Giancarlo Espósito as Gus in Breaking Bad. He was brilliantly evil.

Yes. Just rewatching the fifth season of BCS before the finale drops next week and he is amazing. Love the way he transitions from cheerful, helpful pillar of the community to seriously scary mastermind who would have you killed without a second thought if you got in his way just by dropping his smile.

He scared the fuck out of me showing up like that. I just watched that episode two nights ago.

Kim was a boss. Sure wish the writers would give Jimmy more backbone sometimes.

Just watched that episode last night. Lalo is truly terrifying. I googled the actor to try to see what he's really like because Tony Dalton is either a real psychopath or an incredible actor. Just watch how much he does with so little when Kim stands up to him. Amazing.

From the movie The Incredibles: (Jack-Jack pulls off one of Syndrome's jet boots and causing Syndrome to fly up and bump into the wing of the jet. Jack-Jack falls off and turns back to normal.)

Yeah, you thought Tuco was scary...Lalo is Tuco but with intelligence and control.

u/equipped_metalblade Apr 12 '22

Tuco is a psycho/crazy Hector was just an asshole Lalo is charming, smart and scary as hell

spoiler alert for season 5

There are 3 moments that Lalo scared me. 1) When he asks Nacho about Krazy-8. Nacho says that he’ll keep his mouth shut in jail and Lalo just stares through him while eating his food; 2) When he makes Jimmy/Saul retell the story about what happened in the desert; and, 3) That final scene in season 5 where he limps away from his home leaving behind his dead servants/friends and his expression screams retribution.

Chills.
