    Man won an emmy for ringing a bell. Respect on him for even ACCEPTING a role like that. What did the audition look like?

      He did so much with that role while not speaking. I always thought he was a great actor.

      I haven’t seen BB in a while…but I’m pretty sure there are flashbacks with him where he is vocal.

        He also has a major role in Better Call Saul, which takes place around the time he becomes that way

          Yeah! His role was very key to how BCS ties in with BB.

        There’s the scene with Gus at the pool and the one with the cousins as kids, which also involves water. Better Call Saul had him a lot more.

        That is true. I think it’s like two scenes though. Ohh and a short cold open scene. He spent far more time on screen in the chair.

      Yes! I never realized that until you said it. He really was a legend. He was one of those actors you always thought “alright, this guy’s in it” when you see him pop up.

      Ah, the Rashomon-inspired ep, “A Matter of Perspective.” That was a good one! R.I.P. Margolis, he was a great actor.

    Remember him as a few random characters on law and order.

    Somehow made some generic characters terrifying as all fuck.

    This was a man who practiced his craft.
