Giancarlo Esposito Reveals His Peak Gus Fring Moment in Breaking Bad
Giancarlo Esposito debuted as Gus Fring in Breaking Bad towards the latter portion of season 2. The actor intrigued audiences with his mostly silent yet intimidating portrayal of the drug kingpin. In a recent career retrospective interview with Yahoo Entertainment, the actor revealed the moment in the shoe that elevated the character from being just a regular villain.
Esposito pointed out the first episode of the season of the show Box Cutter, where Gus nonchalantly kills his assistant Victor with such brutality using a box cutter much to the horror of Walt and Jesse. The actor pointed out the powerful nature of the scene and how it informs so much about the character with no dialogue. He said,
I think the moment or scene that I achieved being more than just the villain of the week is [the first episode of season 4], Box Cutter. What a powerful scene that is. Nothing is said in that scene until the very end of that almost 10 minutes, where he says simply ‘get back to work’ after he cuts Victor’s throat, changes back into his clothes, and walks out of that lab. Thus sending a dual message to both Walter and Jesse, you know, ‘do what I’m telling you to do.
The character has become synonymous with Esposito and is his most recognizable role to date. He reprised his role in the Breaking Bad spinoff Better Call Saul, which further went deep into the character’s backstory. Esposito currently stars in Francis Ford Coppola’s Megalopolis which premiered at Cannes.
