[@menty6633]

Gus Fring is one of the top 5 best villains on televison ever, IMHO. Brought to life brilliantly by Giancarlo.

[@ashishbahuguna9367]

Nope THE BEST

[@menty6633]

Q from TNG, The Mayor from Buffy, Ramsay Bolton, GoT. The Cigarette Smoking Man, ‘The X-Files’. There are some great villains. But he's right up there.

[@leodicaprio5244]

Anton Chigurh is my nightmare

[@hectorloza3321]

Ashish 21 nope the best is walter.

[@dclchronicles]

I wouldn't call Q a villain. At the TNG finale he helps Picard saving the universe...

[@Duggy123]

That voice is just not what you would come to expect from him, it's quite friendly and approachable as opposed to the menacing Gus, lol.

[@lynnturman8157]

Ever see him in Do the Right Thing? The original YO

[@hineighbor]

You mean, like, acting?

[@MikeThePole]

That's not Gus. IMPOSTER!!

[@xyzhou6207]

To be fair, Gus Fring is a very friendly successful neighborhood businessman... And some side jobs but let's just put it away for a while🤣

[@dunbass7149]

Duggy ye but gus has like a kind approachable public facade

[@ashishbahuguna9367]

What kind of a man talks to DEA.

[@baburao87]

A rat

[@salilram143]

He doesnt even resemble Gus.. Not only mannerism, but the way he keeps his face Talk about a GREAT actor

[@dreweckhart6894]

Really thrown off that he sounds like a normal guy and not exactly like Gus.

[@splabbity]

On the set: (Flamboyant, animated, laughing) "Sorry, sorry, I messed up, lemme try that line again." (Turns back into Gus)

r/accidentalracism

[@MrClickity]

How is that racism?

[@dreweckhart6894]

Samuel Irvin I had the same reaction when I saw Bryan Cranston or Aaron Paul in other stuff. It’s just a testament to how great Breaking Bad is. Giancarlo Esposito beIng Latino doesn’t have anything to do with it.

[@peterp2153]

Esposito isn’t Hispanic, he’s half-Italian, half-African American. Giancarlo is Italian for ‘John Charles’.

[@lauramaue]

I give you the only guy who can sweep up trash in a fast-food parking lot and still be intimidating.

[@rahuljoshirahulmagic]

The guy to Giancarlo after getting his tattoo: Is this satisfactory? Giancarlo(Gus) : it is acceptable.

[@deltahomicide9300]

Esposito is such a gentleman. He always turns to talk to the co-host and other guests in every interview

[@bim69]

This jovial, happy-go-lucky man played the greatest, most menacing and spine chilling villain in fiction history. Unbelievable.

[@evilspell93]

To the people who for whatever reason still haven't watched Breaking Bad, but want to. You might wanna skip this video.

[@annih7385]

Thank you. Yes, I do exist.

[@ploidz]

And start with Better Call Saul, working your way up to BB. Tell me how it is for you after you're done with the whole thing. I wonder how things would be if I've started with Better Call Saul first.

[@evilspell93]

@@ploidz I disagree. Always watch in release order, if you watch something for the first time. Prequels usually require some knowledge of the original work. There will be moments you won't really understand, if you haven't watched the original.

[@elcid5033]

please start watching it, you owe it to yourself

[@justfetus]

lol dude. maybe not the time to bring up your 'life lesson'. Someone pointed out that there are spoilers in this interview. Good on him, I'm sure people appreciate it. Lighten up.

[@tornaodes33]

My wife and I were at an Ohio Comic Con and Giancarlo stepped away from his booth and came out behind the sheet like 5 feet from us and said "hello" to us. My wife let out a little scream and kidney punched me. Now anytime I watch a show and see him, I remember the pain I felt from that judo chop I received.

[@Kralkuscov]

When he said he was pulling up his trousers to reveal something I thought it was gonna be an ankle holster with a revolver in it like the one Gus has in better call Saul.

[@isas_ramuk]

"explain yourself"

[@idea_music]

Gus is one of the greatest villains of all time

[@meryyeanellacastillorivera8057]

Giancarlo came to comic con Lima and I met him personally. I can say he's such a good person and actor!!!

[@andersonhail123]

Damn his accent is so good in the show I thought it was real.

[@billyeveryteen7328]

Giancarlo's Spanish was pretty bad, but I also thought the accent he was using on the show was his own accent.

[@MALIRIPPA]

Wtf is wrong with the Crowd?

[@israelp348]

@@DarkPhantom747 WTF did Bill Burr do to them?

[@eddm1256]

Why do you ask that?.

[@ES1Baller]

I noticed that the crowd isn’t into it at all. Such a shame that GianCarlo doesn’t get the respect he deserves

[@beeskneescatspajamas]

MALIRIPPA It wasn’t that funny?

[@andromedaiscoming185]

The story wasn't funny, hes not a good story teller.

[@hosamalg]

I met and greet Giancarlo Esposito at CC in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia Such a wonderful actor and human being

[@Alaa-j61]

يا حظك

[@BatmanBurritos93]

Plot twist: he shows him a tattoo of a wheelchair. Giancarlo: AHH!

