Legendary performance as Gus in Breaking Bad


Just have to throw out there that his performance on BB could potentially be one of the most underrated of all time. His presence on the screen was so powerful, even without saying a single word. His ability to switch between drug lord and honest business owner was a work of magic as you could just see each thought process running through his face. Well done, sir. Get the emmy!

I agree. I hated myself for loving Gus Fring. He entranced me with his character. Couldn't look away when he was on screen!

agree, lot of depth in the role, still not sure if I love or hate Gus

I agree absolutely. G.E.'s stoic, internalization of just about all his emotional being says volumes. It's all in the eyes and sometimes it's even hard to tell by looking at his eyes. ... the mystery man, and a great character in the series.

...last chance to look at me Hector...

No doubt, he was absolutely incredible.

Totally agree. He stole every scene he was in. I don't know how he did it as the cold, emotionless Gustavo...
