If you could have one actor align their characters next... who would you want to see? 👀
Gary Oldman
Tom Hiddleston.
Samuel L Jackson for sure. He’d make a great villian
Dolph Lundgren next pretty plz
Marton csokas
It’s so weird seeing how fun and silly he is compared to his serious evil characters like Gus Fring and Moff Gideon
And now far cry 6 villain
And now Anton Castillo from Far cry 6
Don't forgot Stan Edgar
@@itzSwarm0 I’ve never played any of the Far Cry games so I know very little of his character in the new one
I wanted his revolution character up here too
For someone who is so good at playing the calmest, coolest and most collected of psychotic villains, he seems like such an animated and wholesome dude in real life.
I know like I mostly know him in Movies and Games as Gus, The Dentist, Moff Gideon, and the main president Villian from Far Cry 6
@@deciduous_reaper
Stan Edgar in The Boys...
Yeah, he's really an intelligent, gregarious dude. If you want an even better sense of him, I'd recommend the episode of the WTF podcast with Marc Maron featuring him.
Ikr he always seems so happy and excited about his job and his fans
Until he snaps and he does the shift
I love how Gus fring makes a good impression of Giancarlo Esposito
@That0neGuy You hurt my braincells for not getting that it was a joke
@That0neGuy Gus
Waltuh
We need to cook
@Victor Vance Why
It’s so unreal how Gincarlo Esposito is such a nice and calm man in real life and plays some of the most diabolical bastards in fiction
🫡
That's actually most villain actors. Grand Moff Tarkin's actor was actually a sweetheart and Carrie Fisher actually struggled being so mean to Tarkin because Peter Cushin was a sweet heart IRL. It's interesting how some of the most diabolical characters are played by the sweetest people
@@nothingunderthemask and how many diabolical people have you met in real life? it's not like he's gonna be an @$$hole off screen or else he's gonna be cancelled today
@@YousefTube I was just sharing trivia ok? And I've met a few assholes in my time.
It's funny how that happens. The greatest villain actors are just the nicest people in real life. Like nicer than anyone else
I love how into this he got. I don't know that many celebrities would put the effort in for something like this, so it's really endearing. Then him wanting a picture warmed my heart
He was the absolute BEST to work with!
I love how he has fully accepted the straight up villian role.
Literally was gunna say the same thing. I would also like to add to that by saying HOW he got the job on Breaking Bad as a season regular is just more evidence as to why this man is a GOAT.
yep
Absolutely
Man he doesnt just play his characters well, he understands them, they are like a part of him, literally on a other level of acting.
Had me in the first half ngl
more of they’re absolutely separate from him, he completely understands each character and refers to them as entities separate from him.
@@alzajeb7270 Anyone can read a script, but it takes a genuinely talented actor to mold into and truly become the role that they've been assigned
This is par for the course for professional actors though. If you get into acting just to read a script, you won't go anywhere professionally. There's different kinds of actors but I will say this if you don't become the character, you're not doing a good job. It doesn't mean you have to be method, but you better believe a good actor understands their characters on a level that most other people won't but it's literally their job to do so.
Every good actor needs to know how to build his own characters, lol.
I’ve worked several jobs with Mr. Esposito and he’s literally like this in real life it’s unreal. Easily the most optimistic, wholesome, intelligent, talented person you could ever meet. Lifelong fan of his work but eternal fan of him as a person. One of the greatest villain actors of all time and I be missing talking to him often, just the friendliest, funnest, coolest guy who will ask you about your life and how you are and roll you a cigarette lol
Was this for a show? He's been in like 3 productions in NM with Breaking Bad, BCS, Mazerunner and Stargirl lol He seems like a nice guy and way different from his breaking bad character
@@MrLuffy9131 I’m not sure lol first time I met him was after Mandalorian season 1 and it was cool cuz yeah being in NM with GUS FRING and WORKING for HIM omg lol can scratch that bucket list thing off lol but yeah no, him in BB and BCS is my fave but everyone who saw him when we were working in NM would bring up BB and want him to do Gus so I wanted to be diff so I started asking Mando questions and had missed the finale so had no idea he had the darksaber smh so we talked about his hatred of Grogu but you could tell cuz of how big Star Wars is he would get uncomfortable talking cuz of NDA stuff so we’d just joke and work. Dude was hands on every job moving heavy stuff, was never once in a bad or weird mood and was always helpful, even when we took breaks he’d roll us cigarettes and just talk about us or something else. Did 6 jobs for him never had one bad experience, plus his family is exact same and terrific and that’s rare in general lol it was unbelievably refreshing, can see why Disney and all of them get him, there’s zero downside at all lol saw him last in Houston at comicpalooza 2021 he was in my town and went to see him for the first time as a fan and he literally Remembered me, made time for me, signed a funko pop and everything for free then said he’d call for another job he had and gave me a big hug better than my own dad 🥺 LOL He called too a few weeks later but our business being movers ended so couldn’t sadly but Literally the best, I’m ranting but I could go on and on I became a fan after meeting and knowing him for sure
@@stephenhester9503 wait you worked on the manda?
