He plays Gus fring on better call Saul, reprising the role he played in Breaking Bad.

The call came in around 03:30 p.m.

The hospice social worker, Cheryl, explained the situation in a rush.
She had tried 15 judges, and all were either in court or otherwise unavailable.
By chance, she had reached me directly.
I had just finished a tough trial and was in my chambers surrounded by judicial detritus, legal briefs, scores of exhibits.
This was the sanctuary where I went to nurse my wounds after a day of inhaling other people's problems.
Name calling, failed relationships, poor judgments made by people, sometimes young, sometimes old, usually emotional.
To be honest, I almost didn't answer the phone.
The protracted and petty legal combat I had just suffered through was a case that should have been settled but for bad blood in a family relationship.
