BetterCallSaul's quiethandfilms discusses why he was uncomfortable with playing Gus in the 'Breaking Bad' prequel series and teases why he's excited about his character's Season 6 storyline.
The long-running AMC series Better Call Saul might technically serve as a prequel to Breaking Bad, but has carved out a storytelling niche all its own in the realm of drama television thanks to unexpected twists and phenomenal performances. The show chronicles the journey of Jimmy McGill , a former conman who aspires to become a decent lawyer, through his seemingly-inevitable descent into the role of crooked criminal defense attorney Saul Goodman.
GIANCARLO ESPOSITO: It comes up quickly when you have a great show like this particular show. We waited a long time to get into this final season. We knew it was coming. We're anxious to know what happens. We know that we pick up right where we left off, which is a great place to pick this up. Deeply in drama and very violent action that comes from that final episode in Season 5.
I'm an actor who likes tangible ideas and things to work with, and I go back to what I did in Breaking Bad. I create a world for myself that started way beyond Better Call Saul, and I create and make that world full so that when you see me on-screen saying little, my eyes and my facial expressions are saying a whole lot more because of the history that's in my brain, and because of the game I know I'm trying to play. So, that has filled me up.
