One of the greatest actors to walk this earth!

[@christopherayettey4390]

Doesn't get mentioned enough

[@bgmethod3989]

I love Giancarlo’s work. He’s never given a bad performance. But I never heard an interview. He doesn’t disappoint. Best compliment I could give any actor or entertainer is that I could hang out with him and enjoy the conversation. Cool cool cat.

[@Kriojinik]

I love Giancarlo in The Get Down. The energy of his role and how he works with Jimmy Smits and Zabryna Guervara is great. Hands down one of the best in every project he has. 💪🏾✊🏾

[@Broseph359]

I wish they could've continued in with that show but it was too costly to continue.

[@Jdotnelson]

The get down could be rebooted and let Hulu pick it up love the series slot of people got to see like how hip hop began in the Bronx it be cool if a get down movie happened and

[@GCarnell]

Where’s the LOVE button?! Been a fan of GE’s for several years. Glad he’s still doin’ his thing.

In the words of the great 2 Chainz..... "UNDERSTATEMENT"

[@victoriaallen3753]

He is a great actor and so intelligent!

[@nokspit]

"Do the Right Thing" or Esteban from FRESH was my favorites

[@arnelevans4803]

Esteban, yessssss

[@carllee9479]

[@dyvinesun]

Very underrated actor big fan of this brotha!!!

[@toragirl2189]

I clicked so fast I love him 💐 Love his character on Breaking Bad and Godfather of Harlem.

[@willbetts01]

Dude is a PHENOMENAL Actor!

[@CASwhow]

He said so much in such a classy and eloquent way. He seems to be well aware of the history of oppressed people (Africans, Italians) from a deeply rooted level, it is exactly why he is as amazing as he is. He knows his SELF.

[@p.w.7493]

FACTS!!💯

[@ctsmith9527]

This is probably one of my favorite interviews/conversations by y'all...I think about it everyday(Rosenberg voice)

[@derrickanderson158]

I was an extra in the movie "Fenniagan Begin Again", with Giancarlo, in 1984. I was 10 years old at the time.

[@skippersankevin]

Godfather of Harlem the best show on tv. Period.

[@GustavoOliveira-qx8zn]

Giancarlo Esposito is "black excellence" to a tee.

[@AldermanFredCDavis]

Salute to Mr. Esposito for giving Spike Lee his props, not necessarily for giving him his start in the business, as he had already established himself in the acting field, but for acknowledging that his roles in Spike's, "School Daze" and "Do The Right Thing" are what really, 'put him on the map.' When you think of Hollywood actors, most people think of the mega-stars Denzel, Will Smith, Al Pacino, Alec Baldwin, Robert DeNiro, etc. I would argue that if you want to be a working actor (in Hollywood), Giancarlo Esposito has the career you want. The man has worked consistently in movies in every decade since 1979 and consistently in television since the 1980's. I would imagine that he commands a very healthy rate. He's known, but I would think not so well known as to where it disrupts his personal life, his quality of life, or where he needs a security detail just to take his family out to dinner. If I had acting aspirations, Mr. Esposito's career would be my blueprint.

[@josedorado2867]

i always said he so good at acting he literally blends in to almost every role tht u kinda forget him...underrated underappreciated

[@mcmurral07]

All I know is I fell in love with GIANCARLO when I was in the eighth grade and I Watched Taps for the first time..💗💕😘

[@myabbyohabby]

This is an excellent interview! The viewership shows that having intellect, integrity, and pride for one's self and people is not what people want to hear and see. BUT I DO. #KEEPPUSHINGEBRO

[@MOONSIP2]

Happy Birthday, Giancarlo!
