He loved his role and was getting paid nicely for it. Sadly, his stupid wife couldn't cope with his acting skills and made him quit the role because she was scared of Tuco...So they had to kill him off in the show. He said it in an early interview.

[@concept5631]

Walter actually made Tuco insecure. He was an anomaly and when one of Tuco's men disrespected Walt, Tuco felt he had to over compensate. He did so again and again during the remainder of their encounters leading to his death.

I like that in Better Call Saul, you get more insight to this. Tuco's henchling had again, said something and Tuco tells him "Stop helping", showing that this here in Breaking Bad isn't the first occurence and Tuco never really liked him. And it likely was a long line of talking out of turn that caused Tuco to beat him up here. Of course, this is still very much a very violent overreaction, and Tuco is still crazy, but I like to see more insight to this.

Unlike Gus, who basically wanted Walts formula and then planned to have him killed, viewing him as expendable at the point, Tuco was planning on taking him down to South America and had no plans of diacarding. Tuco though little of Jessie, but keep him alive because of Walt.

What I loved was not only Raymond Cruz’s performance as Tuco, but that the writers recognize the various personalities you have to deal with in that type of world when climbing the food chain and that the higher you go, the less erratic outbursts, but still more brutal you get. Like Tuco could never get to Gus’s level behaving like that. He was always a street level kingpin at most. But then showing gus cut his guys throat in box cutter and poisoning the entire high level Salimanca crew at the pool party, but owning an entire empire. And then having to go back down to the skinhead crew with that unpredictability feeling. Every caracter felt super organic when looking at their street status.
