Giancarlo Esposito may be a go-to bad guy in Hollywood, but he wants everyone to know it’s just an act.⁠
⁠
Esposito broke out as the villainous drug kingpin Gustavo Fring on AMC’s #BreakingBad and its spinoff #BetterCallSaul. More recently, he played the corrupt Mayor Cicero in Francis Ford Coppola’s #Megalopolis.⁠
⁠
Speaking on a “Villains We Love to Hate” panel at the Tribeca Festival Lisboa, Esposito said, “I’m playing a human being who has all kinds of emotions from A to Z.”⁠
⁠
He recounted hosting one of his daughters on the set of 'Breaking Bad.' During her visit, she saw him perform an especially dastardly act as Gus Fring in front of the cameras. “That’s Gus. This is papa,” Esposito told his daughter between takes to resolve any conflict in her own mind.⁠
