Social Media Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul veteran actor Mark Margolis has died at the age of 83, according to his family.

He passed away in a New York City hospital on Thursday after a short illness, his son said in a statement. Margolis also had acting credits in films such Scarface, and Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, and HBO series Oz. In the Emmy-nominated role of Salamanca, Margolis portrayed a hyper-violent gangster who is unable to speak and uses only a bell and facial expressions to communicate. The Breaking Bad Facebook account paid tribute to him, posting: "We join millions of fans in mourning the passing of the immensely talented Mark Margolis, who - with his eyes, a bell, and very few words - turned Hector Salamanca into one of the most unforgettable characters in the history of television. "He will be missed." More on this from Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
