Raymond Cruz on Breaking Bad’s Tuco Salamanca
Via http://blogs.amctv.com/breaking-bad/2009/03/raymond-cruz-interview.php
Q: How did you find out Tuco was going to die?
A: I asked them to kill me. Honestly, I wasn’t looking forward to coming back and doing the part. [Laughs]. It’s really difficult to pull off. They were like, “We want you to come back and do eight more episodes.” And I said, “No. I’ll do one more and that’s it. You guys have to kill me.” They’re like, “We never heard of an actor that wanted to die.” And I’m like, “You don’t understand. This part’s really hard.”
