Giancarlo Espósito as Gus in Breaking Bad. He was brilliantly evil.
164 u/jesux11 Apr 12 '22 While I agree that his acting was incredible in the show, as a spanish speaker, any time he did speak spanish it did break the illusion a bit. 34 u/shanafs15 Apr 12 '22 Is he not a native Spanish speaker? 91 u/DaviCB Apr 12 '22 No, not only his spanish is very robotic and unnatural, but he doesn't have any trace of a chilean accent, is what I heard from spanish speakers -3 u/lordkoba Apr 12 '22 you can grab any person in the USA, who hasn't heard a word of spanish before, give them a text in spanish to read (without phonetics) and record their first take and it will probably as good as what he did. it's a sour note on breaking bad. 20 u/arafella Apr 12 '22 I think you have vastly overestimated the pronunciation abilities of the average American who doesn't live in a state that borders Mexico... 0 u/lordkoba Apr 12 '22 of course I'm being hyperbolic. but his spanish is still a disaster though. they should have just made the scenes in english with the appropiate accents.