[@samerna5776]

I would like to see him working with Tarantino and Scorsese.

[@anut8733]

Man, Gus Fring really played Giancarlo well

[@makarandkinikar7786]

He is such a good actor.Surely one of the best villain if not the best villain.

[@lynnturman8157]

That's a good thing. Don't encourage them.

[@asupertramp948]

@@lynnturman8157 Yep!

[@fathergabrielstokes4706]

Los Pollos Hermanos is hiring I believe.

[@lionessmummy4418]

It’s lovely to see him smile. I just got done watching about eight episodes of Breaking Bad, where the whole time, never saw Gus genuinely smile and saw him slit one of his henchmen’s throat with an exacto knife. Gheesh! Now that I’ve seen the actor smile, I can now relax and be like “ok, he’s just playing a character, he’s not a complete monster irl”.

[@sinantuna2859]

he has gotta be the future morgan freeman with that voice

[@virusts]

After The Mandalorian he will be loved at Comic-con forever

[@mcgibs]

Breaking Bad is the TNG of crime dramas. Those characters are going to be remembered for decades.

[@jugglaassassin]

I still love him from that movie, Fresh

[@brianbitner]

I got to interview Giancarlo a couple years ago. Definite high point. :)

[@melsoloh]

Big fan of Mr. Esposito since his days as Mike Giardello on Homicide: LoTS. Met him at an IGN Convention a couple of years back and he signed my out-of-print Homicide DVDs. Wonderful person, intellectual and down-to-Earth

[@Tintinandasterix]

Jeff Winger and Pierces Brother

[@donbeck8835]

It's so weird hearing him without his Gus accent

[@michaelr9427]

LMAO I saw the actor at Dick's Sporting Goods the other day 😂😂

[@andrewenciso4791]

In all seriousness he seems like a genuinely cool dude

[@doop00]

Loved his character a true gentleman and professional playing it fair until you happen to cross him and interrupt his workflow. The same goes for many of the other characterson the show you both loved and hated them and that was one of the best things about the show imo.

[@baxatakbaxatak2014]

I’ll never forget meeting him at Richmond CC. He complimented my Gus cosplay, and was astounded to learn I knew about he and Elizabeth Mitchell reuniting on OUAT (they did the short-lived Revolution together).

[@madelinegarber7860]

I can’t wait to see what he does with Mof Gideon. He plays bad guys so well and the Mandolorian has some great writers and directors. I have high hopes.

[@LarryLeeMoniz]

Giancarlo Esposito is a crazy good actor.

[@radi2986]

He was hilarious in Noting To Lose

[@aarongiza1469]

I like this actor and the character he plays

Jeff Winger & Gilbert in the same room again!

[@andyzhang7890]

Imagine being that fan watching this video

[@esraaemad152]

He is soooooo nice❤️

[@capnmojo]

Some actors basically play themselves (Tommy Lee Jones, Robert Downey Jr). This dude transforms himself.

[@christophergalligan9160]

I know it’s kind of on the nose, but I’d love to see Giancarlo as “2 face” against Batman.

[@turbothrottletrouble4217]

Wait, my brain is saying no to his voice coz i was soooo used to Gustavo Fring lol

[@janetbumpus9448]

Love this guy!

[@mythorganizer4222]

He's as much of a gentleman as Gus is.

[@Buenomars]

Impeccable.

[@sdawg4834]

That would've been funny if someone walked up to Esposito as Buggin' Out....Now that would be something!

[@mydogsbestfren7490]

tough crowd

[@rithrius5384]

Gus: _"Get a tattoo of me on your other leg............. Do it."_

[@AsianPaulConrad]

Everyone talking about gus, but he'll always be "the dentist" for me.

[@Driv3ItLikeUStoleIt]

People treat their bodies like scratch paper nowadays

[@chrisjt86]

Pretty sure tattoos have been around for millennia.

I would never have every imagined that Buggin' Out grew up to be Gustavo Fring.

[@valerie0000]

Gus is so cold and intense and Giancarlo is the opposite of that.

[@bunthansephierothkong5478]

Ha his actual voice cool

[@LPChipi]

He's like a black Ray Manzarek

[@23igna]

true , he has a similar voice tone

[@thejew1789]

What really amazes me about this man is he is NOTHING like his character. He is a chameleon. When actors portray characters, they generally use some of their own life experiences to help them with the portrayal. Gustavo Fring and Giancarlo Esposito are polar opposites. Fring is a cold-blooded killer, and while I don't know Mr. Esposito personally, he seems to be an energetic, sweet extrovert. This highlights the brilliance of his Fring portrayal. He is nothing like this character. Same goes from Bryan Cranston.

[@moonxmoon1096]

This is kind of awkward because I'm going to comicon to see him

[@MissAnalyn]

I still find him scary even though he is out of character as Gus fring . Best villain ever 👍🏽

[@TheDarkLordOfTheNerds]

Okay the last four random Conan clips in my recommended have all had Joel McHale behind them I think he’s following me
