Late Night with Seth Meyers
/ latenightseth - Комедії
Nacho is the Jessie Pinkman of this show. The heart underneath all the cruelness of the story.
And lalo is his Walter
Absolutely
He is 100% smarter than Jesse. Jesse is the wannabe Nacho of Breaking Bad.
@@mace2172 Nothing wrong with that. Jesse has a far bigger heart than Nacho anyway.
Skyler is the wannabe Kim though.
Please don’t compare them hahaha they all have their unique characteristics.
The bad guy everyone loves and wants him to succeed.
There are no bad characters in BB and BCS only real ones
@monokhem Wow, you really showed them by calling the characters ridiculous
He's not really a bad guy. He's just in a bad place.
@@ciosy3135 hector, tuco, and the salamanca twins are bad people.
@@artificialinsolence3182 oh he's a bad guy alright. Just coz he's not as bad as the salamanca's doesn't mean he's a good guy
His acting skills are seriously impeccable. Anyone who has played Far Cry 3 will have known this for a long time!
JoelGetsKilled ByAbbyInTLOU2 i thought id seen him before lmao
@@schalz9209 He was the first actor/voice actor that I was absolutely SHOCKED at how well mocap had remade a person for a game.
I'm so dang keen for the next farcry with Giancarlo Esposito playing the new bad guy! Its gonna be so bad ass!!
Vaaaas
have i ever told you the definition of insanity?
The scene where he swaps the pill of Hector was so intense my fav scene of him
Him practicing swapping pills was riveting in itself.
It was nerve wracking man!!
Yeah man
It made me so anxious 🥺
حتى انا افضل لقطه غير انه وترني
This dude has some serious talent. He tends to steal scenes with subtle and thoughtful performances. I hope his career is a long one.
He says so much before he even says his lines that they seem to carry that much more weight when he does speak .
I hope Nacho's LIFE is a long one, but I'm having serious doubts rn
i think, Mando, and the old guy, and the boss guy, they are the show. the lawyer i dont care that much about currently.
@@magnetmannenbannanen" tHe LaWyEr"
I knew this guy was special after witnessing his performance of Vaas in Far Cry 3. I had never before been that drawn to a video game character
Why on earth would this be his first late-night appearance? He’s been killing it for years!
Tyler Drainville might be a busy schedule he has? But yeah I was shocked too
I think those familiar with for profits can tell you.
what are you 6 years old.Late night TV is for Political Chumps. This guy IS good though. Late nite TV not needed
He's only just breaking out in the mainstream. You know him because presumably you've watched the shows he's been on
Because they don't understand the definition of insanity
His grizzled speech to Hector, particularly when he says "You think of me" was one of the best delivered lines in the entire Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul universe. Watching Mando develop his character throughout the seasons has been one of the joys of BCS (among others). Hope he gets the roles he deserves, great actor.
True
His emotional scene on the phone with his dad might be the best acting I’ve ever seen. Hats off to him for being one of my new favorite actors
his greatest character is vaas.
Damn right. Mando has done a lot of Shakespeare. To me that was his Shakespearian moment. He brought incredible gravitas, beyond anything his character has shown before, to an important moment. He said he wasn't sure how to do the scene so he did it many different times. This was a brilliant take!
You wrote "Mando" and i got lost in "The Mandalorian" for a sec!
Michael Mando is one of the best actors that needs more credit. He steals the show in Far Cry 3 as Vaas and does it again in Better Call Saul.
I agree that he is a great actor, but the one who steals the show in Better Call Saul is Lalo Salamanca.
Tuco and Nacho are the only actors i will never asked to have picture with. I'm scared. They looks legit.
@@WrestlingPH pretty much how good they are tbh
@@WrestlingPH Lol that’s true! Tuco was epic too!
7
Imagine his father hearing his son got a lead role to a prequel to such an amazing show, then seeing him easily become one of the best characters in thr BB BCS universe..
atleast Nacho make his (real life) father proud in the end
@@alfisyahrin7801 I heard his dad passed away right before the final season :(
He really does have the incredible skill of saying a lot with just his facial expressions. Incredible actor
@Zoe TheCat Exactly. That's why Brando, Chaplin, Nicholson, even modern actors like Hardy and Dicaprio. It's all about the silent film.
