Warning: This post contains light spoilers for WestworldSeason 2 episode 2.
A face familiar to fans of Breaking Badappeared on Watch Wet Woman in the Wind (2016)Sunday's episode of Westworld: Giancarlo Esposito, known for his work as Breaking Bad's Gus Fring, the proprietor of Los Pollos Hermanos and a booming methamphetamine business.
SEE ALSO: The new, most popular 'Westworld' theory for Season 2 is a doozyEsposito made his first guest appearance on Westworldas the host El Lazo, a leader of outlaws who William (Ed Harris) was seeking out for help in order to continue on his journey through the park. Esposito's cameo in the episode "Reunion" was short but intensely captivating, and the story behind his appearance is surprising.
In an interview with Vulture, Esposito revealed that he got the call to appear on Westworldthanks to his relationship with Anthony Hawkins, who plays the character Robert.
I love Sir Anthony Hopkins I really loved the original movie about this particular subject matter. Although I don’t watch a lot of the television series, I had watched pieces of a few episodes that caught my attention. And then I got a call. That’s how it always happens!
You know, people know other people. In terms of how public life affects all this, I’ve said some great things about Anthony, and he’s said some great things about me in regards to my work as Gus Fring on Breaking Bad,so I think it was all kind of synchronous in that way.
Speaking with HBO, Esposito said Westworldwas a show he kept his eye on and he was excited to work with Ed Harris, who he's been a long-time fan of.
In terms of the actual role, Esposito delivered perfectly and told Vulturehe didn't want to necessarily play it with the idea that he's playing a robot, lest he think too much about it. It was such an interesting role though that he couldn't say no, he told HBO.
"When I first read the scene, I thought, 'Wow, what an interesting way to introduce a character who has been another character' — someone who has a multi-tiered personality who can create dissention in this world of robots and humans," he told HBO. "The unexpected nature of the scene was so exciting to me, that I couldn’t say no. It was such a duel in many ways: an intellectual and moral duel, even more than a physical duel."
Hopefully that's not the last we see of Esposito in Westworld. Who knows, he could come back as a completely different personality.
