Tony Dalton joins me to discuss his unforgettable role as Lalo Salamanca in Better Call Saul — one of the most charming yet terrifying villains in television history. We talk crafting Lalo’s killer smile, joining the Breaking Bad universe late in the game, working with Vince Gilligan & Peter Gould, and how Bob Odenkirk first reacted to Tony’s take on the character.
