He had been suffering from a short illness, his son said, while his manager called him 'one of a kind'
Breaking Bad star Mark Margolis has died aged 83. The actor - who played Hector Salamanca in the hit Netflix series and its spin-off Better Call Saul - passed away on Thursday after a short illness, his son Morgan said.
Mark was nominated for an Emmy award for outstanding guest actor in a drama series in 2012. Speaking about returning to the role of Salamanca for Better Caul Saul in 2016, he said he thought he was only due to be in one episode of Breaking Bad."But there’s no accounting for taste, and the fans took a fancy to me,” he said, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
He had several small roles before he became Alberto in Scarface in 1983. "I am just a journeyman actor," he sad. Truth to tell, six months after Scarface, I had to take a job with a real estate development friend for a few months just to get by.”
