This guy is full of energy and filled with surprises. Did not thought of his personality is this much exciting.
Just finished watching breaking bad back in January while in depressive state of my life, later finished the whole franchise including better call saul and el camino movie. Best decision ever.

Unpopular opinion, just hear me out: Don’t get me wrong, I love Giancarlo Esposito playing villains just as much as everyone does but here and there I wanna see him in a non-antagonist role and one non-villainous role I feel he would nail is LUCIUS FOX for James Gunn’s DCU as part of the Bat Family

The James Cagney movie he's talking about is actually White Heat.
Anyway he is right, Cagney was a fantastic villain (not surprisingly he was also the inspiring muse of Joe Pesci for his gangster roles) and, like Giancarlo, he also had a background in dance and music, funny enough.

His mom performed with Josephine Baker She's a legend! Josephine Baker was American, moved to France and became a French citizen prior to WWII and despite still being a performer during the war, she spied for the French Resistance the whole time and is considered a hero of France.

This dude has an energy about him that is quite magical. I know it may sound pretentious: he's got gravitas! To the point where you go Oh, wait, he's a funny and light hearted guy, not some menacing, calculating danger. Love his acting. EDIT: I would love to see him do Shakespeare!

It's so interesting that Giancarla, rather than the character he played in Do The Right Thing, Buggin Out, was more of a bridge between the Italians and Black folk in the story than his character was played to be. He was also freakin amazing in it, as he is in everything he plays.

The best bad guy ever. What a great actor.
Edit: best death scene ever. I had the pleasure of introducing my elderly aunt to Breaking Bad, this guy, and his iconic death scene.
I'd love to buy him a drink of his choice and hang out. I adore his real character.

8: 40 - this explanation of his switch to film and TV is SO indicative of the style he brought to Fring. The compressed, internalized rage along with the suppression of any joy or passion was so compelling to watch, and in a way as tragic as it was frightening.

I have loved the way Giancarlo has created and presented his characters, and dang it he seems like not only he absolutely enjoys what he does but he's also a nice person. I hope he continues to succeed and I get more chances to enjoy the realities he creates

This is my first time seeing him out of his Gus character. OMG! Usually with celebrity interviews, I see the character in the real person. He must be a very good actor because Gus is not coming through in this interview. You go, girl Dad!

An incredible actor who becomes the characters he plays. I first saw him as a school teacher who becomes a general in the tv series Revolution. I hadn't seen Breaking Bad at the time so didn't know he was in that beforehand.

I knew I absolutely loved this man for a reason and now I have so many more reasons to love him. The pride in his heritage, the talent he exudes in every role, and his consummate professionalism are so inspiring.

He played Anton Castillo pretty dang amazing and i wish we get to see more of it

I swear the most terrifying actors in movies and TV always seem to be the most nice and friendly you will ever meet in person. If this is not true tell me who is both the bad guy on an off camera.

Yeah, the best ones are the ones where you can actually see why and understand why their point of view equator and why they’re doing what they’re doing whether it’s good or bad.

MASSIVELY underrated actor. Really hoping to see him be able to spread his wings in a NON VILLAIN role sometime soon. He deserves to break out of the typecast.