When he’s playing a villain, the way he shows facial expression is terrifying! Looking at him, straight in the eye, chills start feeling down my spine...
Now that!... That is crazy...
(Vaas anyone?)
3:40, 4:08 I love how Michael repetitively mentions his costume designer Jennifer Bryan's full name to give her credit for his character's look.
It shows he's fully aware that being in a successful TV show is more than just being the actor.
Everybody who's involved in it gets a piece of the cake, and he highlights the ones that really made an impact.
A real one, hope to see him in other works in the future!
Coming here after BCS Episode 3. What a phenomenal acting by Michael Mando for playing Nacho. Still cant get over it and cant wait to see what's in store.
Episode 3 of First season or current Season ??
@@rohankanungo9296 Current, season 6
He absolutely killed it, was one of the best characters no doubt.
@@saintgtx Then that's where I start watching.
bro im in depression rn because of episode 3
This guy's got a natural charisma that translates very well in his performances. So glad he's rising as an actor
An a good rising actor that earned a role in the MCU as a possible villain.
He's clearly a chilled out good guy.
Like a lot of Canadians :)
He has absolutely amazing energy. Check out his Instagram and Twitter. Just a really good soul.
They said that about Cosby too. Not to sully the mood, lol, just saying.
Have you heard his definition of insanity?
Seeing him smiling and looking so friendly really blows my mind, he embodies nacho so well it's hard to separate the face from the character
He's an absolute sweetheart. His Instagram account is very inspiring.
I cant stress this enough. GIVE THIS MAN MORE ROLES!
This guy looks like he wants to enlighten me on the definition of insanity
Thats too specific not to worry about mate..
colly beans it’s from a villain in Far Cry
He played the villain in far cry 3
ah vaas, best villain in far cry
true, i got the same feeling when I saw this interview
I hope they don’t kill Nacho. I hope that he just goes into hiding.
Yeah, I really like Nacho and his dad. When I thought his dad was about to be killed I almost yelled out in agony. I couldn't even look at the screen. My husband was like, geez calm down. I was like NOOOO!!!
@@KB-wl4ip He touched his face when Seth asked him if he knows his fate. As Mike would say, "That's a tell".
I think the script writers feel the same way :) Im sure they will stretch it for as long as they can... But in the end, it is a morality tale they need to tell as well..
Cartel will find you.
No doubt that Nacho, Jimmy and Kim are going to get a taste of Lalo's wrath. But will Nacho and Kim survive?
This hits different now
This just now pops into my feed…
Dude is such a phenomenal actor, I want his character to survive.
Me too!
I hope he does what Jesse did at the end of El Camino!
Yuvraj Tripathi I think he will. When Walt and Jesse threaten Saul to get him to tell Badger not to make a deal with the DEA, Saul thinks Lalo sent them and says “It wasn’t me, it was Ignacio,” which makes me think Nacho never gets busted for what he did to Hector
He does survive. His character is named Ignacio "Nacho" Vargas. Saul mentions him in breaking bad when he's kidnapped by Jesse and Walt, "it wasn't me it was Ignacio".
@@verbalkint4258 you cannot talk about dead people?
Michael Mando and I went to College in Montreal for 3 years. I'm so proud of him. An incredible actor. One word to describe my man...Dangerous!
Wow!
How was your reaction when you saw he's acting in far cry 3
What did you's study?
@@PersonalAccountIndeed the definition of insanity, obviously
did he look as scary then as he does now?
Fun fact vaas was created because his audition was so good. Vaas wasn’t intended to be in farcry
Julie Riddick if Michael mando hadn’t auditioned then vaas would’ve been a large half-blind brute with numerous scars and tattoos on his body can’t remember his name though
wouldnt guess he was vaas. the actor sounds like vaas, nacho in bcs didnt
@@HighFlyer098 🤦♂️
That pretty amazing
He deserves an Emmy for his Nacho portrayal.
Why
The acting on Better call Saul is incredible. This guy especially, everyone can relate to his motivations fears & ultimate decisions.
He is amazing.
