If you haven't revisited The Usual Suspects in the last decade-or-so, you'd be forgiven for forgetting that the fantastic Giancarlo Esposito appears in the film as slick FBI agent Jack Baer.

Though Esposito certainly wasn't a no-name actor by 1995, he generally worked in a character actor capacity until 2009, when he played the career-defining role of Breaking Bad villain Gus Fring.

And so, going back to this film today, seeing a decidedly younger Esposito in a role you never expected to see him in makes for quite the surprise indeed. A pleasant one, to be sure.
