Mark Margolis, the Emmy-nominated actor who played Hector Salamanca on Breaking Bad and the spinoff series Better Call Saul, died on Thursday following a short illness, according to the Hollywood Reporter. He was 83 years old.
Outside of Vince Gilligan-created shows, Margolis also appeared in Scarface, Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, multiple episodes of HBO’s Oz, as well as almost every Darren Aronofsky movie. “Yeah, he thinks he has an obligation!” he told the Hollywood Reporter about his frequent collaborations with the director. “I started with him on his first movie, the $60,000 Pi when he was unknown. I chased him for three months because he kept lying to me about when I’d get my money. I finally threatened to call his mother, who was craft services on the film. Then he finally paid me.”
In that same interview, Margolis discussed how he got the part on Breaking Bad.
“I first popped up in the middle of season two. I’d gotten the role through a casting lady, Sharon Bialy, I’d worked with on an early HBO film with Eric Roberts and Diane Lane. I was only coming onto Breaking Bad as far as I knew for that one episode, but there’s no accounting for taste, and the fans took a fancy to me. Somebody asked me recently, ‘How did you manage to play such a horrible guy?’ and I said, ‘Have you talked to my friends?’ They’ll tell you I’m pretty miserable to begin with.”
