FULL INTERVIEW Raymond Cruz on "Cleveland Abduction" @BTVRtv with @ArthurKade

[@swordhalk1]

His acting of evil in Breaking Bad was so good I cant even take him seriously in the interview

[@baxatakbaxatak2014]

He also doesn’t get enough credit for playing Det. Sanchez on The Closer and Major Crimes.

[@liberatedhippything]

Right like is he gonna get up and eat the camera mans Adam's apple and laugh? I swear

[@eliasgolf2024]

You can tell the interviewer is actually afraid of Tuco.

[@SavageBunnyGetMoney]

Training Day included how hes Terrifying Ethan Hawke

[@abhig7582]

[@bentonxavier5094]

Raymond Cruz was so good as Tuco in Breaking Bad that I was quite convinced that they just hired a thug from the street to play him

[@yig_501]

i thoight he had at least some sort of xartel background or something shits so good Raymon Cruz is the man he scared the f out me lolol

[@coreyhall1150]

No he's just that good. I first saw him in From Dusk Till Dawn 2 man. And when I saw him as Tuco I was like "OOOHHHH MAN HE'S IN THIS? That's it I'm all in".....

[@aksa3227]

Means that his acting for the film is successful isn't it😂

[@lorderik237]

I love how people who play bad guys on film are often the nicest people you can ever meet.

[@MadKazZzZzZ]

There are few mean actors, but it's funny to see who you picture as evil is nice and who you picture as a hero or nice guy is an asshole

[@anujbalodi2552]

+lorderik237 It is almost uncanny.

[@michaelterry1000]

+lorderik237 That is true, I have noticed that also. What is also sometimes true (emphasize Sometimes) is that the actors who play heroes are sometimes A-holes.

I used to work with Raymond back in 1986 & 1987 for Mimi’s Cafe in Downey, CA. We were both servers. I remember how he’d tell me that he’s an aspiring actor. I never thought, at that time, that he’d get anywhere, being that there’s so much competition. So glad to see that he’s gotten this far, because he was a really nice guy!

[@trallicus3758]

Raymond played Tuco in Breaking Bad and insisted his character be killed off because he was uncomfortable playing such a violent role. He must be a really respectable guy IRL.

[@msghia5252]

Where did you read this...

[@russiasvechenaya58]

Yeah Nigga where the fuck did u read that Nigga??

[@lucasguzman8125]

No he asked to be killed off because he was starring in another show

[@Lobothemainman23]

It was because the role was very heard to play with all the energy required. It wasn't the violence.

[@blackopsclassifiedandstuff6300]

it was because his nipples were velvet

[@kenjohn12]

It feels like Tuco is a real life character and this is him all these years later who has changed his life for the better and left the gang and criminal life and drugs. Now he tells his life and what he went through.

[@outlaw4liife]

Then some one says just remember who you working for

*Spoiler* Tuco just before he had shootout with Hank and he probably manages to escapes instead of being killed by Hank.

You would never think Mr Cruz could play such a dark evil part because he is so soft spoken and sweet..but he nailed this one for sure!!!!Love this guy !! ; )

[@jenniferselk7936]

+Robin C I agree! When I first saw him interviewed, I could not believe that is the actor who played Castro! Yes...anybody can grow or cut their hair, shave or grow a beard or dress any way...But his personality and demeanor... I could not believe this was the same human being who played that hideous piece of slime..

[@soawn29]

His acting is on another level, you feel fear everytime he appears thats just pure talent, dude you are one of the best actors I have ever seen

[@Ortium]

Once you finish watching breaking bad , you cannot absorb the fact that tuco's actor is a calm nice guy in real life

[@mikeysaint4368]

Raymond Cruz is one of the reasons Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul are so great. It's not just the lead characters who are brilliantly cast, but the supporting actors too. There's so much talent out there, and Vince Gilligan and Co. find the perfect people so often.

[@Dreamskater100]

Is Vince Gilligan and Co. a casting agency?

[@GREGOR956]

Right the only reason he left breaking bad was because his girl didn't like the character.

To be honest he doesn't even look that threatening, he looks like a normal Mexican guy but the scariest thing about him was his unpredictability and absolutely insane behavior. I really enjoyed tuco as a character.

[@GuappaChoppa]

Exactly and even just looking at the actor it feels like he’s going to explode at any moment

[@homecontent9471]

In a parallel universe Tuco got some mental health treatment and was raised by a regular family, becoming an actor.

I mean we all know him now from Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, but he was fucking terrifying in Training Day a few years back before any of that when I first saw him (The "I had my shit PUSHED in" guy) And like Lorderik below me said, the actors who play the most horrifying characters always turn out to be the nicest guys ever!

Utterly convincing as tuco. Hard to shake

[@dekurvajo]

Seeing him in the movie was even more scarry to me, because i knew a guy around (20 years ago) who just looked like him, even his behavior was similar, and it was always a kind of fear around him because he well known was a ticking time bomb. He was like a cheap, and low level criminal (and bounce man as well) and i never had any problem with him but f*... it was just better walk away from him as far as you can. Seeing this guy in his role was the most scarry snd realistic act i ever seen.

[@sweatshirtmusik]
