Legendary actor Mark Margolis has passed away at the age of 83. He passed away yesterday at one of the New York hospitals after a brief illness.
Mark Margolis worked for decades, first appearing in films in the late 1970s. However, his most famous role came as the villain Hector Salamanca in the series “Breaking Bad” from 2009 to 2022.
For many years, he repeatedly appeared in Darren Aronofsky’s films, such as “The Wrestler,” “Requiem for a Dream,” “Black Swan.” However, it was one of his recent roles that became defining in his career: he played the patriarch Salamanca for 13 years.
It was no small feat. The role of Hector Salamanca was incredibly complex and required remarkable versatility. Appearing on screen as an elderly person unable to walk or speak, Margolis, nevertheless, effortlessly portrayed Salamanca’s rage, cunning, and hatred towards his adversaries. As his character developed in flashbacks and the prequel “Better Call Saul,” Margolis had to play both a younger version of the character and the boss of a criminal organization immediately before a heart attack that left him unable to move.
But no matter the condition Salamanca was in, Margolis always elevated the show. These are some of the most iconic scenes in the “Breaking Bad” universe, whether it’s killing an old enemy or working alongside his ruthless nephew, Lalo Salamanca. Margolis was nominated for an Emmy award for his role as boss Salamanca.
The actor also lent his voice to one of the minor characters in Manhunt.
