Why Gus From Breaking Bad And Better Call Saul Looks So Familiar

Revolution (2012-2014)

After Breaking Bad, Esposito landed a leading role on the television drama Revolution. The show takes place 15 years after a major blackout knocks out the world’s electricity. Esposito plays Major Tom Neville, a simple family man who grows ruthless as he tries to survive and protect his family in this post apocalyptic world.

In an interview about the show, Esposito admitted that he had a fairly easy time relating to a world without power. He didn’t own a TV until he was married and despite his great television success, he went back to ignoring TV and sticking to books.

During Better Call Saul

Just because Esposito is back in the Vince Gilligan universe, doesn’t mean he doesn’t have other projects going on. While working on Better Call Saul, Esposito appeared as the Magic Mirror in Once Upon a Time and as Charles Gold on Rebel. You can hear his voice narrating the Netflix series Dear White People and see him in the 1970s Bronx in The Get Down.

Though he’s completed a great deal of television projects, Esposito’s also busy on the big screen. James Franco directs and stars with Esposito in The Long Home and the actor landed a role in the Maze Runner film franchise.

Giancarlo Esposito has been sharing his fine acting ability with the world for more than three decades and though he spent a lot of time as “that guy” in “that thing,” now his name will be forever known as one of the best actors on television.
