Jonathan Banks, Emmy-nominated for a fifth time for playing 'Breaking Bad'/'Better Call Saul' 'fixer' Mike Ehrmantraut, is keeping his anticipation in check.
When Jonathan Banks walks down the red carpet on Sunday at this year’s Emmy ceremony, he’ll have new company in an elite club that includes Ed Asner, William Shatner and Kelsey Grammer — and from a member of his own cast, no less. Banks and “Better Call Saul” costar Giancarlo Esposito are both on the very short list of performers to earn Emmy nominations for playing the same role in multiple TV series, a list Esposito joins this year.
Other nominees in the supporting actor in a drama category are Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Peter Dinklage and Alfie Allen, all from “Game of Thrones”; Michael Kelly, from “House of Cards"; and Chris Sullivan, from “This is Us.” “I really like Mike,” Banks said. “He’s terribly flawed. He may seem like a hard-ass, but his weakness is his compassion for other human beings. I think people can really relate to him.”
In “Winner,” Ehrmantraut has to track down Werner Ziegler , the German foreman of a huge hidden meth lab commissioned by Fring. Ziegler has slipped away for a brief rendezvous with his wife, who is flying in from Germany. Ehrmantraut locates Ziegler at a resort and is taking him back to the lab when an angered Fring informs his fixer over the phone that the foreman must be disposed of. Ehrmantraut, who has a fondness for Ziegler, unsuccessfully tries to convince Fring to spare the man.