That sounds like an amazing experience!
Wow he sounds cooler than your average chill dude even.
Either Esposito is the chillist guy ever, or Gus is the greatest actor of all time
Possibly the former
Look at me hector
I was acting! Or was I.
Giancarlo has the same vibes with Cristoph Waltz. Not just an actor. An artist in every sense of the word.
Fax
A real actor
He’s good but Cristoph is a little beyond
both some of my favorite actors
@@joaquimgianini1234 nahh i think his acting as gus is just as good as hans landa
Man I wish he would at least mention the Dentist from Payday 2. I love his character development there and his contract heists are some of the best in the game.
SAAAAAMEEEE
It was really upsetting to not see the dentist
The Dentist is such a great character tho. Surprised it want thrown in.
Yeah, I watched this hoping his PAYDAY character would be featured. Unfortunately not. :(
@@TomFaulty damn dentist ain't here? Guess I'll find a different video to watch
This was probably said a million times but I'll say it for myself. Giancarlo Esposito definitely deserves the title of one of the greatest actors, especially of his generation. The wide spectrum of emotions and personalities he can convey is just astounding. He can be silly, fun, hilarious, intimidating, evil, threatening, calm, collected, commanding, good and bad at the drop of a hat. This guy is seriously the quintessential actor that is truly fun to watch and can make an already well-written character that much better.
Gus did a really good job playing giancarlo here
He's looks so friendly in real life
But when he's acting as an antagonist
You call it
He's the maestro
I bought far cry 6 because of all his previous roles. His character work is fantastic.
@Antón Castillo A TRUE YARAN!
@Antón Castillo truth or lies
@Antón Castillo yet pisston i still managed to liberate yara and ruin all of your worthless hard work
@Antón Castillo as if pisston you aint no true yaran your just a psycho dictator who killed his own son and disrespected the history of yara and your forcing the pepole to do your dirty work your not a lion your the lamb
@@nexorider17 vive libertad brother!
This guy is a Brilliant actor.
Everyone wants this dude to play Mr. Freeze in The Batman universe. I could see it.
El Presidente from Tropico 6: Who are you?
Anton Castillo: I'm you, but stronger
If Giancarlo Esposito took over the planet with a tyrannical regime, it would be for the best. Saving the world, one fried chicken franchise at a time
I think you should replace "el presidente" with "anton" and put "gus fring" where "anton" was
In regards to El Presedente, that depends on the player
@@cheguegriffin4179 meanwhile, Moff Gideon is in his Imperial Light Cruiser, looking at a video feed of them saying something profound about what they're like while they're completely unaware of the rest if the galaxy.
Moff Gideon: i'm both of you, but with a Starship.
That game keeps crashing
I am only familiar with his breaking bad performance, and I’ve got to say, it’s odd seeing him so upbeat lol
He's got R A N G E
What are your thoughts on his role in FARCRY 6 ?
It's honestly so fun and refreshing, makes me want to see him in a different sort of role than I have before!
@@respectthosewhodeserveit5192 clearly you don’t own an airfryer
@@tommysalami6876 lmfao
Listening to him break down these characters really gives me a deeper appreciation for his acting ability. Writers have an idea for characters and they’ll put that idea to paper, but it’s up to the actor to both be able to understand the character and then convincingly portray the character on screen. Giancarlo does it better than almost anyone out there.
This Man literally Starred in All Of My favorite Series
Care to tell your favorite series sir? Im curious haha
Is it just me, or does Giancarlo's charisma and style remind anyone else of Jeff Goldblum?
This is NOT meant to be an insult, because I fucking love Jeff Goldblum and Giancarlo Esposito. They both have such an excellent energy to their personalities
They just have a certain way about them that makes them so likable imo
I gotta agree, giancarlo and jeff goldblum have something in common, but idk the right words to describe it, i guess i just say they both have charisma
Now I cannot not see it! Brilliant!