And in far cry 3
BCS is good, but to say its better than BB is a massive overstatement.
@@steelhead750 lmao no
It wasn't me, it was Ignacio!
Did Lalo send you?
What can i do for you gentlemen?
That tells you exactly Nacho's fate.
my hope is that Nacho makes a clean escape...I’m really curious to see how this all plays out.
@@faustacastaneda1578 that tells you Lalo's fate because in BB Gus tells Hector that after Jesse kills Joaquin he remains the last Salamanca. Nacho's fate is still ambiguous.
Fun Fact: Michael's iconic performance as Vaas in Far Cry 3 was so amazing it caught the eye of the directors, and therefore invited him on an audition for BCS. And ta-da! that's how Nacho was born.
His performance as Nacho is legendary and will live on with the likes of Jesse, Walt, Gus, Mike, Sauk and the rest of the amazing cast of characters
After watching episode 3, can confirm this dude does not ingest chocolate or ice cream.
There's only one word that describes perfectly Mando in the acting life. Underrated.
american*
@@sithlordmikeyp *Canadian
@@apratimdutta5858 French Canadian
It's sad that in the 5 seasons this show (Better Call Saul) has been on, he's never been invited to be on a late night show 🤦🏻♀️
Jenn Rebo weird there is only three seasons
@@myname-uc6gr en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Better_Call_Saul_(season_5)
He's not really the star, he's still a character actor of a fairly minor part. There's always a first for everything, though, and being on Seth Meyers definitely marks the beginning of the next phase in his career :) Other late night shows will see this! Movies are coming!
@@GlennDavey I'd say after Saul, Mike and then Kim, he's the most important character. Not a minor character at all imo.
Yes....I can’t stop crying😮😂🤪
Who's here after Nacho's sacrifice? Fabulous performace Mando!
He’ll always be Vaas Montenegro to me. The original delivery of ‘the definition of insanity’ is just scarred into me, and it was rammed home by the final pay off with the helicopter crash.
Thank you. I never made that connection until just now. I replayed Far Cry 3 just last month.
Vaas scarred us all...
Probably one of THE best game villains ever.
The whole island is scarred into me. That game is legendary
Everyone in the comments is talking about it so it must be one hell of a performance.
How did I not realize this was the same guy
The "VROOOOOM" poster in nacho's house kinda gives me the idea that he might make a run for it at the end of the series and get away... Or at least try to.
@@bretamcclanahan7920 It's All Good Man.
Good pick up
Next summer on amc: Vroom, the Nacho story. a Better Call Saul/Breaking Bad presequel!
I think he'll flee the country with his pops with the help of Saul.
Fausta Castaneda it would be crazy they run into Jesse Pinkman
R.I.P Nacho, went out like a champ
Crazy looking at this now… 😭❤️
Watching this after season 6 episode 3 ........
Despite Michael Mando’s fierce look, it’s likely that what got him on BCS is the sweetness that emanates from him.
i also hear they may have hired him due to his performance in Far Cry 3, i hear Vince loves video games and hence why Steven Ogg (Trevor off GTA V) also made a small appearance
but yes, also he is a lovely human being and i hope this is just the start of his career
Love his eyes! Even as a little kid!
" YOU THINK OF ME"
When Walt and Jesse kidnapped Saul he mentioned Ignacio.
And lalo
Really..??
You don’t remember how he was spoken about do you? Like as in the past ? I guess we’ll find out.
The lawyer knows nothing.
@@officialgrandasiah1717 He said *I didnt do it, it wasnt me it was ignacio!!!* and then he says *Did lalo send you?*
I absolutely love this guy's voice.
He's actually born and raised in Quebec and his first language is french !!! Underated actor !!
He was born in Québec, but he moved to Côte d'Ivoire at a young age and spent most of his childhood in Africa.
@@mathpoulin thanks for the info, didn't know that part
damn this was one of the smoothest and most natural interviews I have seen in my life
Oh Michael 😣😣😣 this hits different now
Did I ever tell you the definition of insanity?
Collie One of the greatest game villains of all time.
@@Rockovissi He was never a villain, the world is on a diagonal, he is the balancing point.
