      That's not "lack of respect", it's called UA-cam-algorithm. And Looper respects the algorithm, so that there is a chance for yt-watcher to find that video in the first place.
      They respect the actor enough to made a video about him (think about production cost).
      The youtube algorithm has no human-like feelings.

      Explain yourself.
      And by the way, if the algorithm has no human feelings, you can post on youtube while having human feelings.
      It's a choice you have to do, and he choose to disrespect the actor (and not even to have a good algorithm by the way, as I say in first phrase).

    Breaking Bad was filmed in my hometown, and I thought it was so cool seeing the maroon mini van in season 5 because the crew had rented it from a very close family friend of ours, and he still has it to this day, he may even let me drive it some time. When they took the van to the set my dad went along with our friend and got pictures of the set of the final season before it came out. Also the art director on Better Call Saul contacted my dad asking if he could send them some pictures of his paintings for possible use in season 4. I don't think it's gonna happen because he does pretty small paintings, but it's still so cool to be so close to such an incredible thing that has brought our city so much pride. Best show of all time. Period.

    Sad he asked for the character to be offed so early. Simply because Tuco was one of the most intense and sinister villains we've ever seen written for TV and he was so beautifully portrayed by Raymond Cruz. There was never a dull moment when he was around.

    He gave different explanations for his role as Tuco to be killed off... in interviews he has also stated that he didn't like the character because it's so far from his real personality and made him feel depressed. It's probably a combination of all of them... schedule, wife, personal well being.

    What's so scary about Tuco is the fact that he himself doesn't know what he is going to do. He is the total opposite of Gus. He doesn't scheme, he's not organized and he isn't stable. At any moment he could feel offended and kill you, even if your his best friend. One of the best characters ive even seen brough to screen