How could this possibly be an insult?
Lol you’re so right, he’s like black Jeff goldblum
This is nice. Asking the actor about their characters’ Alignment Axis. More actors please
Who should we try and work with next?
@@buzzfeedmultiplayer Usually actors (not celebs) who understood their characters and can explain the alignment. I’d like to request Tom Hiddleston. Please and thank you 😊
@@buzzfeedmultiplayer if possible, do Robert Pattinson...that would be interesting based on the charecters that he played
@@buzzfeedmultiplayer Anthony Hopkins
@@buzzfeedmultiplayer you should get his mandalorian colleague, Pedro Pascal, on this, after The Last of Us TV series, airs.
Giancarlo’s characters are literally all the definition of lawful evil. They all work within the preexisting systems in order to achieve their nefarious goals
The fact that he remembers all of his characters to a T shows you how much thought and effort he puts into his roles.
Truly an amazing actor.
Really puts into perspective how people do evil things in history. Humans get so caught up into their goals and ambitions that we sometimes lose focuse on the negative impact those ambitions may entail. Everyone believes they're the hero in their own story it's just a shame they didn't focus that energy towards positive goals instead of sometimes horrible atrocities. Love this guy, an absolute GOAT in acting.
I agree with you, and I'm very empathetic towards people who might have just done some bad things. But you've got to wonder, do even serial killers think that they're the hero in their own story? Or do they know they're bad and fully accept it. And furthermore, which is worse? Is someone like Hitler, who believes he's doing what's best for Germany but responsible for millions of deaths, worse? Or is someone like Ted Bundy worse, Someone who only killed 30 something women, but personally and viciously tortured, raped and mutilated them for no political or motivational reasons other than because he liked it?
@@kieranwilcox7739 i dont think that everybody that does something wrong think they are doing something good, but neither do they think its bad. Maybe a serial killer knows that killing someone isnt good, but for him it isnt bad, they just dont care about it or think it is neutral (idk about psychology, probably someone understand this a lot better)
@@FrancoSF4 so you think one is worse than the other?
@@kieranwilcox7739 I don’t think serial killers think about it in a moral sense. Their fundamental characteristic is lack of empathy. I think they know what they are doing is wrong in the eyes of those who can make them pay the consequences. They don’t feel sorry for their actions. They just don’t want to pay the consequences of them. While they don’t have empathy, they still have self preservation.
Sin, simple as that.
I just love EVERY giancarlo esposito character, man I respect this guy so much.
Same, he's an amazing actor and overall a great guy
Faxs
What a fantastic actor, and he seems like a funny and humble guy. He play villains that I always end up loving.
Anton Castillo was such a cool villain so I’m glad he was included in this
This guy is a real diamond, his personality and energy is brilliant but not stronger than his way of acting as a villain. I don't know which of the two ways is stronger, that's when you realize the talent that Giancarlo has.
Just a heads up, calling him a diamond is comedy gold.
Not just any diamond. *_The_* diamond.
Speaking of a diamond,
I don’t know if you’re referring to Payday 2 with your first sentence but you are correct either way.
THE DIAMOND
He’s so humble ! He is one of the very few example of individuals in the industry that actively shows how deep his passion for performing goes, and the respect and committment he implements with it
He's really one of those actors who hasn't forgotten what it's like to be a normie like us. Maybe it's that he hasn't been cast in the major roles he deserves until recently even if he has a career spanning 30+ years
I love how he completely understands his characters, that's what makes him a great actor
Mr. Esposito comes off so friendly. He's very into this and it gives him such down to earth, human qualities that you don't often associate with actors/celebrities. It's crazy to think that such an outwardly jovial guy has such a character range. Maximum Overdrive is one of my favorite movies ever and it wasn't until a couple of years ago I realized he had a credited cameo.
Man, I know he's kind of gotten typecast a lot as the cool-headed, "I know more than you" villain after Breaking Bad, so seeing him so animated and talking so fast is a really nice change of pace. Somebody needs to really give him a role that uses that energy.
he voices Lex Luthor on the animated harley quinn show and he brings such a nice twist to Luthor, ruthless but a tad jovial’. Think robot chicken’s Lex Luthor.
Gus is definitely one of the best villains ever. The fact that every time seeing him in the show the tension rises instantly just shows how successful the character is.
The fact that this man literally looks different in each role is amazing.
He fits every single role he plays and has the absolute best personality.
Mark Hamil or Troy Baker would be awesome for something like this. They both are great actors and have a lot of passion in the characters they’ve worked on.
