Giancarlo Esposito has an acting career that spans five decades, so he will certainly have a lot to share when he visits University of Rhode Island on Monday, Dec. 4, at 8 p.m. His name might not immediately ring a bell but the slew of characters he has played and television series he has been a part of is impressive. Let's first start with his most well-known character in the award-winning and hugely popular AMC series Breaking Bad.
He played Gus Fring, mild-mannered fried chicken franchise owner by day and frightening drug lord by night. He reprised the role in prequel Better Call Saul. The five-time Emmy nominee also has appeared in Spike Lee's 1992 drama Malcolm X and Law & Order, among many others. He lent his voice to Netflix series Dear White People and the Winter Olympics in 2014 and 2018.
