Better Call Saul Star Reflects on Final Days On Breaking Bad Spinoff
Better Call Saul star Jeremiah Bitsui explains what his final days filming the series were like. Better Call Saul is a spinoff of the long-running AMC series Breaking Bad, which followed Bryan Cranston as Walter White, a high school chemistry teacher who becomes a meth kingpin after discovering he has a terminal disease. Better Call Saul, which premiered two years after the finale of Breaking Bad, takes place before that series and explores the origin of Saul Goodman, the alter ego of the crooked attorney Jimmy McGill, played by Bob Odenkirk. The spinoff has now run for one more season than the original series, though season 6 will be its last.
Bitsui has appeared in 17 episodes of Better Call Saul so far, reprising the role of Gus Fring's henchman Victor. He originated the role on Breaking Bad in 8 episodes between 2009 and 2011. His tenure on Better Call Saul began in season 3 and he has been a recurring character since. However, while Better Call Saul has yet to conclude, viewers of Breaking Bad know that the character is in for a dark fate as Victor was eventually brutally murdered by Gus by having his throat slit with a box cutter in the original show.
