Actor from Breaking Bad was extremely poor and planned his own killing

Giancarlo Esposito found himself in a tough spot when he was facing the possibility of bankruptcy. The accomplished actor, best known for his role as Gus Fring in Breaking Bad, was struggling to make ends meet in 2008. With four daughters to support, he felt the weight of responsibility on his shoulders and desperately searched for a way to provide for his family.

In a moment of desperation, Giancarlo even considered extreme measures such as arranging his own murder. He wondered if his children would receive life insurance benefits if he were to commit suicide. It was a dark and troubling thought, but he was willing to sacrifice himself in order to secure a better future for his kids. However, he quickly realized the devastating impact it would have on his loved ones and ultimately decided against it.

Thankfully, a glimmer of hope appeared when he landed the role of Gus Fring in Breaking Bad. This opportunity not only saved him from financial ruin but also changed the course of his life and career. He went on to star in numerous other successful projects, including The Mandalorian, The Boys, The Gentlemen, and Parish.

The success of Breaking Bad also led to Giancarlo reprising his role as Gus in the prequel series Better Call Saul. He thoroughly enjoyed exploring the character's backstory and would love to see him in his own spin-off series. In Giancarlo's mind, Gus was a military man who rose through the ranks before creating a new life for himself in the US. He believes that in his younger years, Gus could have been similar to Tony Montana, but eventually learned to control his emotions and become a powerful and calculated leader.

As an accomplished actor with a successful career, Giancarlo's struggles with financial woes seem like a distant memory. However, he never forgets the hardships he faced and is grateful for the opportunity Breaking Bad provided him. He hopes his story can inspire others who may be going through a similar situation and reminds everyone that there is always a light at the end of the tunnel.
