. The display of those inner rage and spite is probably real.