But seriously THE best, possibly second only to the Father
@@Rockovissi I can't really explain it to you just watch the symmetry theory on fc3
Nacho's story on Better Call Saul is my favorite, I'm rooting for him!
Same, I can so relate to him trying to help his father and all. Feel bad for nacho :(
Infected Jello Me too. I think his father will probably be killed by the Salamanca family.
for real, as much as i love Saul whenever his arc comes on my attention is multiplied
So fking true
He's such a ray of sunshine in real life ! Love him, he's very talented and also a very nice and fun person
Teresa marry me
@@plasma9839 statistically speaking, the probability of Teresa accepting your proposal over the internet is close to zero percent.
@Prince_of_Persia damn.. it was just a joke. But I’ll go ahead and claim internet credit for it.
@Prince_of_Persia Lol I will try to use those powers for good in the future.
rest in peace varga i just saw ep3 s6
He's the definition of someone who looks threatening but also highly intellectual and could probably describe insanity pretty well.
Still scared of him. His performance as "Vaas" was truly terrifying, and brilliant.
Rip Nacho
"Tell me Seth, Do you know the definition of Insanity?"
Its Vaas!
"The world is a diagonal... I am the balancing point."
Yeahhh!
Did I ever tell you the definition of insanity!
Oh yeah, I love BB and BCS but Vaas was hes best character imo
Man Ignacio better survive this, but I'm scared for his father
This is the first I seem him as himself and not the character. 🤣😂 This is so weird 🤣😂 He’s all bubbly and smiley.
What a good actor!
Those last lines to Hector were amazing
The entire BCS/BB universe is a crafted in such a way that I became hooked from the beginning. Like most fans of the show will say, the writing, cinematography, and acting is top level. Nacho is a great character and MR. Mondo does him justice in his portrayal. Great job to all of you.
Nacho is the Jesse of BCS.
It's because BB starts off with what is basically an incredibly well-made FILM as its very first episode, with hooks all the way through it. Here's a man, here's his problem, here's what he decides to do about it. If you never watch another BB you already understand everything, but you're right, it's "crafted in such a way" that you MUST find out what happens next. I don't buy TV series on Bluray usually but this one I HAD to own.
It's Mando, not Mondo
The cinematography of BB/BBS has influenced how I go about doing photography, at least in the concept of trying to capture a grand feel sometimes in the more mundane of moments. It's truly artistic what they do.
Tbf the first couple of seasons of BCS were pretty hard watching it got better in each season and bringing back a lot of BB characters have made it a lot more watchable
Damm RIP Nacho Varga
Well this hits differently now
Rip Ignacio Vargas. Nothing but respect here.
POV: you came here after S6E3
😔
In a way he got the second chance and saved his father by doing the only thing he could and in a way it was the "right" thing to do but like all of us we will miss Nacho, Michael did an incredible job with his role!
He's a kick ass actor and knows how to hold a close up. His face is telling the story.
RIP Nacho Varga
Came back here after S6E3 and I’m wondering how many people are now heartbroken. 😮
This man is an great actor. i hope he gets more oportunities.
He is a great actor and I hope he has a nice long career.
He plays the scorpion in the mcu
He was great in the scenes where he switches the pills.
One of my favorite dudes on Better Call Saul.
This hits different now...
He's so genuine, really adorable
I am jealous of this man, he gets to experience breaking bad for the first time.
Watches Breaking Bad: "Where is Nacho? Where is Nacho!?" cries
Amazingly everyone thought that BCS was going to be the typical prequel failure just like many franchises but i think it ended up being better than BB. I don't know how they did it but somehow they were able to connect the prequel with things that happened in the first few seasons of BB. And I'm talking about minor details like when Jimmy talks about Nacho helping to kill off Lalo. Every episode is just mind blowing
I found Breaking Bad more exciting/thrilling but Better Call Saul has much better cinematography and better writing overall.
The writing is good but at times self-indulgent to the point of negatively impacting pacing. I love the show but found a lot of the series (in particular the first few seasons) to be excruciatingly boring. These last two to two and a half seasons have been worth the wait.
It’s not better, but very good
The writing is good but the dialogue most of the time is very basic and.. dull
@@ajaysidhu471 shhh
Well, we now know his fate.
anyone here after we saw how he went out? fucking legend
such a cool scene. What a way to go out.
