Giancarlo Esposito Answers Your Questions | Actually Me

[@Redmanb11]

Giancarlo is literally one of my favourite actors ever and he absolutely kills it in every role he plays

[@DJ-iu5bb]

@Amish_Paradise ok then watch Godfather of Harlem then

[@kalamarkos]

LITURALLY amazing

[@Dante1920]

Except in 'Once Upon a Time'😬

[@Murgota]

he is literally the same in every role he plays

[@octavianpopescu4776]

@@Murgota Yes, BUT he has more range than that. The first time I ever saw him was in a show called Revolution and the show switched between past and present and the present was what you know, but his character's past self was a shy, mild mannered, white collar worker and I usually don't notice this stuff to be honest, how good an actor is, but even I was: "ok, who's this?" Typecasting isn't necessarily a measure of talent. Neither is playing secondary roles. My favourite actress usually plays secondary roles, but seeing her take the lead in a mini-series... she carried the whole show. There's more to being an actor than just talent, sometimes Hollywood politics (as in office politics, who knows who), agents, the social stuff, or simply personal interests can change where a career in acting is going. I've seen plenty of very talented actors who've never been to Hollywood OR who don't even want to go there and prefer theatre or who dislike the fame/social obligations that come with it. It really depends on a lot of things.

Let’s make Giancarlo a Bond villain

[@LucasM206]

It must happen!

[@TomAndrews91]

I could see that.

[@sebjacobo9655]

Honestly that needs to happen

[@squidwardstesticles5914]

Honestly I’d rather see him in other kinds of roles. It seems like since breaking bad he’s just been typecast as the intimidating, calculating, genius villain, which is obviously a role he plays well but it gets a little old seeing him essentially just play Gus Fring in everything he’s in

[@ashleybrooke2087]

Seriously. It would be a strong role for a new Bond to be up against as well and could really make whatever new actor gets cast as Bond.

[@ashleybrooke2087]

I love that take on why he plays villains. Doesn't even have to think about it. "Because it's fun." The man has all the chill.

[@pIayingwithmahwii]

I’m with him completely on that one lol. I remember when my friends and I were kids and we would act out imaginary stories as superheroes or knights or whatever. Somehow I always ended up as the villain and I was pretty sick with it. One time I asked to see what it would be like to play one of the heroes, and my other friend played the villain, he accidentally collided into one of us during a “fight” scene and literally fell over on his own. Absolutely terrible villain actor lol. I went back to being the villain cuz it was boring playing as one of the heroes. I mean the villain sets the stage and MAKES the story. I think they’re inherently more fun

[@lukecodz]

Giancarlo now basically plays the same character in every show. The gentleman psychopath/killer/villain.

However, he plays these characters so well that I'm excited what next suave bad guy he's gonna play next.

From Buggin Out in Do The Right Thing to Gustavo Fring in Breaking Bad. This guy got range! Legend.

[@psychobiddy]

I actually came to a conclusion that Gustavo Fring and Buggin Out are two polar opposites. Gus is incredibly polite and well mannered, but evil. And Buggin Out is a very angry and combative young man, yet a good person deep down inside. Only an amazing actor could pull off both so convincingly.
