Always plays the same character


Am I wrong?

I mostly agree. He can act different every now and then, but he's usually the same.

Yes

And yet his villains are often the best thing in a TV series.

Nothing wrong with being type-cast. Plenty of actors play the same character in different movies and shows, and people still flock to them.

As long as he’s still giving a great performance, even if it’s the same performance, people will watch him.

eh, this may be true if you look at his post 2008 work. It's not true if you go through his earlier work. Look at the cop he played in The Usual Suspects. Cool character, very emotive.

I don't think BugginOut (Do The Right Thing) and Gus Fring are similar characters.

Don’t forget Maxium Overdrive. Lol