Mark hamill have a great contrast of playing luke skywalker and the joker
I've really only seen his more serious performances, but Giancarlo just brings this *presence* to his roles that has me hanging on each of his words every time. Bravo to a class-act actor!
It's pretty rare to find an actor that *truly* understands the character's that they play. That's a reason why I think all of Giancarlo Esposito's characters are considered to be some of the best of the best.
Damn, you could tell he gives alot of love and care to his characters. He knows them down to a point
One of , or maybe even; THE best characters in Breaking Bad

@@silvanatteveld6637 in my nose mister whiter
One of THE best villains ever IMO, his death is burned into my mind, it's so iconic
WOW! Buggin Out took me WAY back to my college years! This is such a good philosophical exercise! I enjoyed watching this video. Giancarlo has been one of my favorites actors for years. He's such a class act.
One of the things I love about him as an actor is he loves the characters he plays and he just revels in his characters and I love his enthusiasm talking about them
Would love to see him as Lucius Fox or Mr. Freeze in The Batman trilogy
Or Hugo Strange
Lucius Fox is amazing
I’d love him as mr freeze, cuz this dude is one cold mf (in a good way)
I really enjoy his voice and I honestly want him to narrate documentaries or something.
@trustnoman Which ones?
I feel many people are forgetting Esposito’s work on the show Revolution which aired for 2 seasons on NBC. On that set I was fortunate enough to have been an extra and saw first hand the level of energy and professionalism this man displays whilst acting.. something I’ll never forget.
Honestly Giancarlos real personality seems more like an older version of buggin out more than it does any of his evil characters
Giancarlo needs to play everyone in the MCU Xmen. Hell I'd settle if he portrayed Professor X and Magneto.
Oh man, he'd make a great professor X.
Lol....
I don’t think the world ready for a black professor X.
My boyfriend has been DYING for him to play Professor X too!
What about the dentist from payday 2? I'm pretty sure he played him as well
@@acebrawler2000 MINOR? HE WAS THE MAIN ANTAGONIST WHO LED TO A WHOLE CAMPAIGN
Ace knows fucking nothing about payday lol
and also he did play The Dentist
@@acebrawler2000 any character giancarlito acts is great, just saying that the dentist was a large majority of the story of payday
@@acebrawler2000 so apparently fucking is a slur now. nice good to know thanks for telling me man
I’ve never seen this actor in an interview as himself before. I’ve seen him in other roles, usually got a specific vibe from him (mostly Breaking Bad, OUAT and Mando) but he is totally completely different from his characters. I’m relieved 😂😂
Not gonna lie Giancarlo Esposito is my most liked actor, At first i saw him as gus i thought wow he is doing this very good, then i saw him in the mandalorian and as a big star was fan it felt like he was litterally the best choice for his character. And then my guys came farcry 6 out. I played all the farcry games since i was ten and then i see him as the villain. Absolutely my favorite Actor of all time
@Antón Castillo LMAOO nice
@Antón Castillo
Señor Presidente!
Giancarlo is such an amazing actor, there's so many different areas of the chart he's covered, and it's ALWAYS fun to watch
Never knew he was Buggin Out from DTRT. That was excellent work right there.
This was really fun to watch! Love this man, he is one of the best if not the best villain actor that I watch/watched!
“I have feelings on corporations”. Damn Giancarlo i already loved you, that just brings you to le next level
He is such a great actor. It's really great hearing his opinion on the characters that he played
I love to see how enthusiastic he was to come in and talk about his characters because he's prepared his hour long analysis for each one
It’s always so funny how the best villains are acted by the chillest people
“I wanna take a picture of this chart… I think it’s ingenious.” I love him
I've always loved him as a villian... I was hoping to see his character in 'Revolution'... but, he has so many. Loving the contrast in his RL personality.
Yes his Revolution character was so multi-dimensional and self-preserving!
Yes! Neville was an incredible character!!!
@@nieshamahepath What are we thinking? Lawful Evil or Neutral Evil?
@@codyman5540 Season 1 - Lawful Evil. Season 2 - Neutral Evil at best
Yes, this is where I first saw him, always known him as Major Tom Neville
Omg, I forgot he was Buggin’ Out!!!! This man really is a legend. Throw some more roles at him! I wanna see him in everything!
He is an amazing actor, and seems like a great guy! Easily one of the best villan actors to ever exist, and i just know that he is gonna be brilliant in future movies
agree with you 100%
Every missile test we do:
"I'm gonna nuke America..."
