Giancarlo Esposito, a.k.a. Gustavo Fring on 'Breaking Bad,' says when his life was at its lowest, he thought about plotting his own murder for the insurance money.
Giancarlo Esposito knows — people think everyone who is on TV or in the movies is rich, and will always stay that way. But it's not always so, by a long shot. In fact, the 'Breaking Bad' and 'Better Call Saul' villain's imagination went pretty darn dark when his own times were tough.
' Esposito, who got a divorce in 2015, said that way-back time was really hard for him. 'I literally thought of self-annihilation so that they could survive. That's how low I was.' The light at the end of the tunnel, he said, was 'Breaking Bad,' which came his way after he had a few small jobs under his belt.