This dude is top shelf. As good as it gets in terms of acting, with mesmerizing performances every time he's in a scene.
Spoiler: At the end of Better Call Saul his father is killed, he goes mental, escapes to an exotic island and starts calling himself Vaas.
Douchy McDouche how do you know?
@@janmalla.2652 Because I looked into Michael Mando's eyes and found out the definition of insanity.
Amk Amk he played the bad guy in Far Cry 3, Vaas Montenegro
Nice!!! :DD
You forgot he also reunites with his long lost sister.
Here after Nacho's final episode in s6. Amazing character, went out like a boss.
You'd never know from listening to him that English isn't his first language.
Micah Newman uhm spanish isn’t either
@@user-mf1rz9mn3l His spanish is awful!
@@KevinBelmontLuna He is French
@@user-mf1rz9mn3l he never said spanish was his first
@@ktowniecity7269 Well, no, he's quebecois
"Lotta chocolate, lotta ice cream, lotta crying in the shower..."
It's true what they say... the stars are just like us.
SPOILERS ❗️
His performance in recent episode of bcs is incredible. He embodied Nacho’s role. Nacho’s sacrifice was heartbreaking and heroic. I will miss him in the remaining episodes.
I was hoping and wishing since season three he would be the one using the vacuum salesman 😓
Honestly so sad to see him die, but it was an amazing scene. Great acting and writing.
I was so nervous the whole season because since he’s not in Breaking Bad, it was just statistically likely he was going to die. But to see that he got to insure his father’s safety, and got to control the narrative, and take the power away from the cartel and die on his terms was almost poetic. Like, I was kind of relieved that he didn’t have to suffer
His final speech gave me goosebumps. Seriously incredible
Rewatching BCS right now and wanted to see some interviews with Mando, great timing! Such an amazing actor, loved him since Far Cry 3
This actor is seriously talented. He really adds a lot to the show. He's the complete opposite of Nacho in real life!
@monokhem what do you mean how? Michael mando is an actor, Nacho is a drug dealer
@monokhem arr u dumb, then wtf is he if hes not a drug dealer huh?
This hits different now that Nacho is dead
RIP Nachito
He is definitely one of the more important characters and he plays it so well. They got the right guy for them job
Imagine never seen Breaking bad then you see better Call Saul first
His facial expressions make it so real man up until his last scene where he looks calmly in pain but at peace
He's my new crush in hollywood as of the moment.
I love Michael Mando: in BCS, in Orphan Black, and in other things I've seen him in. He seems like a great guy. For example, he makes sure to give a shoutout to the costume designer on BCS.
Far Cry 3
And Spiderman Homecoming
Didn't know he was in Orphan Black.
@@sandrapatterson2916 Vic the dick
I’ve always loved Michael Mando on Better Call Saul but after this interview I’m equally impressed with the man.
He is SUCH an amazing actor. Truly gifted. Doesn't get enough cred for that.
This guy is so great! glad to see him getting his shine on my favorite talkshow.
Mike, Nacho and Lalo = my fav.
Well we know Nachos fate now. Superb performance from Michael Mando.
Michael is such a talented actor (but I guess everyone in the cast is really good!) the episode when he has to escape from Lalo's house had me really sittting on the edge of my seat!
Wait. Didn’t that episode release this year ? How did you post this 2 years ago
Wtf he's from the future!!?
All the actors in BCS are beyond excellent, and so dimensional and well drawn they are completely believable. Michael Mando gives Nacho such a watchable, dangerous , simmering intensity, full of nervous energy - just like a tightly coiled cobra about to strike.Even his facial expressions smoulder with barely suppressed agitation - always on alert. And just like all the characters in this fabulous series, Nacho shows he is complicated and has vulnerable flaws - and that's why we really love this bad boy!
And he got exactly what he wanted his character to get.
Great performance from him. Congrats.
The best part of this show is Nacho and Mike story line, love it!
Every scene that Nacho is in is captivating. It's sooooo weird to see him on a talk show. lol
Really enjoyed watching him in character.
Great actor!
