Fall Asleep To The Entire Story Of Lalo Salamanca

This video tells the full story of Lalo Salamanca, the Better Call Saul villain played by Tony Dalton, from a single line in Breaking Bad to his arrival in Albuquerque. The story follows Lalo in the order he lived. It starts with Saul Goodman's plea in the desert in Breaking Bad season 2, after which Lalo stayed only a name for nine years. It then covers how Peter Gould and Vince Gilligan decided to bring him to the screen, how Tony Dalton was cast and shaped the role, and his first episodes in Better Call Saul season 4. The narration is calm and paced for sleep, and it draws on production history and cast and crew interviews. What's covered in this video: Lalo is first named in the 2009 Breaking Bad episode "Better Call Saul," written by Peter Gould, when Saul says "it wasn't me, it was Ignacio" and asks whether Lalo sent them. Gould named the character after composer Lalo Schifrin, born Boris Claudio Schifrin in Buenos Aires and known for the Mission: Impossible theme. Vince Gilligan told Rolling Stone that he resisted explaining who Lalo was and later admitted he was wrong. Casting directors Sharon Bialy and Sherry Thomas chose Tony Dalton from a self-taped audition in July 2018. Dalton was born in Laredo, Texas, trained at the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute, and starred in Rebelde, Matando Cabos, and the HBO Latin America series Sr. Ávila. Gould compared Lalo to Errol Flynn, and Dalton drew on Samuel L. Jackson in Pulp Fiction and Geoffrey Rush in Elizabeth. Hector's stroke in "Lantern," caused by Nacho Varga swapping his pills, brings Lalo north. Lalo debuts cooking with epazote in "Coushatta," written by Gordon Smith, which is the 100th episode of the combined story. In "Wiedersehen," Lalo gives Hector the bell from the Hotel Tulipan at Casa Tranquila and meets Gus Fring at Los Pollos Hermanos. In the season 4 finale "Winner," Lalo kills Travelwire clerk Fred Whalen and reaches Werner Ziegler by phone.
