Giancarlo Esposito as Gus Fring looking angry next to Gus looking calm in Breaking Bad
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Actor Giancarlo Esposito, who portrayed Gus Fring in Breaking Bad, has opened up about how the show saved his life, pulling him out of a very dark place he was in before getting the role. Esposito portrayed the notorious drug kingpin as a series regular during seasons 3 and 4 of the show. He later reprised the role for the prequel series Better Call Saul, becoming the most recognizable villain from the franchise.
My way out in my brain was: ‘Hey, do you get life insurance if someone commits suicide? Do they get the bread?’ My wife had no idea why I was asking this stuff. I started scheming. If I got somebody to knock me off, death by misadventure, would get the insurance. I had four kids. I wanted them to have a life. It was a hard moment in time. I literally thought of self-annihilation so they could survive. That’s how low I was.
How Breaking Bad's Gus Became Giancarlo Esposito's Breakout Role Esposito has received critical acclaim for his role as Gus in both Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, being nominated for and winning multiple awards during his time on the show.

His enthusiasm about the idea over the years shows that, despite how massive his career has grown since his time on the show, he still has a deep connection to the character that saved his life.
