While Season 2 will continue the story of Jimmy, and again focus on his relationships with Chuck, Kim, and Mike, along with various other supporting characters, there is one new addition to the cast of particular note. Ed Begley Jr., nominated for six consecutive Emmy awards for his role in St. Elsewhere, will be playing a character by the name of Clifford, a new power power in Jimmy McGill's life. Peter Gould described the character as:
" authority figure who has the power to make many of Jimmys dreams come true, if Jimmy can only play ball. When you first meet him, he is highly avuncular and somebody whom youd like to spend time with and is a very sweet guy. But you wouldnt want to cross him, lets put it that way.
