"You know, here's the thing. I owe [series creator] Vince Gilligan so much. He was my champion to get this role," said the actor. "If they were to call me and say, 'We have this idea, we'd like ...' - I would say: 'Yes, you don't have to finish the pitch, I'm there, what do you want me to do?' "

He added"I would do whatever they want because I know how careful they are and proprietary they are with those characters and the storyline." Watch the appearance below!
