10 Other Breaking Bad Characters Who Should Get A Spin-Off

2. Gus Fring

Breaking Bad€™s big, er, bad wasn€™t exactly known for being a one-man laugh track in the two-and-a-bit seasons he spent as Walter White€™s nemesis, although the time when he answered the telephone and deadpanned, €œLos Pollos Hermanos, where something delicious is always cooking€ was comedy gold. No, Gustavo Fring, aka The Chicken Man, aka Boxcutter Billy (yes, we made that last one up) was known for being the most chilling, dangerous, sinister slice of pure evil to ever inhabit the skin of a sweet, friendly uncle. Taking the idea of hiding in plain sight to ridiculous lengths, Gus managed to be an entrepreneur and community stalwart while also running a meth empire with international reach, and still ensured Los Pollos Hermanos kept the customers happy. Who said men are no good at multi-tasking? As regards a spin-off, the great thing about Fring is that we know so little about him. Was he really from Chile and, if so, why are there no records of him ever having lived there? Was Maximino Arciniega more than just his business partner? Did he, as he claimed, ever have children or a proper family? And how exactly does he make such damn fine chicken? It€™s certainly not beyond the realms of possibility that the man who calls himself Gus Fring will make an appearance in Better Call Saul, but it€™s not nearly enough. Give the man his own series or he will kill your wife, he will kill your son, he will kill your€ you get the point.

I watch movies and I watch sport. I also watch movies about sport, and if there were a sport about movies I'd watch that too. The internet was the closest thing I could find.
