It’s been almost a week since Breaking Bad’s insane season finale, and we still can’t stop talking about it. We've even turned it into a craft project of sorts. So when we saw Giancarlo Esposito, whose character Gustavo Fring has quite the explosive scene in the episode, at the opening of The Mountaintop on Broadway last night, we had a few things to go over with him.
For starters, how did he find out his character was going to get killed off? “Vince came and spoke to me and said, ‘You know, I want to kill Gus off.’ It was a very funny moment, actually. We were having a conversation in his office and he got up to close the door and I said, ‘Don’t close the door,’ and he said, ‘No, I want to close the door.’ And I said, ‘No, you’re not closing the door.’ ‘No, I want to close the door.’ ‘No, DON’T close the door!’ And finally I allowed him to close the door because I knew what he was going to say. And then I said, ‘If it’s going to happen, it’s got to happen in a very fantastic way.’”

Excellent. He's a shoo-in for Supporting Actor at the Emmys next year.
ReplyDeleteI had the pleasure of interviewing Giancarlo Esposito recently. He is as nice a guy as can be imagined. He was a great sport and even posed with his Gus mask. http://www.acorn-online.com/joomla15/arts/features/108580-things-are-breaking-good-for-giancarlo-esposito.html