"Hahahahaha I was acting"
*"Or was I?"*

Your definitely acting just like how your country is said to be modern while living in the 50s

@@amarson2322 and redpilled
God I’ve met so many people like him IRL at work and I love them all
they’re so much fun to chat with and meet, and just fun in general
need more people like that out in the world :,)
I love to see actors that don’t just play characters, but analyze, understand, and internalize their morality and actions and really put the why into question for their actions
Giancarlo is 100% deserve an oscar
The fact they didnt include his role in payday 2 is honestly quite surprising.
He killed it as the dentist.
Agreed. Not that Payday isn't popular, most fans of his other roles probably wouldn't even know of Payday. Funny thing is I got into Breaking Bad thanks to the Dentist.
this guy is such a good actor, i love a lot of his works from breaking bad to payday 2 to star wars. he’s able to play such an intimidating character by just his voice alone
Keith David and JK Simmons should chart their characters
To think this guy went from starring in tv shows and a spike lee movie to playing some very memorable villains, wow what an evolution,Giancarlo is an amazing f'ing actor 👏 👏👏👏👏👏
I freaking love this dude!
Just saw him on an old episode of law and order yesterday. He played a defense attorney. No matter if he plays a good guy or a bad guy he's the smartest man in the room.
Now i understand why Anton Castillo is a sucess, i think Esposito didn't spend much time to master the rule of a tyrant, he already played it in starwars.
Looking forward to see many rules of you, big fan.
Im actually loving him on farcry 6. Vas is the craziest boss, but this fella looks handsome and dresses good. And he's got tanks.
Well, Pagan had all of those. Maybe not the tanks but he had attack helicopters
Sexy sexy tanks..... 🤤
@Antón Castillo how do compare to stallin or julious ceaser?
@Antón Castillo how about king min?
@Antón Castillo have you heard the word of Joseph?
where has this video been all my life
He’s definitely iconic. Every time he comes on screen, i could feel the aura he brings along
I love that he really loves all his characters and would be able to defend any of their misdeeds if he needed to. Thats what makes him such a good actor.
I wonder if there would be a way to make it more flexible? It feels like the actor will have to fit them into the chart based on the order they're asked - which limits things.
Maybe let them know the character line-up beforehand? Could be good
I want to see a compilation of the directors explaining D&D alignment rules to celebs. Just to see how long it took them to "get it"
Great video
This guy is such a good actor, i first saw him in Mandalorian than the Boys, nad i cannot picture him differently than corporate kind of aristocratic overlord. Hi is completely different in real life.
watch breaking bad...trust me
Yes trust them...
Yeah trust them and trust me PLEASE WATCH IT
His energy is insane
He seems like a really nice guy to be around
All of his work are iconic. Great actor
This man is a thriller. Such a great talent
He has been around for decades but his talents are finally being properly appreciated. I had no idea that was him in do the right thing.
Giancarlo is one of the nicest and most genuine actors out there I swear. He doesn't care what he acts in, he just wants to have fun doing it. Anton Castillo is also such a great character, they could easily make a movie of him!
i like how giancarlo is so charming and happy like and he plays vilians for a living
This guy is amazing breaking bad and Star Wars. This man really brought out my emotions in both shows
I love this guy so much that it's hard to hate his villains
his facial expression is awesome thats what make his villain act so damn powerful and scary. I loveeee it
FANTASTIC!!!!!!! I just admire Mr. Giancarlo Esposito in all things he has done!!!
Besides breaking bad, my favorite character of his was on Revolution. My God, I think he was possibly in every episode, and every facet of good and evil was displayed in his character. How come that didn’t make this list? He may be my favorite actor maybe ever. When I find out he’s in something I’m held captive. I loved the series
Revolution specifically because of him.
He’s an amazing actor and deserves much more roles!
This video made me see a new side of him. Amazing person and great actor. Every show I see him I am amazed by his acting. I wish him a long healthy life so he can continue to bring us the quality acting we don't see anywhere else.
Do amazing people wish to confine others to an island to die?
You can tell how he doesn’t take his career for granted and that’s why I love him so much.
I see him play the same kind of bad guys all the time and I love it!
Just finished Far Cry 6 and now watching this, I'm also planning of watching Breaking Bad for the first time every for throughout my half-term, I'm so excited
Always been a big fan since School Daze😍😍
I love that he’s so different from all his serious and evil characters, like he’s a total nerd which awesome I’d like to meet him one day.
He played so many different roles, this man can act anything
